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.
Or do they think that We do not hear their secrets and their private counsels? Yes indeed, and Our angels [75] are with them, recording everything.
[75] The real reason for the failure of their secret schemes was that what they considered to be secret was not hidden at all. We are always seeing and hearing all their secret consultations, mutual conversations, and conspiracies. Then Our angels also record all of this, which We will present before them on the Day of Resurrection.
