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.
"Our Lord! Grant us what You have promised us through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, You do not break Your promise [194]."
[194] That is, they pray to their Lord to make them the recipients of those promises which He made to them through His messengers, and to fulfill those promises for them. They fear that, having believed in the prophets and become targets of ridicule and reproach from the disbelievers in this world, they might also face disgrace before them in the Hereafter, and the disbelievers might taunt them, saying, "What did you gain by believing?" Another meaning is that they pray for the fulfillment of Allah's promise to grant them victory and help over the disbelievers in this world, and to save them from the ridicule and reproach of the disbelievers and hypocrites.
