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.

Say, "Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you. Indeed, He is fully aware of His servants and is All-Seeing."

[114] That is, He is well aware of whether I have conveyed His message to you or not, or whether I am fully acting upon the commands sent down from Allah, and He is also well aware of the strenuous efforts you are making in opposition to Allah’s message.
