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.

Pharaoh said: "Indeed, this messenger who has been sent to you is surely mad [20]."

[20] Pharaoh then, instead of addressing Moses (peace be upon him), turned towards his courtiers and said: Look at the reality of this man and his demand. Even if he is a messenger, he has lost his senses. He does not even realize whom he is addressing and what he is demanding.
