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.

Allah has prescribed for you the dissolution of your (unlawful) oaths [2]. Allah is your Protector, and He is the All-Knowing, the Wise [3].

[2] The detailed mention of the expiation for oaths has already passed under verse 89 of Surah Al-Ma'idah. The meaning is that you should break the vow and oath you made regarding making a lawful thing unlawful upon yourself, by paying the expiation for the oath.

[3] That is, Allah is the guardian and protector of all your affairs. The things He has prescribed are also based on His knowledge and wisdom, and those He has made unlawful are also unlawful due to His knowledge and wisdom. Your duty is simply to obey His commands, whether you understand the wisdom behind a command or not.
