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.
53. The path of Allah [77], to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Be aware! All matters return to Allah [78].
[77] That is, the path which this Quran shows and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ guides towards, is the very path of that Allah who is the Sovereign of the universe. By walking on this path, a person reaches Allah Almighty, and whoever strays from this path, that is not the path of Allah; all other paths are the paths of Satan. [78] That is, not only humans, but the outcome of their deeds and actions and all other matters are in the hands of Allah alone. Therefore, a person should, with full consciousness and awareness, choose the path in this world that leads straight to the court of Allah.
