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.
2. (He) taught the Quran [1].
[1] That is, it is only the result of Allah's mercy and kindness that He taught youﷺ such a magnificent and exalted Book as the Quran, which is a source of guidance for all of humanity, and by acting upon its guidance, a person's worldly life as well as the Hereafter can be improved. Its second meaning is that it is Allah alone who taught you the Quran; no one else taught you, as one of the objections of the disbelievers of Makkah regarding the Quran was that a non-Arab teaches it to him, and then this person recites it to us attributing it to Allah.
