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.

And surely, the reward of the Hereafter [56] is better for those who believe and are mindful of Allah.

[56] That is, Allah Almighty certainly bestows His mercy and gives a good reward to His believing and pious servants even in this world, as He did to Sayyiduna Yusuf ؑ. However, the reward that such people will receive in the Hereafter will be far better than this worldly reward.
