Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 29 Al-'Ankabut, Ayat 23-23

وَالَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَلِقَآئِهٖۤ اُولٰٓـئِكَ يَـئِسُوۡا مِنۡ رَّحۡمَتِىۡ وَاُولٰٓـئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿29:23﴾

(29:23) Those who disbelieved in Allah's signs and in meeting Him, it is they who have despaired of My Mercy;36 it is they for whom a painful chastisement lies ahead.


Notes

36. That is, they have no share in My mercy, and they should entertain no hope whatsoever of getting any share of My mercy. When they denied the revelations of Allah, they themselves gave up their right to benefit by the promises Allah has made to the believers. Then, when they have denied the Hereafter and do not at all believe that one day they will have to stand before their God, it only means that they cherish no hope at all of Allah’s pardon and forgiveness. After this when they will open their eyes in the- Hereafter, against their expectations, and will also see the truth of those signs of Allah, which they had denied, there is no reason why they should expect to receive any share from Allah’s mercy.
