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 this secure city [4] (Makkah).
[4] ﴿البلد الامين﴾ refers to the city of Makkah the Magnificent, where, after the flood of Nuh, Ibrahim and Ismail (peace be upon them) together rebuilt the Ka'bah, and where Ismail (peace be upon him) spent his entire life. It is also the place where the best of the Prophets, the Last Prophet, was born. Here he ﷺ was granted prophethood and spent thirteen years after prophethood in this very place. It was for this very location that our master Ibrahim (peace be upon him) prayed to Allah Almighty to make this city honorable and a place of peace. Even after two and a half thousand years, the sanctity of this city has remained intact. Throughout Arabia, looting and bloodshed were rampant everywhere. Only this one place provided people with peace, and the sanctity of Makkah remains to this day and will continue to remain in the future.
