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.
3. But when they measure or weigh for others, they give less [3].
[3] That is, the fundamental reason for being involved in the crime of giving others less than their due or taking more than one's own right is that these people neither have faith in the Day of the Hereafter nor in being presented before Allah for accountability of their deeds. If they had faith in this reckoning, they would never commit such ill-intentioned and self-serving acts.
