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. So be patient according to the command of your Lord, and do not obey any sinner [28] or ungrateful one among them.
[28] Some disbelievers were those who were raising various kinds of objections against the Quran and your ﷺ prophethood, and some were those who, by offering temptations, wanted to pave the way for compromise and conciliation. Among them, the name of Utbah bin Rabi'ah is especially noteworthy, who said to you ﷺ that if you ﷺ desire the leadership of Makkah, or wealth and riches, or marriage to a beautiful woman, we will grant you whatever you wish, provided you desist from this work which has caused division among close relatives. Allah Almighty advised His beloved Messenger not to accept any of their proposals, nor to get entangled in arguments with them. Be patient, and continue your work with patience. Do not lose sight of your goal.
