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.
Pharaoh said, "Then bring it [24], if you are truthful."
[24] Pharaoh's first argument was on the point that he himself was the lord; what is this "Lord of the worlds"? When Musa (Moses) عليه السلام, through repeated insistence, made it clear to him that the Lord of the worlds is that supreme Being who is the Creator, Owner, and Sustainer of the entire universe—even your own Lord—therefore, He alone deserves to be worshipped and His every command should be obeyed. Now the debate remained on whether Musa عليه السلام was truly the messenger of that supreme Being or not. This discussion was also initiated by Musa عليه السلام himself, who said that that Being had given him some signs in support of his claim to messengership, and that he could present those signs. In response, Pharaoh said, "Yes, if you can present any sign in proof of your claim, then do so."
