Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 39 Az-Zumar, Ayat 71-75
وَسِيۡقَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا ؕ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَآءُوۡهَا فُتِحَتۡ اَبۡوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمۡ خَزَنَـتُهَاۤ اَلَمۡ يَاۡتِكُمۡ رُسُلٌ مِّنۡكُمۡ يَتۡلُوۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّكُمۡ وَيُنۡذِرُوۡنَـكُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هٰذَا ؕ قَالُوۡا بَلٰى وَلٰـكِنۡ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ الۡعَذَابِ عَلَى الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ
﴿39:71﴾
قِيۡلَ ادۡخُلُوۡۤا اَبۡوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاۚ فَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى الۡمُتَكَبِّرِيۡنَ
﴿39:72﴾
وَسِيۡقَ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا رَبَّهُمۡ اِلَى الۡجَـنَّةِ زُمَرًاؕ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَآءُوۡهَا وَفُتِحَتۡ اَبۡوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمۡ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ طِبۡتُمۡ فَادۡخُلُوۡهَا خٰلِدِيۡنَ
﴿39:73﴾
وَقَالُوا الۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىۡ صَدَقَنَا وَعۡدَهٗ وَاَوۡرَثَنَا الۡاَرۡضَ نَتَبَوَّاُ مِنَ الۡجَـنَّةِ حَيۡثُ نَشَآءُ ۚ فَنِعۡمَ اَجۡرُ الۡعٰمِلِيۡنَ
﴿39:74﴾
وَتَرَى الۡمَلٰٓـئِكَةَ حَآفِّيۡنَ مِنۡ حَوۡلِ الۡعَرۡشِ يُسَبِّحُوۡنَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡۚ وَقُضِىَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ بِالۡحَـقِّ وَقِيۡلَ الۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ
﴿39:75﴾
(39:71) (After the judgement has been passed) the unbelievers shall be driven
in companies to Hell so that when they arrive there, its gates shall be thrown
open81 and its keepers shall say to them: “Did Messengers from among
yourselves not come to you, rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord and warning
you against your meeting of this Day?” They will say: “Yes indeed; but the sentence
of chastisement was bound to be executed against the unbelievers.” (39:72) It will be said: “Enter the gates of Hell. Herein shall you abide.”
How evil is the abode of the vainglorious! (39:73) And those who eschewed disobeying their Lord shall be driven in companies
to Paradise so that when they arrive there its gates will have already been
thrown open and its keepers shall say to them: “Peace be upon you; you have
done well. So enter. Herein you shall abide.” (39:74) They will say: “All thanks and praise be to Allah Who has made His
promise to us come true, and Who gave us the earth to inherit.82
We may now dwell in Paradise wherever we please.”83 How excellent
is the reward of those who laboured!84 (39:75) You shall see the angels surrounding the Throne, glorifying their
Lord with His praise, and judgement will have been made among them with fairness,
and it will be proclaimed: “All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the
whole Universe.” 85
Notes
81. That is, the gates of Hell will not have already been opened but will
be opened on their arrival there just as the gate of a prison is opened on the
arrival of the culprits and is closed as soon as they have entered it.
82. For explanation, see
(Surah Ta Ha, Ayats 106-107,124);
(Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayats 106-107 )and the E.Ns thereof.
83. That is, the Paradise which has been granted to each of us, is now our
property and we possess full rights over it.
84. Maybe this is said by the dwellers of Paradise, or maybe this sentence
is added by Allah to what the dwellers of Paradise will say.
85. That is, the entire Universe will proclaim the praises of Allah All-Mighty.
