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.

12. For which day have these matters been postponed [7]?

[7] The disbelievers kept demanding the punishment and the Day of Resurrection to come quickly, but Allah, paying no heed to their demands, delayed the occurrence of that day as much as had already been determined by Him according to His own estimation. And when that appointed time or day arrived, then further delay became impossible.
