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.
10. In their hearts is a disease, and Allah has increased [14] their disease. And for the lies they have been telling [15], there is a painful punishment for them.
[14] By "disease" is meant hypocrisy, aversion to the religion of Islam, and jealousy and enmity towards the Muslims. Then, as the glory of Islam and the people of Islam increased, their disease also increased. [15] This lie was the same claim they used to make, that:
﴿ اٰمَنَّا باللّٰهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ﴾
whereas their actions and their movements were in the opposite direction of this claim. That is why they will have a painful punishment, as Allah Almighty has said in another place:
﴿ اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْاَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ ﴾ [145: 4]
Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire.
