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.
Say, "It is revealed to me that your God is only One God. So will you submit [96]?"
[96] One aspect of you ﷺ being a mercy for the worlds is that, by Allah’s command, you continued to invite people to pure monotheism throughout your life, enduring hardships. And Allah’s promise to the monotheist is that, no matter how sinful he may be, he will definitely be saved from the punishment of Hell in the Hereafter, sooner or later. The following hadith explains this verse. Hazrat Abu Hurairah ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: “My example and the example of people is like that of a man who lit a fire, and when its light spread around, moths and insects began to fall into it. Now that man started to drive them away from the fire (so that they would be saved from burning), but they would not listen and kept plunging into it, falling and dying. In the same way, I grab you by your waists and pull you away from the fire, saying, ‘Save yourselves from Hell,’ but people do not listen and keep falling into it.” [بخاری۔ کتاب الرقاق۔ باب الانتھاء عن العاصی]
