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.
94. So, O my Lord! Do not include me [91] among the wrongdoers.
[91] In this verse, although the address apparently is to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this guidance is for all believers. As is often the style adopted in the Noble Quran. The meaning is that just as the polytheists are committing these insolences regarding Allah, it is quite possible that some calamity may befall them. Therefore, the believers are instructed that in such circumstances, they should continue to pray to Allah that if a punishment comes upon the wrongdoers, Allah may create some way to save them from that punishment.
