[ادْخُلُواْ فِى
أُمَمٍ]
(Enter you in the company of nations), who are your likes and similar to you
in conduct,
[قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن
قَبْلِكُمْ]
(Who passed away before you) from the earlier disbelieving nations,
[مِّن الْجِنِّ
وَالإِنْسِ فِى النَّارِ]
(Of men and Jinn, into the Fire.) Allah said next,
[كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ
أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا]
(Every time a new nation enters, it curses its sister nation (that went
before)) Al-Khalil (Prophet Ibrahim), peace be upon him, said,
[ثُمَّ يَوْمَ
الْقِيَـمَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ]
("But on the Day of Resurrection, you shall deny each other) [29:25]. Also,
Allah said,
[إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ
الَّذِينَ اتُّبِعُواْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُواْ وَرَأَوُاْ الْعَذَابَ
وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الاٌّسْبَابُ - وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُواْ لَوْ أَنَّ
لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُواْ مِنَّا كَذَلِكَ
يُرِيهِمُ اللَّهُ أَعْمَـلَهُمْ حَسَرَتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا هُم بِخَـرِجِينَ مِنَ
النَّارِ ]
(When those who were followed declare themselves innocent of those who
followed (them), and they see the torment, then all their relations will be cut
off from them. And those who followed will say: "If only we had one more chance
to return (to the worldly life), we would declare ourselves as innocent from
them as they have declared themselves as innocent from us.'' Thus Allah will
show them their deeds as regrets for them. And they will never get out of the
Fire) [2:166-167]. Allah's statement,
[حَتَّى إِذَا
ادَّارَكُواْ فِيهَا جَمِيعًا]
(until they are all together in the Fire) means, they are all gathered in the
Fire,
[قَالَتْ أُخْرَاهُمْ
لاٍّولَـهُمْ]
(The last of them will say to the first of them) that is, the nation of
followers that enter last will say this to the first nations to enter. This is
because the earlier nations were worse criminals than those who followed them,
and this is why they entered the Fire first. For this reason, their followers
will complain against them to Allah, because they were the ones who misguided
them from the correct path, saying,
[رَبَّنَا هَـؤُلاءِ
أَضَلُّونَا فَـَاتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ النَّارِ]
("Our Lord! These misled us, so give them a double torment of the Fire.'')
multiply their share of the torment. Allah said in another instance,
[يَوْمَ تُقَلَّبُ
وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى النَّارِ يَقُولُونَ يلَيْتَنَآ أَطَعْنَا اللَّهَ وَأَطَعْنَا
الرَّسُولاَ - وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا
فَأَضَلُّونَا السَّبِيلاْ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِهِمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ]
(On the Day when their faces will be turned over in the Fire, they will say:
"Oh! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger.'' And they will
say: "Our Lord! Verily, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled
us from the (right) way. Our Lord! Give them a double torment.'') [33:66-68].
Allah said in reply,
[قَالَ لِكُلٍّ
ضِعْفٌ]
(He will say: "For each one there is double (torment)...''), We did what you
asked, and recompensed each according to their deeds.' Allah said in another
Ayah,
[الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ زِدْنَـهُمْ عَذَابًا]
(Those who disbelieved and hinder (men) from the path of Allah, for them We
will add torment)[16:88]. Furthermore, Allah said,
[وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ
أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالاً مَّعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ]
(And verily, they shall bear their own loads, and other loads besides their
own) [29:13] and,
[وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ
الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ]
(And also (some thing) of the burdens of those whom they misled without
knowledge) [16:25].
[وَقَالَتْ
أُولَـهُمْ لاٌّخْرَاهُمْ]
(The first of them will say to the last of them) meaning, the followed will
say to the followers,
[فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ
عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ]
("You were not better than us. ..'') meaning, you were led astray as we were
led astray, according to As-Suddi.
[فَذُوقُواْ
الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ]
("So taste the torment for what you used to earn.'') Allah again described
the condition of the idolators during the gathering (of Resurrection), when He
said;
[قَالَ الَّذِينَ
اسْتَكْبَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُواْ أَنَحْنُ صَدَدنَـكُمْ عَنِ الْهُدَى
بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَكُمْ بَلْ كُنتُمْ مُّجْرِمِينَ - وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ
اسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ بَلْ مَكْرُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِذْ
تَأْمُرُونَنَآ أَن نَّكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُ أَندَاداً وَأَسَرُّواْ
النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ اْلَعَذَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا الاٌّغْلَـلَ فِى أَعْنَاقِ
الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلاَّ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ]
(And those who were arrogant will say to those who were deemed weak: "Did we
keep you back from guidance after it come to you Nay, but you were criminals.''
Those who were deemed weak will say to those who were arrogant: "Nay, but it was
your plotting by night and day, when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah and
set up rivals to Him!'' And each of them (parties) will conceal their own
regrets, when they behold the torment. And We shall put iron collars round the
necks of those who disbelieved. Are they requited aught except what they used to
do) [34:32-33]
[إِنَّ الَّذِينَ
كَذَّبُواْ بِـَايَـتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ عَنْهَا لاَ تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَبُ
السَّمَآءِ وَلاَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِى سَمِّ
الْخِيَاطِ وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِى الْمُجْرِمِينَ - لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ
وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِى الظَّـلِمِينَ ]
(40. Verily, those who belie Our Ayat and treat them with arrogance, for them
the gates of the heavens will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise
until the Jamal goes through the eye of the needle. Thus do We recompense the
criminals.) (41. Theirs will be Mihad from the Fire, and over them Ghawash. Thus
do We recompense the wrongdoers.)
