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.

The Martyrdom of the Truthful Man:
The people were merely issuing threats in response to the messengers’ call, and perhaps they were also afraid that if these really were messengers, some calamity might befall them. But when this truthful man, in a sincere manner, made all the flaws of their deities clear to them, they considered it an insult to themselves and their gods, and an act of disrespect towards their honor, so they immediately killed him. And as soon as he was killed, the angels gave him the glad tidings that Paradise awaits you—enter it. This was because he was a true martyr and had given his life for the sake of Allah’s religion. And regarding martyrs, it is explicitly mentioned in the Quran and authentic hadiths that martyrs go directly to Paradise and are provided sustenance there. Their souls, in the form of green birds, chirp and roam about in the gardens of Paradise.
