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.
Indeed, with every hardship there is ease [4].
[4] In these two verses, you are repeatedly assured that if you are currently surrounded by difficulties, soon these clouds of hardship will disperse and you will be granted just as much ease and relief. In this verse, it is not said that ease comes after hardship, but rather that ease is with hardship. This means that the situation is about to change very soon. In this way, both you ﷺ and the Muslims are comforted, being told to endure this difficult time with patience and perseverance, for very soon the situation will be completely transformed.
