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.
Which of you is afflicted with madness [6].
[6] That is, this is something whose result will appear very soon. A person who gives a command, his command is based on goodness and virtue, then he himself is the first to act upon that command. He naturally abhors every evil deed. Even in the case of revenge, he is not ready to adopt any bad action. Generosity and magnanimity are deeply ingrained in his nature. In contrast, those who oppose him can think of nothing but taunt and reproach, causing harm, and acts of retaliation. Whatever they think, they think out of malice and enmity, and with the intention of uprooting others. Therefore, there is no reason why the end of both should not come face to face very soon. At that time, everyone will know who was committing acts of madness and insanity.
