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.
Or are you unafraid that He will send you back to sea once again, then send upon you a fierce storm and drown you for your disbelief? Then you will not find for yourselves any pursuer [87] against Us.
[87]
The Forms of Allah’s Seizure:
Then, the matter of Allah’s seizure is not only related to the sea; He can also send punishment upon you on land outside the sea. He can cause the earth to split and drown you in it in such a way that no one would even know, and He can also send upon you a fierce storm of pebbles and stones to destroy you, and you would find no refuge from it. He can also create another opportunity for you to travel by sea, and as a consequence of your disbelief and polytheism, hand you over to the stormy waves and drown you along with your boat. In such a situation, is there any of your deities who is such a supporter for you that he could question Us on your behalf?
