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 you not know that Allah knows all that is in the heavens and the earth? Surely, all this [98] is recorded in a Book (the Preserved Tablet). For Allah, this is indeed very easy.

[98] That is, the changes in the laws or methods of worship of different prophets and the reasons for them—all of this is according to Allah’s knowledge and predetermined, and it is already recorded in Allah’s Book. Then Allah also knows who are the people who will create disputes even over such a clear matter. Allah’s prior knowledge of all these things, and then deciding among these disputers and punishing them for their stubbornness, are insignificant and trivial matters compared to Allah’s vast knowledge and immense power.
