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.
28. Allah wants to lighten (the burdens of customs and restrictions) for you, for mankind was created weak [47].

Consideration of Human Weaknesses in Legal Rulings:
That is, in giving these rulings, it has been taken into account that man is inherently weak, therefore, these rulings have been made with consideration for human ease and capacity. For example, since a person cannot control his desires, he has been permitted to marry up to four wives, and this has been made easy by keeping conveniences in view. Likewise, all the rulings of Shariah have been established with moderation in mind, and concessions have also been provided for the weaker members of society.
