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.
So do not hasten against them (for the coming of punishment). We are counting (the days) of their number [76].
[76] Those who fall into the deception of Satan, then Satan keeps making them dance on his fingers. In this way, their misguidance keeps increasing; whatever they do is only rebellion and disobedience, and We are recording all of this in their book of deeds. Therefore, do not be hasty regarding them. And its other meaning could also be that their days are numbered, so do not hasten the punishment upon them; let the remaining days of their respite be completed.
