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.
33. The Day when you will turn your backs and flee, but there will be no one to protect you from Allah [47]. And whomever Allah leads astray, there is no guide for him.
[47] This could refer to the Day of Resurrection, or to the day when punishment descends upon a nation. But at that time, even if someone wants to turn their back and flee, they will never be able to escape Allah's grasp.
