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.
76. And We did not wrong them, but it was they [71] who were the wrongdoers.
[71] That is, We had fully and timely warned them to save them from such punishment. And nothing was left lacking in this. They were also given intellect to understand. Messengers were sent to them, and the Book of guidance as well. In this way, We completed the argument against them in every way. Yet, if they did not try to avoid the punishment, then what fault is ours in this? The fault is entirely their own.
