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.

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.

Muslims Who Obstruct the Path of Islam:
In this verse, another category of wrongdoers is mentioned, and such people are found in every community; for example, among Muslims as well, there are those who claim to be Muslims but say that the limits set by Islam are barbaric punishments. In today's era, it is impossible to implement them. Islam, by commanding women to stay in their homes, has made them prisoners. The era of the permissibility of slave girls and slaves has passed. Islam, in its own time, was a living movement, but today this system has become outdated and cannot keep up with the times. They import their political system from others and take their economic system from others as well, and say that in today's era, our economy cannot function without interest. All these statements are about obstructing the path of Islam and creating deviation in its straight path, and the reality is that such people do not believe in the Hereafter and in accountability before Allah, otherwise how could they say such things?
