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.

64. But then you turned away from this covenant after that. And if it had not been for the grace and mercy of Allah upon you, you would surely have been among the losers [82].

[82] Despite making such firm pledges, O Jews! You still broke your covenant. Even then, Allah showed mercy to you by letting you live, otherwise the list of your crimes is so long that it warranted your destruction.
