The Clear Qur'anic Exegesis (33)

Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf

Surat Al Baqarah (80-81)

{ وَقَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلاَّ أَيَّاماً مَّعْدُودَةً قُلْ أَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِندَ اللّهِ عَهْداً فَلَن يُخْلِفَ اللّهُ عَهْدَهُ أَمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ } [البقرة: 80].


80- Out of their ignorance they would say: We will not remain in the torment but for a few days then we will go out to the Bliss! O Prophet, tell them: Have you taken a promise from Allah for that? If that was the case, Allah Almighty would not break His Promise, but when was that and how? That never happened, but they attribute lies against Allah.

{ بَلَى مَن كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَاطَتْ بِهِ خَطِيـئَتُهُ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ } [البقرة: 81]


81- The matter was not as you thought or wished. Verily, whoever commits a sin and comes on the Day of Recompense without any good deed, that person will be one of the inhabitants of Hell, such as the disbelievers.
