وَ یَوْمَ And (the) Day یُحْشَرُ will be gathered اَعْدَآءُ (the) enemies اللّٰهِ (of) Allah اِلَی to النَّارِ the Fire فَهُمْ then they یُوْزَعُوْنَ will be assembled in rows حَتّٰۤی Until اِذَا when مَا when جَآءُوْهَا they come to it شَهِدَ (will) testify عَلَیْهِمْ against them سَمْعُهُمْ their hearing وَ اَبْصَارُهُمْ and their sight وَ جُلُوْدُهُمْ and their skins بِمَا (as) to what كَانُوْا they used (to) یَعْمَلُوْنَ do 41. Fussilat Page 479 وَ قَالُوْا And they will say لِجُلُوْدِهِمْ to their skins لِمَ Why do شَهِدْتُّمْ you testify عَلَیْنَا ؕ against us قَالُوْۤا They will say اَنْطَقَنَا Allah made us speak اللّٰهُ Allah made us speak الَّذِیْۤ the One Who اَنْطَقَ makes speak كُلَّ every شَیْءٍ thing وَّ هُوَ and He خَلَقَكُمْ created you اَوَّلَ (the) first مَرَّةٍ time وَّ اِلَیْهِ and to Him تُرْجَعُوْنَ you will be returned وَ مَا And not كُنْتُمْ you were تَسْتَتِرُوْنَ covering yourselves اَنْ lest یَّشْهَدَ testify عَلَیْكُمْ against you سَمْعُكُمْ your hearing وَ لَاۤ and not اَبْصَارُكُمْ your sight وَ لَا and not جُلُوْدُكُمْ your skins وَ لٰكِنْ but ظَنَنْتُمْ you assumed اَنَّ that اللّٰهَ Allah لَا (does) not یَعْلَمُ know كَثِیْرًا much مِّمَّا of what تَعْمَلُوْنَ you do وَ ذٰلِكُمْ And that ظَنُّكُمُ (was) your assumption الَّذِیْ which ظَنَنْتُمْ you assumed بِرَبِّكُمْ about your Lord اَرْدٰىكُمْ It has ruined you فَاَصْبَحْتُمْ and you have become مِّنَ of الْخٰسِرِیْنَ the losers فَاِنْ Then if یَّصْبِرُوْا they endure فَالنَّارُ the Fire مَثْوًی (is) an abode لَّهُمْ ۚ for them وَ اِنْ and if یَّسْتَعْتِبُوْا they ask for favor فَمَا then not هُمْ they مِّنَ (will be) of الْمُعْتَبِیْنَ those who receive favor وَ قَیَّضْنَا And We have destined لَهُمْ for them قُرَنَآءَ companions فَزَیَّنُوْا (who) made fair-seeming لَهُمْ to them مَّا what بَیْنَ (was) before them اَیْدِیْهِمْ (was) before them وَ مَا and what خَلْفَهُمْ (was) behind them وَ حَقَّ and (is) justified عَلَیْهِمُ against them الْقَوْلُ the Word فِیْۤ among اُمَمٍ nations قَدْ (that have) passed away خَلَتْ (that have) passed away مِنْ before them قَبْلِهِمْ before them مِّنَ of الْجِنِّ the jinn وَ الْاِنْسِ ۚ and the men اِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they كَانُوْا were خٰسِرِیْنَ۠ losers
19. On the Day when Allah’s enemies will be gathered together, to Fire they will be driven group wise-,31
20. Till, when they will reach it,32 their ears and their eyes and their skins will testify against them as to what they used to do.33
21. And they will say to their skins: “Why did you testify against us’?” They will reply: “ Allah, who gives speech to all things,34 has given us speech, and He created you for the first time 35 and to Him you shall all return.36
22. ”And you had no fear that your ears and your eyes and your skins will testify against you, and you surmised that Allah did not know much of what you did.
23. “It is this presumption of yours concerning your Lord that has ruined you, and you find yourselves among the lost.”37
24. Now if they have patience, the Fire will still be their home, and if they seek pardon, they will not be granted it.38
25. And we had assigned them companions who made what was before them and behind them seem fair to them.38A And true was the word 39 which was applicable to the generations of jinn and men who have gone before them. They were bound to be destroyed.
31. That is: They will be gathered in different groups in accordance with the seriousness of their crimes.
32. That is: Will reach near the Hell.
33. Their eyes and the ears will testify as to which acts of sin they committed. To close the eyes from seeing Allah’s signs and to plug the ears from hearing the good advice are great crimes. Seeing what is forbidden and hearing what is prohibited are acts of open sinning. Therefore, the sins which were committed by using the ears and that eyes will be testified by these organs on the Day of Judgment. Not only this, every part and hair of the body will give witness to say how it was used in the acts of sinning.
It is learnt that the skin of man’s body is very sensitive, like a tape which will record this act of man and on the Day of Judgment this tape will relay whatever it has recorded as a testimony. (For further explanation, please see Surah Yasin, Note No.70).
34. On the Day of Resurrection a reality will be manifest is, that the things which seem dumb and totally without the power of Speech, in the world, will be able to speak. The earth will relate its events. (Surah Zilzal) And man’s parts and organs will speak out so that the evidence concerning man’s acts in the world be fully provided.
For the man of present day this concept that man’s skin will speak out and will bear witness to his crimes is not at all surprising, for he can prepare a film of any event with the help of the video cassette.
35. From here the statement of Allah begins again.
36. You had refused to believe that you would one day be hauled up before Allah, but now you are seeing that He who had once created you for the first time, to Him you are now returning.
37. To think while committing a sin that it will remain hidden from Allah is tantamount to total disbelief (kufr). No act of sin can remain hidden from the sight of Allah, nor can He remain unaware of any act. But when a man wants to commit a sin, he tries to deceive himself by thinking that the said sin will remain unknown to Allah. And when this idea takes root in his heart (mind), he goes on committing sin after sin, and ultimately falls into the pit of destruction.
38. That is: In anyway they will have to live in the Hell for ever, regardless of the fact whether they would be able to bear it or not. There is no chance of any forgiveness for them.
38.(A) Means bad companions. When man is not guided by his intellect and conscience, and follows his carnal desires, then Satan becomes his companion, and people who are astray become his friends, guides and philosophers. They influence his thinking so effectively that false beliefs and theories and obscene and unlawful conduct appear to them fair and attractive.
By before and behind is meant what had happened in the past and what is going to happen in the future. These bad companions show that the world that whatever evil acts they did in the past were beautiful and that their future is also very bright, their past was ideal and their future is worth looking forward to. And it is a fact that a number of nations today take pride in their ancient culture, even though their culture is the worst example of ignorance, lewdness and superstition. Similarly they see their bright future in their material progress, but the reality is nothing more than a mirage.
39.The decree or the word of Allah is: “I will fill in the Hell with you (Satan) and with those who will follow you, with all.” (Surah Saad Ayah : 85)
