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 on that Day Allah will call them and ask: "What answer did you give to the messengers?" [89]
[89] The first question to the polytheists was about Tawheed. Now this question will be about the message of Messengership. That is, the matter was not just that both the worshippers and the worshipped were going astray by following their desires. Rather, the messengers had, in due time, clearly explained to them the difference between guidance and misguidance. So, did you people accept the words of these messengers?
