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.
42. Allah knows well whatever they call upon besides Him [67], and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise [68].
[67] This verse has two meanings. One is clear from the translation itself. The second meaning is that Allah knows well that all those things which these people call upon besides Allah have no reality whatsoever and are mere nothingness.
[68] That is, Allah neither desires the companionship of these false gods, because He Himself is the most powerful and dominant over all, nor does He need any kind of consultation from them, because He is the Absolute Wise, fully aware of the wisdom and benefit in every one of His actions.
