وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَىٰ رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ﴿125﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

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.
125. But as for those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy), it has only added impurity [144] to their former impurity, and they will die as disbelievers.
[144]
With Every Surah, the Hypocrisy of the Hypocrites Only Increases:
In response to the question of the hypocrites, Allah Almighty said that for those whose hearts already contain faith, this surah certainly becomes a cause for the increase of their faith. But for those whose hearts already contain the filth of hypocrisy, this surah adds yet another layer of filth to their impurity, so that every surah only adds to the heap of their impurity until death comes to them. And its example is exactly like the rain that descends from the sky as a mercy from Allah. Now, the good and fertile land flourishes with this rain, but the filthy or barren land will not produce anything, and if it does, it will only be weeds and thorns.
