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.
57. So if you turn away, then I have already conveyed to you what I was sent to deliver to you. Now my Lord will replace you with another people, and you cannot harm Him in the least [65]. Surely, my Lord is Guardian over all things.
[65] Despite all these things, if you persist in your stubbornness and obstinacy, then Allah has full power to send punishment and destroy you. After that, He can bring other people to settle in your land, and you will not be able to harm Him in the least. Therefore, your well-being lies only in bringing faith in Allah and abandoning acts of shirk.
