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.
54. Listen! These people are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord [73], and listen! Allah encompasses everything.
[73] That is, the real reason behind the mischief and wickedness of the disbelievers is that they neither believe in the Hereafter nor in the concept of accountability before Allah. If they had this conviction, they would never behave in such a manner. But they do not understand how they are completely surrounded and helpless within the grasp of Allah's power, and that they cannot escape from His hold anywhere.
