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.
25. Say, “You will not be questioned about the sins we committed, nor will we be questioned about what you do [40].”
[40] The next point is that intellect and understanding have been given to all of us equally. If you, by deriving an incorrect conclusion from an accepted principle and establishing your way of life upon it, then we cannot be held responsible for that. And if, for the sake of argument, we have drawn an incorrect conclusion and acted upon it, then you will not be questioned about us. Each one is himself answerable and responsible for his own deeds.
