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.
2. Who created and then perfected (all things) [2].
[2] That is, Allah Almighty not only created all the things in the universe, but He shaped and formed each thing according to the purpose for which it was intended, and He perfected its form in such a way that no better form was possible for it. For example, one function of the nose is that the waste from the brain is expelled through it, and this purpose could also have been achieved by placing the nose at the back of the head. However, the very thought of this is repulsive to a person. Therefore, Allah Almighty placed the nose at the front of the face so that it adds to the beauty of the face, and also so that the nose does not keep running, but a person can clean and wipe it with his hand when needed. This situation can be observed regarding each and every limb, in fact, regarding every single thing in the universe, from which it becomes clear that Allah Almighty is not only the Creator but also the ultimate Wise and Planner. It also becomes evident that the creation of the limbs is not at all the result of mere coincidences, otherwise, the combination of purpose and beauty could not even be imagined.
