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.
While it is not befitting [80] for the Most Merciful that He should take a child.
[80]
Declaring Allah to Have Offspring is Equivalent to Abusing Allah:
It is not befitting because offspring are neither created nor owned by the father, rather, they are his partners and of the same kind. And Allah is free from all such deficiencies; neither does He have any equal nor partner. All are His creation, His property, and His humble servants and slaves. Moreover, He has no need for offspring. Of all the benefits associated with having children, He is not in need of a single one.
