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.
81. So do you treat this discourse [38] with indifference?
[38] ﴿مُدْهِنُوْنَ﴾ ﴿دُهْنٌ﴾ means oil, fat, grease, and ﴿اَدْهَنَ﴾ means to soften something by applying oil. Mudāhanat has several meanings, such as adopting flexibility in a matter, becoming lax, adopting a hypocritical attitude, or not considering something worthy of serious attention. That is, O disbelievers of Makkah! Your attitude towards a book as exalted as the Quran is that you do not give it any importance.
