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.
57. And had it not been for the favor of my Lord upon me, I too would have been among those brought forth (like the criminals) [33].
[33] When the narrator of the story will look towards Hell, he will see his companion lying in the very midst of Hell. At that moment, he will say to him: "O wretched one! If I had listened to you, you would have dragged me down with you, and my fate would have been the same as yours. It is only Allah's special mercy upon me that I did not fall for your deception and was saved from this punishment, otherwise you left no stone unturned in trying to mislead me."
