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.
And when he turned his face towards [31] Madyan, he said, "I hope my Lord will guide me to the right way."
[31] Madyan was at a distance of eight days from here and was outside the dominion of Pharaoh. Upon receiving this information from his sincere companion, he turned towards Madyan and, taking precautions and being very alert, set out from there. At the same time, he prayed to Allah Almighty: O Allah! Save me from the clutches of these oppressors and put me on such a path that leads straight to Madyan so that I may reach there safely, away from these oppressors.
