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.

Enter it! Whether you endure patiently or not, it is all the same for you. You will only be repaid for what you used to do [12].

[12] In the world, you had decided that no matter what happens, we will never accept this call to truth, and then you remained stubborn upon this obstinacy. In the same way, there will be no reduction in your punishment; whether you scream and cry or bear the punishment with patience, it will make no difference.
