    Surah Al-Anbiya Ayat 39 Tafsir (Commentry)

    61.This means the fire would surround the infidels from all directions in the grave or in the Hereafter and they will not be able to ward off this fire through any means. If the fire does reach the sinful believer it will be (if Allah Almighty wills), extinguished through the blessings of his charities or through his tears which were shed when weeping due to fear of Allah Almighty. Also, fire will not reach a believer from all directions, in fact, his heart, brain and parts of Sajdah will be protected from it.

    62. This tells us that being without helpers is for the infidels. Allah Almighty has provided many helpers for the believers. Says Allah Almighty: "Only Allah is your helper and His Messenger and the believers" (S5:V55). From this you further understand that the fire of Hell would be burning the faces of the infidels, but not that of the sinful believers. The parts of Sajdah would be safe. There, the believer will appear in his human form and infidels IN  another shape.
