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.
2. He is the One who created you; then among you is one who disbelieves [3] and among you is one who believes, and Allah sees well [4] all that you do.
[3] This verse can have several meanings. One is that Allah is the One who created you, then some among you accept this fact that indeed our Creator is Allah, while others are not even willing to accept this; they outright deny the existence of Allah, claiming that we are born and die merely under the cycle of time. The second meaning is that Allah created man upon sound natural disposition (fitrah), so that he, like all other creatures of Allah, remains obedient and submissive to Him. But some people remain firm upon this sound nature, while others, influenced by their environment, choose the paths of disbelief. This meaning is confirmed by the Prophetic saying in which he said: “Every child is born upon the (sound) fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew or a Christian (etc.)” [بخاری۔ کتاب القدر۔ باب جف القلم علیٰ علم اللّٰہ۔۔]
And the third meaning is that Allah created man with the power of will and choice, and with intellect and discernment. Now, whoever misuses these blessings granted by Allah, he sets out on the path of disbelief, and whoever uses them correctly, he is the believer.
[4] Not only does He see, but He will also reward or punish you for it. He also observes if a believer performed a good deed, how much sincerity of intention was present in it. Accordingly, He will decrease or increase his reward.
