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.

The Quraysh Calling You Mad:
You ﷺ had said to the chiefs of Quraysh that if you accept one thing from me, I promise you that you will become the masters of both Arabs and non-Arabs. They replied, "Not just one, we are ready to accept even ten such things from you." Then you presented the invitation to the declaration of the Oneness of Allah. At this, these Qurayshi chiefs became agitated and began to say that this Prophet and his few companions are afflicted with a strange kind of obsession and madness. They do not have enough to eat, are surrounded by difficulties, have no weapons of war to speak of, and yet they dream of conquering superpowers like Caesar and Chosroes. If this is not the madness of this Prophet, then what is?
