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.
That you should not follow me? Did you disobey my command [64]?
[64] Hearing this feeble excuse from his people, Musaؑ, still in a state of anger, turned towards his brother Harun and, in a fit of rage, grabbed his beard and the hair of his head, saying: I left you as my deputy and specifically instructed you to keep a close watch on these people’s affairs. So when you saw them indulging in shirk, why did you not stop them? What was it that stood in your way, so that you even forbade them? Did you completely forget my instruction to keep a strict watch over this corrupt nation and to make every effort to reform them?
