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.
Do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from among yourselves, so that he may warn you, and so that you may become righteous and receive mercy? [66]
[66] It appears that, in response to the call of the Prophets, the deniers have always raised similar objections. Among such objections is this: how can you, being men like us, be messengers of Allah? Although this objection has not been answered at this place, at many other places its answer has been given: that there is no other possible way for the guidance of mankind except that a messenger be sent from among themselves, who can convey Allah’s message to them in their own language.
