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.

1. Alif. Lam. Meem. Ra. These are the verses of the Book, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth [1], but most people do not believe.

[1] These are indeed the very truths that have been the fundamentals of religion in the laws of all the prophets. For example, that in the sovereignty of this universe, Allah Almighty has no partner, and that the Day of Judgment will certainly come. This system will be overturned, and another world will be created, in which all good and evil people will definitely be recompensed for their deeds. And these are the verses revealed by Allah, and your prophethood is true, and these are the very things in which the polytheists of Makkah did not believe. After this introduction, now the arguments regarding the oneness of Allah, Who has no partner, are being presented.
