فَهَلْ يَنتَظِرُونَ إِلَّا مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ ﴿102﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

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.
102. Are they waiting for anything except the days (of punishment) like those that came to those before them? Say: “Then wait; I too am waiting with you [110].”
[110] Such people are not willing to believe until they see their own death before them in the form of punishment. Taking a lesson from the fate of previous nations is out of the question for them, because they seek material explanations even for such outcomes. Therefore, trying to make such people understand also proves futile. The only appropriate response for such people is: “You too wait, and I also wait,” until Allah Himself creates such a situation for decision between us and you, by which everyone will know who among the two parties is upon the truth and who is upon falsehood. And such a decision usually comes in the form of divine punishment upon the deniers of the truth.
