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.
What is the matter with you that you do not regard the majesty [6] of Allah?
[6] That is, when you go to your minor chiefs and leaders, you go with great formality. And even after reaching there, you are careful not to commit any act against etiquette. But you have considered Allah to be so insignificant that you rebel against Him. You disobey Him, associate others with Him in His divinity, and you do not feel the slightest shame. Nor do you fear that He has the power to punish us for these sins at any moment.
