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.
Shu‘aib said, "My Lord is fully aware of what you do [109]."

The Warning of Sayyiduna Shu‘ayb (علیہ السلام):
That is, it is not my job to bring down punishment or to drop a piece of the sky. My Lord is watching your deeds. When your sins reach their limit, or when He deems it the appropriate time, He will send punishment upon you. I can only tell you this: that those who exceed all bounds in disobedience to Allah, Allah’s way is that He sends punishment upon them and destroys them.
