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.

Then they will pray: "Our Lord! Give double the punishment in the Fire to the one who led us to this [61]."

[61] Then this group of followers will turn their attention away from their leaders and will appeal to their Lord, saying: "These are the people who led us astray and were the cause of our coming here into Hell. Therefore, O our Lord, give them double the punishment compared to us." But this plea of theirs will merely be a childish consolation and a way to relieve the longing of their hearts, which will be of no benefit.
