Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
These are the people who have harmed themselves, and all the fabrications [26] they used to invent will forsake them.
[26] Here, the fabrications refer to those beliefs in easy salvation, such as: if we pledge allegiance to a certain saint, he will save us from Allah’s grasp and accountability. Many such stories are still found today in the accounts of the saints. When such people witness the terrors of the Day of Judgment, the court of Allah, and the investigation of crimes based on testimonies, then all such beliefs will automatically be erased from their minds.
