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 We sent down blessed [11] water from the sky, with which We brought forth gardens and grain for harvest.

The Sprouting of Vegetation from Rain and Resurrection After Death:

The land upon which rain fell was itself soil and dead, and the water that descended was also lifeless. However, it was blessed in the sense that when it mixed with the earth, it made the dead land come alive, and it became capable of producing living things. The crops and grains that grew in it were also alive because they grew and flourished, and this is the sign of life. Then, various kinds of trees and gardens, and especially the tall, lofty date palms were produced, in which there was life. Then, from these crops and gardens, grains, fruits, and produce were obtained. And these things were lifeless. Thus, Allah showed how He brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living, and this process continues at all times and every moment.
