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.
I do not ask you for any reward for this (preaching) [74]; my reward is only with Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
[74] Another important point is that I am calling you to Allah with complete sincerity and selflessness. I have no personal interest in this, nor do I demand any compensation or reward from you. Whatever I say, I say it with absolute selflessness and for your own good. Yet you have become intent on harming me. In this matter too, you should fear Allah, because the outcome of oppression and injustice has never been good. And you should accept the words of such a selfless and sincere person.
