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.
44. O my father! Do not worship Satan [41]. Surely, Satan is ever disobedient to the Most Merciful.
[41] That is, obeying Satan is in fact worshipping him, otherwise, in the commonly understood sense, no one worships Satan. Satan disobeyed Allah regarding prostrating to your father Adam, and so he did not prostrate to Adam. Yet you still obey him?
