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.
And he was dutiful to his parents, and he was neither arrogant nor disobedient [15].
[15] The children born in old age, and especially those children who are obtained after much supplication to Allah, usually do not have good habits and manners due to the excessive pampering of their parents, but there was nothing of this sort in Yahya (peace be upon him). He was extremely obedient to his parents and treated them in the best possible manner. There was not even a trace of disobedience or rebellion in him.
