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. (O people!) We have sent down to you a Book in which is your own mention [10]. Will you not then understand?

Whatever is Mentioned in the Quran Relates to You:
That is, there are no strange tales or accounts of bizarre lands in it; rather, it mentions the conditions of people just like you. It describes your own state. Your own psychology and your own matters of life are under discussion. It is your own nature and constitution, your beginning and end, that are being discussed. Among your own moral qualities, the distinction between good and bad morals is being highlighted. There is nothing in this book that your intellect is incapable of understanding. And its second meaning is that We have revealed to you such a book that if you reflect even a little, there is only advice and benefit for you in it.
