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.

Sayyiduna Lut عليه السلام and His People:
The wife of Sayyiduna Lutؑ, who was treacherous to her husband. All her loyalties were with the criminal people. Whenever a guest came to the house, she would secretly signal to those criminals. At the time of migration, Sayyiduna Lutؑ was given special instructions that she would not go with you. Rather, her fate would be the same as that of the criminals.
