ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ شُعَيْبًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا۟ فِيهَا ۚ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ شُعَيْبًا كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ﴿92﴾

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.
92. Those who denied Shu‘aybؑ became as if they had never lived there [98]. Those who denied Shu‘ayb were the ones who ultimately lost.
[98] After this punishment, their settlements became so desolate and deserted as if people had never lived there at all. These were the very people who had threatened Shu‘ayb ؑ that they would expel him and his companions from there, or else he would have to adopt their religion. Such was the outcome of denying Allah’s Messenger and His signs: those who issued threats themselves were destroyed and annihilated.
