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.
So decide conclusively between me and them, and save me and the believers with me from them [79].
[79] Apparently, it seems that there were only a few dialogues and debates between Noah ؑ and the chiefs of his people. But the reality is not so. For a full nine hundred and fifty years, such dialogues and debates continued between Noah ؑ and his people. And when Prophet Noah became completely hopeless of any new individual from his people embracing faith, it was then that he made this supplication. The detailed mention of this supplication will come in Surah Nuh.
