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.
15. Even though he may offer many excuses [11].
[11] That is, this written record of deeds will be placed before the human being only so that the requirements of justice may be fulfilled. Otherwise, the reality is that a person is fully aware of the good or bad deeds he has done. And the excuses he invents are merely because a person is absolutely unwilling to admit his own fault. He can make up dozens of things, create excuses, but admitting his fault wounds his ego, and he considers it tantamount to death. This is his condition in the world as well, and in the Hereafter too, some habitual criminals will try to make such excuses.
