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 they say, "When we are lost in the earth, shall we indeed be created anew?" In fact, they are deniers of the meeting [11] with their Lord.

The Real Reason for Man’s Denial of the Day of Resurrection:
That is, if a person reflects, he can easily understand that the same Allah Who first created man from the elements of clay, why can He not create them again from those same elements of clay? According to current research, all the elements that make up a human being are found in the earth itself. If Allah created the first human by combining these elements, then those elements are still present in the earth. Then, what meaning does the objection of those people hold, “When we have mingled with the earth and become dust, will we be created anew?” The real issue is not that man cannot understand this simple matter, but in reality, these people are apprehensive and evasive about being presented before Allah and being held accountable for their deeds in the Hereafter. And since this concept imposes restrictions on their free lifestyle and desires of the self, they begin to invent such unreasonable objections.
