Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, they were affluent before this, persevering with the major sin,[1] and they used to say, “When we have died and become dust and bones, will we (then) be resurrected? And our forefathers too?”

Commentary

[1]

Persevering upon the major sin means being persistent upon polytheism. Polytheists will primarily enter Hellfire eternally due to their persistent major sin of polytheism and dying in this state. Remaining persistent upon a major sin is such a dangerous matter for a Muslim too, the outcome of which can manifest in the removal of faith and dying upon disbelief. Rūḥ al-Bayān states: “Being persistent upon sins leads many sinful Muslims to die upon disbelief.” (Rūḥ al-Bayān, Al-AnꜤām, under the verse 70, vol. 3, p. 51)
