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.
And that we have come to know that we cannot escape Allah on earth, nor can we escape Him by fleeing.
[9] That is, now our well-being lies only in accepting the Quran without any objection or hesitation. If we do not accept the Quran, we cannot escape Allah’s punishment—neither by hiding anywhere on earth, nor by running here and there, nor by flying in the air.
