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.
24. (These people will not desist from their ways) until they see (the punishment) which they are promised. Then soon they will know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number [22].
[22] These polytheists who are crowding together today think that these Muslims have no real standing. They believe that by gathering against them, they can easily overawe them. But soon a time will come when they will know which party is fewer in number and has fewer helpers. This time could be the day of the conquest of Makkah, and as for the Day of Resurrection, that is absolutely certain.
