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.
6. So do not pay attention to them [6]. The Day when the caller will call towards something dreadful [7].
[6] That is, leave them to their own state and do not waste your time in the hope of guiding such stubborn people. These people will not believe until they see the punishment.
[7] One meaning of "nukr" is "disagreeable," which has been adopted in the translation, and its other meaning is "unknown" or "strange thing," that is, when they are called for reckoning, this matter will be completely novel for them, something they had never imagined—that they would be resurrected in this way and presented for accountability.
