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.
23. (O Prophet!) It is We Who have gradually revealed this Qur'an to you [27].
[27] One of the objections of the disbelievers of Makkah against you ﷺ was that you ﷺ keep composing the Quran gradually and then recite it to us. If this Quran had been revealed from Allah, it would have been sent down all at once. Without quoting this objection, its answer is being given. In this verse, Allah Almighty has used three pronouns of the plural of majesty for emphasis and further emphasis: one in "Inna," the second in "Nahnu," and the third in ﴿نَزَّلْنَا﴾. With such strong emphasis, it is stated that this Quran is not authored by the Messenger, but We alone have revealed it, and We have revealed it gradually, in which there are many wisdoms. The mention of these has already occurred at several places in the Quran.
