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.
He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. [104] How could He have a child when He has no spouse? He created all things, and He is, of all things, All-Knowing.
[104] He brought the earth and the heavens into existence without any material and without any prior design or example. This refutes the materialists. And since He has no wife, therefore Allah can have neither a son nor a daughter. This refutes the Jews, Christians, and all polytheists. The Jews used to call ‘Uzair the son of Allah, the Christians called Sayyiduna ‘Isa ؑ the son of Allah, and the Arab polytheists considered the angels to be Allah’s daughters. As for the polytheists of other countries, they have invented so many sons and daughters for Allah that it is difficult to count them. They have even established entire lineages of such gods and goddesses. Whereas all these things are creations of Allah.
