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.
If He wills, He can do away with you and bring forth a new creation [24].
[24] That is, if you choose the path of disobedience to Allah, He will remove you. He will wipe you out from the face of existence and will settle in your place such people who are obedient to Him. Then He will test them. From the beginning of mankind, this has been Allah’s way: He crushes disobedient and rebellious nations and settles other nations in their place, and this is not at all difficult for Allah.
