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.

Do they (the Jews) not know [91] that Allah knows whatever they conceal and whatever they reveal?

[91] In other words, these Jewish scholars thought that Allah would only come to know of this reality on the Day of Judgment if the Muslims informed Him, otherwise not. Their understanding of Allah is so weak that they are not even certain that Allah is fully aware of all their open and hidden matters, and even of those things they are now saying to their fellow Jews.
