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.
And indeed, it is (mentioned) in the former scriptures [115].
[115] This verse has two meanings: one is that the news of your being sent to the Arab nation is present in the previous heavenly books. Despite much distortion and alteration in those books, even now a collection of such prophecies is still found. The second meaning is that the subjects of this Quran, either in summary or in detail, are found in the previous heavenly books, especially topics such as monotheism, prophethood, stories, reminders of the days of Allah, and arguments and details related to the Hereafter, on which all the heavenly books and the prophets and messengers have been in agreement.
