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.
225. Allah will not call you to account for your unintentional (idle or habitual) oaths, but He will hold you accountable for for the oaths you swear from the heart [301]. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
[301] And if he pays the expiation, then even in this case Allah is Forgiving, and also for holding one accountable for unintentional oaths. The expiation for an oath is mentioned elsewhere: to feed ten needy people, or to clothe them, or to free a slave, or to fast for three days. [89/5]
