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.
Say to them: "Then bring a Book from Allah that is a better guide than these two, and I will follow it, if you are truthful." [67]
[67] Say to these disbelievers of Makkah that I am ready to follow the Book of guidance revealed from Allah. If you have any Book of guidance better than the Torah and the Quran, then why have you kept it hidden? Bring it forth, and I will be the first to follow it. Allah has given this answer because they call both the Torah and the Quran magic, and magic is something that can be countered and something better can be brought in its place. Therefore, if these books are magic, then why do you not present something better than them?
