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.
Now tell (us), is this magic [11], or do you not see?
[11] That is, when you were warned in the world about your evil end and it was said to you that you will be resurrected after death, then you will be questioned and held accountable, and then you will be punished for your evil deeds, you used to say that this is just sorcery. Now tell, is this magic or reality? Or just as you could not see any reality in the world, even today you do not see that this is the recompense for your own deeds.
