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.
30. (O Prophet!) Surely, you will die [46], and they too will die.
[46] The disbelievers of Makkah would often wish that if this Prophet were to die, all disputes would come to an end. In this verse, a very serious response is given to their evil wish, addressing the Prophet himself and saying: If death comes to you, can they escape death? Then who knows who will die first? As far as the coming of death is concerned, all are equal, but the real point to ponder is: whose end will be good after death, and who will be seized as a consequence of their rebellion.
