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.
29. Say to them: "On the Day of Decision, the faith of those who disbelieved [30] will not benefit them, nor will they be granted any respite."
[30] That is, the disbelievers always ask: this punishment that is promised to us, or the glad tidings of help and victory given to the believers—why is no fixed time specified for such promises? And specifying such a fixed time is contrary to divine wisdom. Therefore, in response to such questions, the attention of the disbelievers is directed to other aspects that form the basis for action. And this is the true purpose of the Quran. Here too, the answer to this question is given in the same manner: consider the respite you currently have as a blessing, for when the Day of Decision arrives, neither will your acceptance of Islam be of any benefit, nor will you be granted any further respite. You will not have the opportunity to recover, so stop being anxious for it. However, if you can think about what is beneficial for you, then do so.
