بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

7.53

هَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا تَاْوِیْلَهٗؕ-یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْ تَاْوِیْلُهٗ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ نَسُوْهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ قَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّۚ-فَهَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ شُفَعَآءَ فَیَشْفَعُوْا لَنَاۤ اَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ كُنَّا نَعْمَلُؕ-قَدْ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ۠ (53)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

What are they waiting for except for the outcome declared by that Book to appear? The Day when the declared result of that (Book) will occur. Those (i.e. the disbelievers) who had previously forgotten it will call out; that 'Indeed, the Messengers of our Lord brought the truth; so, do we have any intercessors who may intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back; that we may do deeds contrary to what we have done previously?' They have indeed put their souls at loss and have lost those (friends) who used to entice them with fabrication.

Commentary

The main theme of the previous verses has been the conditions faced by Muslims and disbelievers. However, the people of al-Aʿrāf were also mentioned; these people will have the same number of good deeds and sins. There shall be a group of Muslims who shall have more sins than good deeds, and also some people who would be seized due to a sin despite having good deeds. Considering the aforementioned scenarios, we must show concern for the Hereafter. Firstly, one must refrain from disbelief; secondly, although no Muslim shall stay in Hell forever, it is understood that sinful Muslims will enter Hell, therefore one must fear the punishment and terrors of Hell.
