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.
12. They say: "This return [9] would be a great loss!"
[9] It is mentioned at several places in the Quran that those who do not believe in the Day of Judgment will be in great loss on that day. The disbelievers used to mock such verses and say, "If we are really brought back to life, then we are doomed." And its second meaning could also be that if we are brought back to life and sent to this world again, then our land and houses would have many heirs by now. There would be many claimants to each property, and there would be nothing but disputes. In this sense, it would be a very bad bargain.
