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.
This is indeed an unfair division [13].
[13] It is as if the polytheists of Arabia committed a double injustice. Firstly, they attributed offspring to Allah and considered them as partners of Allah. Secondly, even the partners they ascribed were those whom they declared to be Allah’s daughters, while for themselves they absolutely did not like daughters. In fact, they would bury them alive.
