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.
This (Quran) is a source of insight for mankind, and a guidance and mercy [28] for those who have sure faith.
[28] How is the Quran a mercy for all people?
That is, in this Quran, enlightening proofs are present for all people. But only those can benefit from these proofs who believe that this Quran is revealed from Allah. Then, those who benefit from it, this Book provides them with complete guidance on how to live life in this world. By acting upon this way of life, a person's Hereafter is also improved. This is one aspect of Allah's mercy: that He has explained the way to success and salvation in the Hereafter right here in this world. And the second aspect of Allah's mercy is that this Quran presents such appropriate and balanced principles for all human beings to live life and to remain peaceful in this world, by which the rights of all people are properly determined and no one's rights are violated. Even if human intellect experimented and stumbled for thousands of years, it could not have discovered such balanced and appropriate principles. It is Allah's special mercy upon people that He has given such guidance to people through this Quran free of cost.
