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.
Allah said, "You are granted respite [13]."

The Intentions of Iblis:
Since Satan was cast out from the Divine Presence for not prostrating to Sayyiduna Adam ؑ, he became an enemy of Sayyiduna Adam ؑ. He did not feel any remorse for his own fault and considered Sayyiduna Adam ؑ to be the real cause of the punishment for his sins. He asked Allah for respite until the Day of Judgment and also requested the authority to mislead and tempt Adam ؑ and his progeny, and Allah granted him this authority. During this period, by misleading and leading astray Sayyiduna Adam ؑ and his progeny, he wanted to prove that man is in fact not worthy of earthly vicegerency, and that he was right in not prostrating to him in this matter.
