Allowing is different then causing.  One involves freewill and the other is just evil.  Maybe it is a language thing.  
 
This is nonsensical. First off you must define the Arabic word for "increase" before we get into this entire problem in the first place. unfortunately, Arabic is not english where certain words have one definition. I made the mistake of not clarifying this earlier. Perhaps someone with some knowledge of Arabic can examine this verse and translate it correctly.

Mashallah  Seekhidayath�Clap

When you read the Quran, you feel like Allah is talking to you and indeed He is directly talking to you..Sobhanallah!!

And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. Quran33:59

Believer, you can not compare Quran and Bible because they are poles apart.  Quran is the authentic words of Allah which is perfect and flawless, while the Bible contains the words of a third party, mostly historians, and it is full of contradictions from the Old Testament down to New Testament.

The tafseer of the Quran are not being relied to personal opinion or what you call �divine inspiration� by praying that the Holy Spirit will enlighten you (only during the time you are reading the passages of the bible). Muslim doesn�t rely on the so called divine inspiration for who knows that inspiration might come from Satan and cloth with Satan�s inspiring words. If we do such, each and everyone would have their own inspirations and you know well the outcome�CHAOTIC!

As I said before, the Quran are being explained by the Quran itself and some explanations can be found in the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh). Muslim is always praying for guidance every time we make an audience with Allah (in our prayers) and we do that 5 times a day and not just during the time that we read the Quran.

The Christianity believe that the living word of God is Jesus (pbuh) as what John the evangelist said which is difficult and mystical on the surface and is much more plain-spoken than we realize.

John is saying that Jesus is the words of the Bible come to life as an ordinary human being, so that people might see the Bible lived out in ordinary daily living, and so that everyone can experience the Bible in everyday terms. John 1:10-18

Jesus is the one that was sent by Allah to deliver Allah�s Messages (commands) to mankind through HIS revelations that can be found in the ORIGINAL Gospel of Jesus, to guide mankind on how to meet the pleasure of Allah in their daily affairs. This means that Jesus is just His Messenger and not the son of god. Allah spoke through Jesus His Messenger and not His son for Allah is not human and Jesus (pbuh) is the son of Mary, a human being like us.

Islam is not just a religion as most people believe it to be, but it is a complete way of life. Islam is very logic and do not entertain superstitious belief, do not accept reasoning that comes from a mere figment of imagination--> a DELUSION. Islam is the true way of life, a path that is acceptable to Allah, the Creator of all that exists�amen.

And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. Quran33:59

You  know  "Believer", the wonders of Quran and how we get touched by it.

Even when we don't understand arabic, tears flow while listening to its recitation. Just imagine what would be our situation when we reflect over a verse.

Its style softens even hard-hearts.

Whoever studies Quran cannot remain unreflected.

All these happens only when we seek for guidance from it.

It enlightens even those who wished to attack over it. They cud not stay unreflected by it

Every verse is so deep that more we read it, the more we get enlightened. Quran is unique in almost every respect , in its Divine  Origin, its style and methodology , its chronological descent , and its approach to the problems  of man and society. It does not relate to just one class of society or just subject but pleases all of us. Any person when recites and studies it, feels as if it is addressing only to him. It answers all of our questions, it soothes us when depressed, it cures us, it infact applies to all our phases of life. Any preconceived notions and prejuidices will cause the spirit of Quran  to elude the reader. A single reading may be enough for a superficial acquaintance but to grasp its real sense it will have to gone again and again. It is the uniqueness of Quran that even when we read a verse "n" number of times, still we feel refreshed and experience novelties in it. That is the speciality of the Quran  that today  even when it is unchanged since 1400 years, still , it remains new to us.

I remember reading its somewhere that  when the Bible discusses ancient history, it states that this king lived here, this one fought in a certain battle, another one had so may sons, etc. Yet it always stipulates that if you want more information, then you should read the book of so and so because that is where the information came from. In contrast to this concept, the Qur'an provides the reader with information and states that this information is something new. Of course, there always exists the advice to research the information provided and verify its authenticity. One may not specialise in all the subjects. I may go to a geologist  to understand a verse which concerns of geology. Allah swt says in the Quran to ask those who know , when we do not know. So do we head towards commentaries as that studies are accumulated. And the more we read it, the more we get enlightened.  We do pray Allah swt, to give us its understanding and help us in implementing in our lives.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

My question should have read- Do Quran only Muslims use the tafseer, commentaries?

Here is a big difference between Quran and Holy Bible.  To understand different passages we pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten us.  At different times of our life it is possible to gain different understanding of the very same verses and chapters, basically GOD gives us what we need at the time.  The Living Word of GOD
 
Have you ever heard that expression?  Does the Quran do this for Muslims?
John 3
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Quran in itself is very concentrated stuff you have to dilute it in order to understand and get the full picture of it. You do that by going to the tafseer of the verses to understand and get the bigger picture. The verses were revealed with reasons. We should know when the verse was revealed and what was the occasion and why it was revealed, only then can one reach the depth and understand what ALLAH is telling us and you can see it in the tafseer.

The method of tafseer is to explain the Quran with the Quran itself. What is being mentioned in one verse is usually explained in another verse. Other source of explanation can be found in the hadith of the Prophet for the hadith elaborate more about the verses. Tafseer by mere opinion is prohibited as what the Prophet said:

�Whoever explains the Quran with his opinion or with what he has no knowledge of, then let him assume his seat in the Fire.� � Tirmidhi, An-Nasai and Abu Dawud

Quran is for everyone, Muslim or not because it is the Word of our Creator and we are all His creation and we are all entitled to know what He commanded us.

And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. Quran33:59

Do Muslims need the Tafseer on just parts or the whole Quran?  Do all Muslims use these- Quran only Muslims?  I know they don't use hadith but do they use the commentary? 
 
Am sorry for the misconception. Commentary also includes hadiths. To understand the Holy verses, we are to go thru commentaries. I did not understand your question -   Do all Muslims use these- Quran only Muslims?
