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.
196. (O Prophet)! Do not be deceived by the movement [197] of the disbelievers throughout the land.
[197] That is, despite opposing the religion of Allah, the trade caravans of the disbelievers travel from Yemen to Syria and earn reasonable profits, and then they spend their lives in luxury and comfort. So, from this temporary luxury and ease, one should not think that Allah is being merciful to them. Because in the Hereafter, there is eternal punishment for them. Therefore, no one should fall into this deception.
