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.
So glorify your Lord [51] with His praise, and prostrate yourself.

The Instruction of Prayer in Difficult Times:
When the mockery of these polytheists, their refusal to believe, or their persecutions cause constriction and distress in your heart, the best solution is to turn towards Allah, declare His glory and holiness, and perform prayer. Through these things, instead of distress, contentment will be created in your heart, your courage will increase, steadfastness will develop, and the difficulties and hardships you are facing in the course of calling people to the faith—these things will give you the strength to face them. Thus, it was the blessed habit of the Prophet ﷺ that whenever he ﷺ faced any worry or constriction of provision, he ﷺ would himself hasten towards prayer and would instruct his family to do the same.
