Transliteration:( Maa salakakum fee saqar )
“What has brought you into Saqar (Lower Hell)?”
This verse portrays the inmates of Hell being questioned about their fate. The question, "What has brought you into Saqar?" is meant to embarrass them, as it highlights their infidelity and their wrongful actions that led to their punishment. In contrast, the people of Paradise will be fully aware that these individuals ended up in Hell because of their disbelief.
It is important to note that the sinful believers who are temporarily placed in Hell will not face such a question from the people of Paradise. Instead, the people of Paradise, through Allah's (اللَّهُ ) permission, will intercede for them and help bring them out of Hell. This verse emphasizes the clear distinction between those who are punished for their disbelief and those who are interceded for due to their faith.
