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.
And by the ten nights [2].
[2] Some commentators have taken the ten nights to mean the last ten nights of Ramadan, in which is Laylat al-Qadr, and some commentators have taken the "fajr" not as the general dawn, but as the dawn of the Day of Sacrifice or Eid al-Adha, and the ten nights to mean the nights from the 1st to the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah. Both sets of ten nights are highly virtuous and important in their own respective ways.
