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.
4. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds seem fair to them, so they wander blindly [4].
[4] That is, those who believe in Allah but do not believe in the Hereafter determine their standard of good and evil only by the results that appear or can appear in this world. Therefore, their lives are not bound by any principle; whatever action they see as personally beneficial, that is what they consider good. They have no concern for the benefit or harm of others. All the corruption in the world occurs due to denial or forgetfulness of the Hereafter and accountability. And the interesting thing is that such people, who are enamored with the world, begin to see their own self-serving actions as good, and they think that the way of life they have adopted is the best and most excellent.
