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.
5. Should We, turning away from you, withhold this Reminder from you just because you are a transgressing people [5]?
[5] That is, O disbelievers of Makkah! If you do not refrain from your mischiefs, mocking the verses of the Quran, sometimes calling it tales of the ancients, sometimes calling it the speech of men—then, because of such mischiefs of yours, should We abandon the task of guiding creation and stop the revelation of the Quran? In any case, there are two benefits being achieved from its revelation: firstly, many blessed souls are benefiting from it, and secondly, the proof is being established against you people.
