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.
4. The Messenger said: "My Lord knows every word spoken in the heavens and the earth [5], for He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."
[5] The secret gatherings and conspiracies that they held among themselves to devise such schemes would inevitably be exposed. In response to all these matters, He ﷺ only said that no matter how secretly something is done, my Lord is fully aware of it. In other words, this meant that despite all your activities, Allah will continue to advance the work of inviting to His religion, and none of your plans will prove effective.
