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.

[3] Another favor of Allah Almighty upon man is that He granted him the power of speech, through which he can fully express what is in his heart. Furthermore, this power of speech or power of expression depends on many other faculties, such as sight, hearing, intellect and understanding, the power of discernment, and will and choice. Each of these faculties is a great blessing, and for the expression of speech, all or most of these faculties are indispensable.
