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.
27. And his companion [33] will say, "Our Lord! I did not make him rebellious, but he himself was deeply astray."
[33] By "this companion" is meant, most likely, that satanic companion who used to be with him in the world or was imposed upon him. He will present his defense in the Divine Court, saying that he had no such power that he could make him rebellious against You and Your Messenger. All that happened was that he cast a whisper into his heart, and he was already a criminal at heart. He immediately responded to his call. The satanic whisper was as if it were the voice of his own heart. Therefore, he himself kept advancing in the works of misguidance.
