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.
30. But you cannot will except as Allah wills [33]. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
[33] That is, your will and your desire are only what Allah already knows beforehand. And Allah’s knowledge of this does not compel a person to do only what is already in Allah’s knowledge. For clarification, see the footnote number 21 of verse 24 of Surah Al-A'raf.
