Transliteration:( Qaala kazaalika atatka Aayaatunaa fanaseetahaa wa kazaalikal Yawma tunsaa )
Allah will say, "Thus Our signs had come to you [178], and you did forget them and in the like manner no one will take care of you" [179].
This refers to the verses of the Holy Qur’an, the proofs of Allah’s Oneness, and the clear arguments presented to mankind. The person had ignored or forgotten them, failing to reflect or act upon them, and hence deserved to be forgotten in return.
This teaches us that as a person acts, so will he be treated. Just as punishment affects both this world and the Hereafter, so too does the reward of good deeds.
For example, a Muslim who performs prayers in congregation will enjoy:
Blessings in sustenance
Spaciousness in the grave
Ease in crossing the Bridge of Sirat
Whereas one who abandons congregational prayers may suffer:
Lack of blessings in earnings
Absence of piety on the face
Dislike from people
Hardships at the time of death, in the grave, and during reckoning
The tafsir of Surah Ta-Ha verse 126 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Taha ayat 123 which provides the complete commentary from verse 123 through 126.
(20:126) He will say: “Even so it is. Our Signs came to you and you ignored them. So shall you be ignored this Day.”[107]
107. The Quran has described the different conditions and experiences through which the criminals will pass from the Day of Resurrection to the time of their entry into Hell: You were neglectful of this, now We have removed the curtain from before you and your sight has become very sharp. (Surah Qaaf, Ayat 22). He is only deferring them to the Day when all eyes shall stare with consternation. They will be running in terror with heads uplifted and eyes fixed upwards and hearts void. (Surah Ibrahim, Ayat 42-43). We have fastened the augury of every man to his own neck and on the Day of Resurrection We will bring forth a writing which he will find like an open book. (It will be said to him:) Here is your record: read it. Today you can yourself reckon your account. (Surah Al-Isra, Ayat 13-14). In the light of the above and this (verse 126), it appears that in the Hereafter, the criminals shall be enabled to see the horrible sights and to realize the consequences of their evil deeds, but in other respects they will be like the blind man who cannot see his way and is deprived of even a staff to feel his way, nor is there anyone to guide him. So he stumbles and is knocked about and does not know where to go and how to satisfy his needs. This very state has been expressed thus: You forgot Our Revelations when they came to you, so you are being forgotten today, as if, you were blind and had no one to look after you.
