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.
The people of 'Aad [82] also denied the messengers.
[82] After the people of Nuh, the nation that gained renown and prominence in the world was this very nation of 'Ad, which is also called 'Ad-e-Ula. This nation did believe in the existence of Allah Almighty, but was deeply involved in shirk. Their original homeland was Ahqaf. This nation was tall, strong, and rebellious. Allah Almighty sent Hud ؑ to them. The period of this nation's rise was approximately two and a half thousand years before Christ.
