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.

The Accusations of the Quraysh Against You Regarding the Quran:
Among their accusations was also this: that he has himself authored the Quran and then attributes it to Allah. And sometimes they would say that he learns the Quran from some non-Arab scholar and then recites it to us, claiming that it is the word of Allah. While making this accusation, they did not even feel ashamed that the person who, throughout his life, never lied to anyone, never accused anyone, never deceived anyone—could he ever attribute such a lie to Allah? Then they also did not consider that they used to hear his speech even before prophethood, and after prophethood, he does not only recite the word of Allah but also says many other things. So do they not perceive any difference between his own speech and the speech of Allah? The real matter is that their intellects do function properly, but there is corruption in their intentions, due to which they have resolved that they will not believe at any cost.
