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.
And if you ask them who created them, they will surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded [79]?
[79] That is, they admit the premise of the argument but deny its logical conclusion. In essence, the question is: your idols neither created you nor possess the power to benefit or harm you, so how did they become worthy of your worship? Where does this deception come from, that the One who created you and fulfills your needs is Allah, yet you begin to worship others instead of Allah?
