بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

7.53

هَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا تَاْوِیْلَهٗؕ-یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْ تَاْوِیْلُهٗ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ نَسُوْهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ قَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّۚ-فَهَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ شُفَعَآءَ فَیَشْفَعُوْا لَنَاۤ اَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ كُنَّا نَعْمَلُؕ-قَدْ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ۠ (53)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

They are only waiting for the ultimate outcome stated by the Quran. The Day when the ultimate outcome shall come, those who had forgotten it prior to this will say, “Indeed, Messengers of our Lord came to us with the truth; so are there any intercessors for us who may intercede for us? Or can we be sent back so we may act in opposition to our previous deeds.” Indeed they incurred loss for their lives, and that which they were fabricating deserted them. [1]

Commentary

[1]

The main theme of the previous verses has been the conditions faced by Muslims and disbelievers. However, the people of al-Aʿrāf were also mentioned; these people will have the same number of good deeds and sins. There shall be a group of Muslims who shall have more sins than good deeds, and also some people who would be seized due to a sin despite having good deeds. Considering the aforementioned scenarios, we must show concern for the Hereafter. Firstly, one must refrain from disbelief; secondly, although no Muslim shall stay in Hell forever, it is understood that sinful Muslims will enter Hell, therefore one must fear the punishment and terrors of Hell.
