Here Allah tells us of His justice, and that He is far above mere play, folly
and falsehood. This is like the Ayah:
[وَمَا خَلَقْنَا
السَّمَآءَ وَالاٌّرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـطِلاً ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ النَّارِ ]
(And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them
without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to
those who disbelieve from the Fire!) (38:27)
[أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ
أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَـكُمْ عَبَثاً وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لاَ تُرْجَعُونَ -
فَتَعَـلَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ
الْكَرِيمِ ]
(Did you think that We had created you in play, and that you would not be
brought back to Us So Exalted be Allah, the True King: La ilaha illa Huwa, the
Lord of the Supreme Throne!) (23:115-116) Then Allah says:
[إِنَّ يَوْمَ
الْفَصْلِ مِيقَـتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ]
(Verily, the Day of Judgement is the time appointed for all of them) This is
the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will judge between all creatures, and He
will punish the disbelievers and reward the believers.
[مِيقَـتُهُمْ
أَجْمَعِينَ]
(is the time appointed for all of them) means, He will gather all of them,
the first and the last of them.
[يَوْمَ لاَ يُغْنِى
مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئاً]
(The Day when a near relative cannot avail a near relative in aught,) means,
no relative will be able to help another relative. This is like the Ayah:
[فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى
الصُّورِ فَلاَ أَنسَـبَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلاَ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ]
(Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that
Day, nor will they ask of one another.) (23:101)
[وَلاَ يَسْـَلُ
حَمِيمٌ حَمِيماً يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ]
(And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition). Though they shall be
made to see one another) (70:10-11) which means, he will not ask his brother
about how he is, even though he can see him with his own eyes.
[وَلاَ هُمْ
يُنصَرُونَ]
(and no help can they receive,) means, no relative will help another, and no
help will come to him from outside.
[إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ
اللَّهُ]
(Except him on whom Allah has mercy.) means, and nothing will be of any avail
that Day except the mercy of Allah towards His creation.
[إِنَّهُ هُوَ
الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ]
(Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.) means, he is the Almighty,
with immense mercy.
[إِنَّ شَجَرَةَ
الزَّقُّومِ - طَعَامُ الاٌّثِيمِ - كَالْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى الْبُطُونِ - كَغَلْىِ
الْحَمِيمِ - خُذُوهُ فَاعْتِلُوهُ إِلَى سَوَآءِ الْجَحِيمِ - ثُمَّ صُبُّواْ
فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِيمِ - ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ
الْكَرِيمُ - إِنَّ هَـذَا مَا كُنتُمْ بِهِ تَمْتَرُونَ ]
(43. Verily, the tree of Zaqqum) (44. Will be the food of the sinners.) (45.
Like boiling oil, it will boil in the bellies,) (46. Like the boiling of
scalding water.) (47. (It will be said:) "Seize him and drag him into the midst
of blazing Fire,'') (48. "Then pour over his head the torment of boiling
water.'') (49. "Taste you (this)! Verily, you were (pretending to be) the
mighty, the generous.'') (50. "Verily, this is that whereof you used to
doubt!'')
