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.

128. Except for the chosen servants of Allah [75].

[75] But the worshippers of Baal did not accept the invitation of Ilyasؑ. They denied the call of their Prophet and became intent on harming him. All such people will certainly receive the punishment for their sins. And those who were saved from this punishment were the ones who believed in Sayyiduna Ilyasؑ and remained obedient to Allah.
