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.
55. And the disbelievers will remain in doubt about it until the Hour comes upon them suddenly, or there comes upon them the punishment of a disastrous day [84].
[84] That is, the condition of these stubborn disbelievers is such that they can only be set right after being severely punished; before that, they will not accept. Either their doubt will be removed when they see the Day of Resurrection, when all realities will be seen with their own eyes, or when they see the wretched day of Allah’s punishment, from which there will be no way for them to escape, nor will they be granted another day after that.
