Surah Al-Ahqaf Ayat 34 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

94. In that while they are being taken to Hell they will be made to stand at the edge of Hell and asked through the angels. Speak is Hell a reality this question will be asked to digrace them, which will be done before they are sent into Hell. For this reason the word prosomed is used here

95. This tells us that the biggest reason for the punishment of the infidels is their infidelity, thereafter their evil deeds as well. Or, the reason for their eternal stay in Hell is their infidelity. Therefore, the sinful believers will be sent into Hell, but it is for a temporary period thus, there is no inconsistency in the verse.
