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.
11. These are the ones who are brought near [7].
[7] That is, those who excel and surpass others in believing in the prophets, in the battle between truth and falsehood alongside them, in enduring hardships, and in every good and virtuous deed, their rank is, in any case, higher than that of ordinary righteous believers. Therefore, these very people will be among the ones brought near to Allah. In the court of Allah, these people will be at the forefront before Allah, then after them will be the righteous believers on the right side, and on the left side will be the disbelievers, polytheists, rebellious and arrogant ones, that is, the people of Hell.
