Allah says, `do you not wonder, O Muhammad, at those who deny the signs of
Allah and dispute the truth by means of falsehood, how their minds are diverted
from the truth and are misguided'
[الَّذِينَ
كَذَّبُواْ بِالْكِـتَـبِ وَبِمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا بِهِ رُسُلَنَا]
(Those who deny the Book, and that with which We sent Our Messengers) means,
guidance and clear proof.
[فَسَوْفَ
يَعْلَمُونَ]
(they will come to know.) This is a stern warning and clear threat from the
Lord to these people. This is like the Ayah:
[وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ
لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ]
(Woe that Day to the deniers!) (77:15)
[إِذِ الاٌّغْلَـلُ
فِى أَعْنَـقِهِمْ والسَّلَـسِلُ]
(When iron collars will be rounded over their necks, and the chains.) means,
the chains will be attached to the iron collars, and the keepers of Hell will
drag them along on their faces, sometimes to the boiling water, and sometimes to
the Fire. Allah says:
[يُسْحَبُونَ
فِىالْحَمِيمِ ثُمَّ فِى النَّارِ يُسْجَرُونَ]
(they shall be dragged along, in the boiling water, then they will be burned
in the Fire. ) This is like the Ayat:
[هَـذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ
الَّتِى يُكَذِّبُ بِهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ - يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ حَمِيمٍ
ءَانٍ ]
(This is the Hell which the criminals denied. They will go between it and the
fierce boiling water!) (55:43-44). After describing how they will eat Zaqqum (a
bitter tree of Hell) and drink Hamim (boiling water), Allah says:
[ثُمَّ إِنَّ
مَرْجِعَهُمْ لإِلَى الْجَحِيمِ ]
(Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.)
(37:68), And Allah says:
[وَأَصْحَـبُ
الشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـبُ الشِّمَالِ - فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ - وَظِلٍّ مِّن
يَحْمُومٍ - لاَّ بَارِدٍ وَلاَ كَرِيمٍ ]
h(And those on the Left Hand -- how (unfortunate) will be those on the Left
Hand In fierce hot wind and boiling water, and shadow of black smoke, (that
shadow) neither cool nor (even) pleasant.) until
[ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ
أَيُّهَا الضَّآلُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ - لاّكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ -
فَمَالِـُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ - فَشَـرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ -
فَشَـرِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ - هَـذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ ]
(Then moreover, verily, -- you the erring-ones, the deniers (of
Resurrection)! You verily, will eat of the trees of Zaqqum. Then you will fill
your bellies therewith, and drink boiling water on top of it. And you will drink
(that) like thirsty camels! That will be their entertainment on the Day of
Recompense!) (56: 41-44, 51-56),
[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 ]
(Verily, the tree of Zaqqum will be the food of the sinners. Like boiling
oil, it will boil in the bellies, like the boiling of scalding water. (It will
be said:) ''Seize him and drag him into the midst of blazing Fire, then pour
over his head the torment of boiling water. Taste you (this)! Verily, you were
(pretending to be) the mighty, the generous! Verily, this is that whereof you
used to doubt!'') (44:43-50) i.e., this will be said to them to rebuke and
ridicule them.
[ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُمْ
أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ]
(Then it will be said to them: "Where are (all) those whom you considered
partners -- besides Allah'') means, it will be said to them, `where are the
idols whom you used to worship instead of Allah Can they help you today'
[قَـالُواْ ضَـلُّواْ
عَنَّا]
(They will say: "They have vanished from us...'') mean, they have gone away
and they cannot do anything for us.'
[بَل لَّمْ نَكُنْ
نَّدْعُواْ مِن قَبْلُ شَيْئاً]
(Nay, we did not invoke (worship) anything before. ) means, they will deny
that they worshipped them. This is like the Ayah:
[ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُنْ
فِتْنَتُهُمْ إِلاَّ أَن قَالُواْ وَاللَّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ
]
(There will then be (left) no Fitnah (excuse) for them but to say: "By Allah,
our Lord, we were not those who joined others in worship with Allah.'') (6:23)
Allah says:
[كَذَلِكَ يُضِلُّ
اللَّهُ الْكَـفِرِينَ]
(Thus Allah leads astray the disbelievers).
[ذَلِكُمْ بِمَا
كُنتُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَمْرَحُونَ
]
(That was because you had been exulting in the earth without any right, and
that you used to rejoice extremely.) means, the angels will say to them, `what
you are suffering now is your recompense for your exulting in the earth without
any right, and for your extravagance.'
[ادْخُلُواْ أَبْوَبَ
جَهَنَّمَ خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَا فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ]
(Enter the gates of Hell to abide therein, and (indeed) what an evil abode of
the arrogant!) means, what a terrible abode and final destination, filled with
humiliation and severe punishment for those who arrogantly ignored the signs of
Allah and refused to accept His proof and evidence. And Allah knows best.
[فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ
وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَـإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ
نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ - وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلاً مِّن
قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ
وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَايَةٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا
جَـآءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قُضِىَ بِالْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ
]
(77. So be patient, verily, the promise of Allah is true and whether We show
you some part of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die, then still
it is to Us they all shall be returned.) (78. And, indeed We have sent
Messengers before you, of some of them We have related to you their story. And
of some We have not related to you their story, and it was not given to any
Messenger that he should bring a sign except by the leave of Allah. But, when
comes the commandment of Allah, the matter will be decided with truth, and the
followers of falsehood will then be lost.)
