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.
2. (That is) a Messenger from Allah, reciting to them purified scriptures [4],

The Proofs of Your Prophethood:
That clear and manifest proof is the noble Messenger of Allah Himself. He is, in his own person, a proof of his prophethood. He does not require any other evidence. His entire life, his truthfulness and honesty, are themselves proof that if he claims to be the Messenger of Allah, then indeed he is the Messenger of Allah. Furthermore, the Quran which he recites to the People of the Book and the polytheists, and recites despite being unlettered, and presents such miraculous speech—reciting the verses of such a Quran is itself the greatest proof of his prophethood, for despite being unlettered, he presents such speech that the eloquent and articulate among the Arabs were all rendered helpless to produce anything like it. ﴿صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرةً﴾ has two meanings, and both are correct. One is that the Quran he presents is free from all kinds of distortion, addition, alteration, or omission. It is also free from any human interference, whereas the books of the People of the Book contain distortions, human additions, and omissions. The second meaning is that the teachings of the Quran are extremely pure; it does not tarnish the character of any prophet, whereas the People of the Book have leveled heinous accusations against the character of some prophets, but the Quran absolves them of these.
