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.
So believe in Allah and His Messenger, and in the Light (the Qur’an) which We have sent down [16]. And Allah is fully aware of all that you do.
[16] That is, the Quran is such a book by whose light you become aware of the conditions of previous nations, for which you had no means of knowing correctly. Then, it provides you complete guidance in your present circumstances and gives you such instructions for every aspect of life, by which you can avoid a life of turmoil, mischief, and insecurity, and instead lead a life of peace and contentment. Furthermore, it fully informs you about the conditions after your death, even though there was no means of knowledge for these matters, nor could human intellect reach such information. Therefore, value this light, consider it a blessing, and become fully obedient to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
