Transliteration:( Innal lazeena kafaru min ahlil kitaabi wal mushri keena fee nari jahan nama khaali deena feeha; ulaa-ika hum shar rul ba reeyah )
9. It means the polytheists and the People of the Book; both are equal in actual infidelity. Hence, in the actual punishment i.e. eternal stay in Hell, too both will be equal. Although because of the difference in the nature of infidelity there will be a difference in punishment. Thus, some will be in the highest region of Hell receiving lighter punishment while others will be in the bottom region of Hell receiving severe punishment. Thus, there can be no objection raised in the verse. It should be observed that the People of the Book were proud of their knowledge and being from the household of the Prophets, while the polytheists took pride in being of service to the Ka'bah and being from the progeny of Hazrat fr Ebrahim (On whom be peace). In this verse there is a repudiation of both their views. From this we learn that the punishment of every type H of infidelity is the eternal abode in Hell. The of one who rejects Allah Almighty is the rejecter of the Prophet, the rejecter of the Holy Quran and the enemy of the Noble Companions and th the household members of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم They are all equal in No punishment. However, knowledge and family lineage are beneficial for the believers, but they would be useless to the infidels.
10. It should be remembered that although the entry of the infidels into Hell would be only after the Day of Judgement, but because this is a certainty, or because infidelity is the certain cause of this entry, entry into infidelity is like entry into Hell, therefore it has been stated here that they are in the fire of Hell. It should also be remembered that some of the infidels would be kept separately from Hell like Hazrat Abu Talib, and some will be in the cooler regions of Hell, but since most of the infidels would be in the fire, hence both these groups would be punished in the fire. In the cooler region fire is at a distance, which would provide coolness. Thus, it has been declared for the infidels that they are in the fire i.e. the punishment of all the infidels is fire, some are punished near the fire and some are punished away from the fire.
11. It means all the People of the Book. despite being scholars or from the progeny of the Prophets, and the polytheists despite The rendering service to the sacred Ka'bah or being from the progeny of Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) are worse than the entire creation, it's on dogs and pigs and the impurities, etc. because Hell is for them. It is they who are the curse of Allah Almighty and His entire creation. There was no place for them in the Ark of Hazrat Nuh (On whom be peace), although all the animals were given refuge in it. This is because they are the traitors of the Divine State. No other creation is a traitor. It should be remembered that by creation is meant the creation of that period. Shaitaan and the Pharaoh are from the earlier creation while Dajjal is from the later creation. Thus, the meaning of the verse is crystal clear..
6. Verily, those who disbelieve from among the People of the Scripture and idolators, will abide in the fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures. 7. Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures. 8. Their reward with their Lord is Eternal Gardens, underneath which rivers flow. They will abide therein forever, Allah will be pleased with them, and they well-pleased with Him. That is for him who fears his Lord.
Allah informs of what will happen to the wicked disbelievers among the People of the Scripture and the idolators who oppose the Allah’s divinely revealed Books and the Prophets whom He sent. He says that they will be in the fire of Hell on the Day of Judgement and they will abide therein forever. This means that they will remain in it and they will have no way out of it and they will not cease being in it.
(They are the worst of creatures.) meaning, they are the worst creation that Allah has fashioned and created. Then Allah informs about the situation of the righteous people who believed in their hearts and performed righteous deeds with their bodies. He says that they are the best of creation. Abu Hurayrah and a group of the scholars have used this Ayah as a proof that the believers have a status among the creatures that is better than the angels. This is because Allah says,
(They are the best of creatures.) Then Allah says,
(Their reward with their Lord) meaning, on the Day of Judgement.
(is Eternal Gardens underneath which rivers flow. They will abide therein forever,) meaning, having no end, no break and no conclusion.
(Allah will be pleased with them, and they well-pleased with Him.) The condition of Him being pleased with them is more illustri- ous than all of the everlasting delights that they will be given.
(and they well-pleased with Him.) Due to the comprehensive favors He has given them. Then Allah says,
(That is for him who fears his Lord.) meaning, this is the reward that will be attained by those who revere Allah and fear Him as He deserves to be feared. This is the person who worships Allah as if he sees Him, and he knows that even though he does not see Him, indeed Allah sees him. Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah said,
(Shall I not inform you of the best of creation) They said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah!†He said,
(A man who takes the reins of his horse in the way of Allah, and whenever there is a fearful cry from the enemy, he climbs upon it. Shall I not inform you of the best of creation) They said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah!†He said,
(A man who has a flock of sheep and he establishes the prayer and gives the obligatory charity. Shall I not inform you of the worst of creation) They said, “Of course.†He said,
(The person who is asked by Allah and he does not give by Him.) This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Lam Yakun (Al-Bayyinah), and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
