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.
39. Then if you have any plot, try it against Me [23].
[23] That is, in the world you used to devise thousands of schemes to block My path. You would create doubts and suspicions in people's minds. You would inflict pain and suffering upon My followers and glare at them as if you would devour them alive. You would humiliate them, mock them, and even deprive them of their right to live. Even today, try to devise any plan against Me. Now, all of you, the former and the latter, are gathered in this field. All together, display your strength or carefully devise a conspiracy and see if any of your schemes can save you from the destruction of this Day.
