Show Full Scripture Context (23:101-104) — 4 Verses
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
When there is a blast on the trumpet, (there will be) no (claims of kinship) among them on that Day, nor will they ask each other questions.
فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ
Whoever’s scales are heavy, those – they are the ones who prosper,
وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فِي جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ
but whoever’s scales are light, those are the ones who have lost their (own) selves – remaining in Gehenna.
تَلۡفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ
The Fire will scorch their faces, while they grimace in it.
Allah says that when the Trumpet is blown for the Resurrection, and the people rise from their graves,
there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.
meaning that lineage will be of no avail on that Day, and a father will not ask about his son or care about him. Allah says:
[skipping missing text] and been saved from an evil from which there is no escape.”
And those whose Scales are light, means, their evil deeds outweigh their good deeds.
they are those who lose themselves,
means, they are doomed and have ended up with the worst deal. Allah says:
in Hell will they abide. meaning, they will stay there forever and will never leave.
The Fire will burn their faces, This is like the Ayah:
and fire will cover their faces 14:50.
and:
If only those who disbelieved knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs 21:39.
and therein they will grin, with displaced lips.
‘Ali bin Abi Talhah narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas, “Frowning.”
