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. And if they deny you, those before them also denied. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs [31], scriptures, and an enlightening Book.
[31] The word "bayyinat" is used for miracles as well as for such proofs by which a prophet can establish his prophethood. "Suhuf" means the commands revealed by Allah, which generally consisted of admonitions and moral guidance. Before the revelation of the Torah, all prophets received only suhuf. Even to Musa, before the Torah was revealed, only suhuf were sent down. "Kitab Munir" refers to those detailed divine books that provide guidance to mankind in every aspect of life. These are four: the Torah, the Zabur, the Injil, and the Quran.
