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.
61. And [I enjoined], 'Worship Me alone [56]. This is the straight path.'

The Meaning of Worship:
If we go into the details of the straight path, it refers to the entire Shariah, and if we define the straight path in extremely brief words, it is this: "Only Allah alone should be worshipped." In this sentence, all forms of shirk are refuted. Then, the concept of worship is also very broad. Generally, the fulfillment of the pillars of Islam is understood as worship, but this is only one well-known type of worship. Calling upon someone for the fulfillment of needs or for the removal of difficulties is also worship. Then, the literal meaning of worship is servitude and slavery, and that too with humility, and a slave is always a slave. Therefore, the fulfillment of all commands and prohibitions of the Book and Sunnah is also included in this.
