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.

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.

Two Types of Evidence for the Establishment of a Claim: Eyewitness Testimony and Transmitted Proof:
To establish any claim, only two types of evidence can be used. One is eyewitness testimony, regarding which Allah Almighty asked the polytheists of Arabia: When We created the angels, were you present at that time and did you see that they were created as females? Obviously, the polytheists of Arabia had no answer to this, and the reality is that there is no distinction of male or female among the angels. The second type of evidence can be transmitted proof, meaning that it is written in some heavenly book that Allah Almighty created the angels as females and that they are His daughters. If the polytheists of Arabia cannot present any such writing, then it clearly means that their beliefs are fabricated, baseless, and false.
