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.

Which House is the Bayt al-Ma'mur?
That is, the house that is always inhabited. By this is meant the Ka'bah, which is always filled with those performing Hajj, Umrah, Tawaf, and worship, and is never empty. Also, it refers to the place of worship of the angels on the seventh heaven, which is located exactly in line with the Ka'bah. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taken on the Night Journey (Mi'raj) to tour the heavens, he saw Sayyiduna Ibrahim ؑ reclining against the wall of this very house.
