سُوْرَةُ الزُّخْرُفِ
Surah Az-Zukhruf (43) — Ayah 61
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَٱتَّبِعُونِ ۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ ﴿61﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And he [‘Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)] shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [i.e. ‘Isâ’s (Jesus) descent on the earth]. Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allâh) (i.e. be obedient to Allâh and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islâmic Monotheism, leading to Allâh and to His Paradise).

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.
61. And indeed, he (Jesus) is a sign of the Hour [60]. So do not doubt it, and follow Me—this is the straight path.
[60] That is, the birth of Sayyiduna ‘Isa ؑ and his first coming into the world was a sign specifically for the Children of Israel, and his second coming will be a sign of the Hour. With his descent, people will know that the Hour is now very near. Most commentators have taken this as the meaning of this verse. And countless authentic ahadith also support the descent of Sayyiduna ‘Isa ؑ from the heavens, which will occur very close to the Hour. However, it can also be understood from this that the fatherless birth of Sayyiduna ‘Isa ؑ and the miracles granted to him can themselves be signs of the Hour. That is, the Being who, departing from the usual way, can create someone without a father and grant him astonishing miracles, certainly has the power to establish the Hour as well. This meaning seems correct only in the sense that there is nothing in this verse that specifically indicates the second coming of Sayyiduna ‘Isa ؑ or the descent of the Messiah.
