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.
So remind, if the reminder benefits [8].
[8] That is, when you see that your admonition is benefiting people, then keep admonishing such people repeatedly. And those who react negatively to admonition, start mocking, or become oppositional, then refrain from admonishing such people. It should be clear that da'wah (invitation and propagation) is one thing, and admonition and advice is another. The responsibility of the Prophet is to convey Allah’s message to all people, whether they accept it or take offense. But admonition and advice are only for those who are ready to benefit from them, not for everyone. Rather, only for the one who has some fear of Allah in his heart, and for the one who does not fear at all, admonition and advice have no meaning.
