19.77-78-79-80

اَفَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ كَفَرَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ قَالَ لَاُوْتَیَنَّ مَالًا وَّ وَلَدًاﭤ(77) اَطَّلَعَ الْغَیْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَهْدًاۙ (78) كَلَّاؕ-سَنَكْتُبُ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَ نَمُدُّ لَهٗ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّاۙ (79) وَّ نَرِثُهٗ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَ یَاْتِیْنَا فَرْدًا(80)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

So did you see the one who disbelieved in Our verses and said, “I shall most definitely be granted wealth and children.”?[1] Has he attained knowledge of the unseen or made a covenant with the Infinitely Gracious? Never! Soon We shall write that which he says, and We will prolong punishment for him considerably. And We shall inherit that which he is speaking of and he will come to Us alone.[1]

Commentary

[1]

Imām Ghazālī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states that the person who remains busy in acts disliked by Allah Almighty and does not censure himself for it nor repents, then it is foolish for such a person to hope for forgiveness. This type of hope is like the hope of an individual who sows seeds in salty ground, waters it, cleans the area, and then does not intend to take care of it. (Iḥyā ‘Ulūm al-Dīn, vol. 4, p. 176) Nevertheless, to have hope of being forgiven on account of one’s faith is accepted. There is an excellent lesson in this for those who oppose the command of Allah Almighty and then delude themselves by saying Allah Almighty will forgive. May Allah Almighty grant them sound understanding اٰمین.

Meaning, when he arrives in the Divine Court, he will not have any wealth nor children, rather, he will be all alone. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “The people will be raised on the Day of Judgement barefooted, naked and uncircumcised.” So, Sayyidatunā ʿĀʾishah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْھَا said, “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Will the men and women look at each other?” He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “The situation will be too severe for people to look at each other.” (Ṣaḥiḥ Al-Bukhārī: 6527; Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim: 56
