Allah states that the disbelievers shall be fuel for the Fire,
﴿يَوْمَ لاَ يَنفَعُ الظَّـلِمِينَ
مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَهُمُ الْلَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ ﴾
(The Day when their excuses will be of no profit to wrongdoers. Theirs will be the
curse, and theirs will be the evil abode (i.e. painful torment in Hell-fire).) ﴿40:52﴾.
Further, what they were granted in this life of wealth and offspring shall not avail
them with Allah, or save them from His punishment and severe torment. Similarly,
Allah said,
﴿فَلاَ تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَلُهُمْ وَلاَ
أَوْلَـدُهُمْ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِي الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا
وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَـفِرُونَ ﴾
(So let not their wealth nor their children amaze you; in reality Allah's plan is
to punish them with these things in the life of this world, and that their souls
shall depart (die) while they are disbelievers.) ﴿9:55﴾, and,
﴿لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ فِى الْبِلَـدِ - مَتَـعٌ قَلِيلٌ ثُمَّ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ
الْمِهَادُ ﴾
(Let not the free disposal (and affluence) of the disbelievers throughout the land
deceive you. A brief enjoyment; then, their ultimate abode is Hell; and worst indeed
is that place for rest.) ﴿3:196, 197﴾.
Allah said in this Ayah ﴿3:10﴾,
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ﴾
(Verily, those who disbelieve) meaning, disbelieved in Allah's Ayat, denied His
Messengers, defied His Books and did not benefit from His revelation to His Prophets,
﴿لَن تُغْنِىَ عَنْهُمْ أَمْوَلُهُمْ
وَلاَ أَوْلـدُهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَأُولَـئِكَ هُمْ وَقُودُ النَّارِ﴾
(Neither their properties nor their offspring will avail them whatsoever against
Allah; and it is they who will be fuel of the Fire.) meaning, they will be the wood
with which the Fire is kindled and fed. Similarly, Allah said,
﴿إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن
دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ﴾
(Certainly you (disbelievers) and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah,
are (but) fuel for Hell!) ﴿21:98﴾.
Allah said next,
﴿كَدَأْبِ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ﴾
(Like the Da'b of the people of Fira`wn.) Ad-Dahhak said that Ibn `Abbas said that
the Ayah means, "Like the behavior of the people of Fir`awn.'' This is the same
Tafsir of `Ikrimah, Mujahid, Abu Malik, Ad-Dahhak, and others. Other scholars said
that the Ayah means, "Like the practice, conduct, likeness of the people of Fir`awn.''
These meanings are all plausible, for the Da'b means practice, behavior, tradition
and habit. The Ayah indicates that the disbelievers will not benefit from their
wealth or offspring. Rather, they will perish and be punished. This is the same
end the people of Fir`awn and the previous nations met, those who rejected the Messengers,
the Ayat, and proofs of Allah that they were sent with.
﴿وَاللَّهُ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ﴾
(And Allah is severe in punishment.) meaning, His punishment is severe and His torment
is painful. None can escape Allah's grasp, nor does anything escape His knowledge.
Allah does what He wills and prevails over all things, it is He to Whom everything
is humbled and there is no deity worthy of worship, nor any Lord except Him.
﴿قُلْ لِّلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَتُحْشَرُونَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ - قَدْ
كَانَ لَكُمْ ءَايَةٌ فِي فِئَتَيْنِ الْتَقَتَا فِئَةٌ تُقَـتِلُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
وَأُخْرَى كَافِرَةٌ يَرَوْنَهُمْ مِّثْلَيْهِمْ رَأْىَ الْعَيْنِ وَاللَّهُ يُؤَيِّدُ
بِنَصْرِهِ مَن يَشَآءُ إِنَّ فِى ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لاوْلِى الاٌّبْصَـرِ ﴾
(12. Say to those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated and gathered together to
Hell, and worst indeed is that place of rest.'') (13. There has already been a sign
for you in the two armies that met. One was fighting in the cause of Allah, and
as for the other, in disbelief. They saw them with their own eyes twice their number.
And Allah supports with His aid whom He wills. Verily, in this is a lesson for those
who understand.)
