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.
But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakat, then they are your brothers in religion [10]. And We explain the verses in detail for a people who know.

That is, now their wealth and their lives have become safe from your hands. And in this verse, it is stated that if they fulfill all three conditions, then not only will their lives and wealth be protected, but they will also become a member of the Islamic community, and they will receive all the civil, social, legal, and economic rights in the same way as other Muslims receive them.
