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.
O my people! Why is it that I invite you to salvation [54], while you invite me to the Fire?
[54]
The Speech of the Believing Man:
This is the path of your goodness, well-wishing, and salvation: that you believe in the Messenger of Allah and perform righteous deeds. The path of goodness is not that you not only reject the Messenger’s call but even intend to kill him. This is not the path of goodness; rather, it is the path to Hell.
