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.

6. Either as an excuse or as a warning [3].

[3] ﴿عُذْرًا اَوْ نُذْرًا﴾ is related only to the previous verse. That is, one benefit of revelation in the heart of the prophet or inspiration and suggestion in the hearts of people is that they will have no excuse left before Allah for their misguidance, and the proof will be completed against them, so that at the time of punishment they cannot say that they had not been informed beforehand. And the second benefit is only for those who fear Allah without seeing Him and, fearing their bad end, become obedient to Allah.
