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.

"Worship none but Allah [32]. I truly fear for you the punishment of a painful [33] Day."

[32] The people of Noah ؑ were worshippers of the idols of their five deceased elders, namely Wadd, Suwa’, Yaghuth, Ya’uq, and Nasr. The details of this have already been mentioned earlier in Surah Al-A’raf. And this will also be mentioned in Surah Nuh.
[33] By “the grievous day” is meant both the Day of Resurrection and also the day when the flood of Noah occurred.
