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.
These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then, after Allah and His verses, in what statement will they believe [8]?
[8] That is, the signs of Allah are those which have been mentioned above. This system of the universe, the creation of living beings from lifeless things, the alternation of night and day, the descent of sustenance for all creatures from the sky, the direction and changes of the winds—all these are signs of Allah alone. Now, if you do not believe in these, then is there any other being whose signs are greater than these, and you wish to believe in that being’s signs and words instead of Allah’s? If, in your opinion, there is such a being, then why do you not point it out?
