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.
Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken a covenant [71] with the Most Merciful?
[71] That is, has he received information about the unseen matters that will occur in the next life, that he will truly have the same wealth and riches in that other world as he possesses in this world? Or has he taken a promise from Allah that He will certainly grant him wealth and riches in the other world, and there he will be able to settle the account of his creditor?
