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.
Then We gave Moses a Book, complete for those who would do good, and containing detailed explanation of every (necessary) thing [176.1]. It was a guidance and a mercy, so that perhaps they would believe in the meeting with their Lord [177].
[176۔ 1] From this it is clear that the Old Testament found in the Bible today, which is referred to as the Torah, is not the same Torah that was revealed to Musa ؑ. Because that Torah was lost twice and rewritten anew, then additional material was included in it and alterations were made. And the Torah that was revealed to Musa ؑ left nothing lacking for the guidance of righteous people. It was complete in every respect regarding moral, civil, social, and economic commandments, and its prominent quality was that it firmly established faith in the Hereafter.
[177]
Comparison of the Life of One Who Has Faith in the Hereafter and One Who Does Not:
Meeting with the Lord means the concept of being answerable for one's deeds in the presence of Allah. This is the very concept that can change the direction of a person's life. The life of a person who does not have faith in the Hereafter can be extremely unrestrained, irresponsible, and even savage. It is precisely the concept of accountability before Allah in the Hereafter that binds a person to obey divine commands and refrain from prohibitions, and compels him to live a most cautious and responsible life in this world. That is, the Children of Israel were given this Book so that its wise teachings would instill in them a sense of responsibility, and observing the lives of those who have faith in the Hereafter and those who do not would draw them from denial to faith.
