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.
29. And (on the Day of Judgment) the disbelievers will say: "Our Lord! Show us those among the jinn [36] and mankind who led us astray, so that we may trample them under our feet, so they become among the most humiliated."
[36]
The Wish of the Misguided to Trample Their Leaders Underfoot:
Here, by "jinn" is meant the devils, that is, the evil jinn who cast whispers into people's hearts. On the Day of Resurrection, when the disbelievers see their fate, they will remember those leaders, those political figures, those religious guides whom they followed and thus went astray. They will plead to Allah to show them those leaders today so that they may trample them under their feet and thus cool, to some extent, the fire of their revenge.
