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.
139. That which these people are engaged in (idol worship) is bound [135] to be destroyed, and all that they are doing is utterly false.
[135] That is, my very mission is to destroy such idols and to eliminate such worshippers of falsehood, and here you are asking me to make an idol for you. Allah has not granted you superiority so that you would prostrate before something inferior to yourselves and made by your own hands, so do not utter such ignorant words.
