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.
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies [1] Allah—the Sovereign, the Most Holy [2], the Almighty, the All-Wise.
[1] This tasbih is done with the tongue of speech as well, but we cannot understand it, and also with the tongue of state. That is, every single thing in the universe bears witness to the fact that its Creator is free from all kinds of faults and deficiencies.
[2] For the explanation of these attributes, see verse number 23 of Surah Al-Hashr.
