إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٖ
Surely the pious will indeed be in (a place of) bliss,
وَإِنَّ ٱلۡفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٖ
and surely the depraved will indeed be in a Furnace.
يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ
They will burn in it on the Day of Judgment,
وَمَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
and from it they will not be absent.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
What will make you know what the Day of Judgment is?
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Once again, what will make you know what the Day of Judgment is?
يَوۡمَ لَا تَمۡلِكُ نَفۡسٞ لِّنَفۡسٖ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلَّهِ
The Day when no one will have any power to (help) another. The command on that Day (will belong) to God.
Allah informs of what the righteous will receive of delight. They are those who obeyed Allah and did not meet Him with disobedience (sins). Then He mentions that the evildoers will be in Hell and eternal torment. Due to this He says,
meaning, the Day of Reckoning, Recompense, and Judgement.
meaning, they will not be absent for even one hour from the torment. The torment will not be lightened from them, nor will they be granted the death that they will be requesting, or any rest - not even for a single day. Allah then says,
This is a magnification of the affair of the Day of Judgement. Then Allah affirms it by saying,
Then He explains this by saying,
meaning, no one will be able to benefit anyone else, or help him out of that which he will be in, unless Allah gives permission to whomever He wishes and is pleased with. We will mention here a Hadith (where the Prophet said),
“O children of Hashim! Save yourselves from the Fire, for I have no power to cause you any benefit from Allah.”
This has been mentioned previously at the end of the Tafsir of Surat Ash-Shu‘ara’ (see 26:214). Thus, Allah says,
This is similar to Allah’s statement,
{Whose is the kingdom this Day? It is Allah's, the One, the Irresistible.} (40:16)
It is also similar to His statement,
{The true sovereignty on that Day will be for the Most Gracious} (25:26)
It is also similar to His saying;
{The only Owner of the Day of Recompense.} (1:4)
Qatadah said,
“By Allah, the Decision is for Allah today (now), but on that Day no one will try to dispute with Him about it.”
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Infitar. All praise and blessings are due to Allah, and He is the Giver of success and freedom from error.
