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.
47. (O Prophet)! Never think that Allah will fail to fulfill His promise to His messengers [47]. Surely, Allah is Mighty and capable of retribution.
[47] In this verse, the address apparently is to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but the real purpose is to inform the opponents that Allah had fulfilled all the promises He made to His previous messengers, and when the time came, He helped the messengers and destroyed and ruined their opponents. And the promise being made to you will also surely be fulfilled by Allah, because He is dominant over all and fully capable of taking revenge on the deniers of the truth.
