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.

In several places in the Noble Quran, it has been clarified that when this Word is revealed, a strict guard is appointed around it, which serves two purposes. First, that no falsehood can be mixed into it from anywhere [41: 42], and second, that if the devils try to eavesdrop on this Word secretly, they cannot hear it; rather, they are repelled by flaming meteors. [72: 9]
