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 he drew out his hand (from under his arm), and it was shining [26] before the onlookers.

[26] This first miracle alone was enough to convince Pharaoh. While the effects of this miracle were still present on the Pharaoh's people, Musa (peace be upon him) began the second sign: he placed his right hand under his left armpit, and when he took it out, rays of light began to shine from it, dazzling the eyes of Pharaoh and his courtiers. Pharaoh and all the courtiers, lost in amazement, were being affected by these signs.
