Transliteration:( Wa naadaa Ashaabul jannati ashaaban Naari an qad wajadnaa maa wa'adannaa Rabbunaa haqqan fahal wajattum maa wa'ada Rabbukum haqqan qaaloo na'am; fa azzana mu'azzinum bainahum al la'natul laahi 'alaz zaalimeen )
100. Here, inmates of Hell refer to infidels who are condemned to Hell, and not sinful believers because the Muslim in Paradise will not taunt the sinners but through their intercession take them out of Hell, as is reported in the Hadith Shareef.Â
101. By this is meant your and our Lord had promised Paradise for doing good deeds and warned you of being sent to Hell for disobedience and rebellion. Has this promise been made good? From this we learn that to put fear is being equated with promises i.e. threat is being interpreted as promise. Furthermore, we learn that the warnings and promises of the Prophets are warnings and promises of Allah Almighty, because it was the Prophet who had directly communicated with them.
102. The caller will be Hazrat Israfeel (On whom be peace) or another angel who will be given this duty, while the unjust are the infidels as is being ascertained from the next verse.

44. And the dwellers of Paradise will call out to the dwellers of the Fire (saying): “We have indeed found true what our Lord had promised us; have you also found true what your Lord promised (warned)” They shall say: “Yes.” Then a crier will proclaim between them: “The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers.” 45. Those who hindered (men) from the path of Allah, and would seek to make it crooked, and they were disbelievers in the Hereafter.
Allah mentioned how the people of the Fire will be addressed, chastised and admonished when they take their places in the Fire,
(“We (dwellers of Paradise) have indeed found true what our Lord had promised us; have you (dwellers of Hell) also found true what your Lord promised (warned)” They shall say: “Yes.”) In Surat As-Saffat, Allah mentioned the one who had a disbelieving companion,
(So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire. He said: “By Allah! You have nearly ruined me. Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell).” (The dwellers of Paradise will say!) “Are we then not to die (any more) Except our first death, and we shall not be punished”) ﴿37:55-59﴾. Allah will punish the disbeliever for the claims he used to utter in this life. The angels will also admonish the disbelievers, saying,
(This is the Fire which you used to belie. Is this magic or do you not see Taste you therein its heat and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it is all the same. You are only being requited for what you used to do) ﴿52:14-16﴾. The Messenger of Allah admonished the inhabitants of the well at Badr:
(O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O `Utbah bin Rabi`ah! O Shaybah bin Rabi`ah (and he called their leaders by name)! Have you found what your Lord promised to be true (the Fire) I certainly found what my Lord has promised me to be true (victory).) `Umar said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Do you address a people who have become rotten carrion” He said,
(By He in Whose Hand is my soul! You do not hear what I am saying better than they do, but they cannot reply.) Allah’s statement,
(Then a crier will proclaim between them) will herald and announce,
(The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers) meaning, the curse will reside with the wrongdoers. Allah then described them by saying,
(Those who hindered (men) from the path of Allah, and would seek to make it crooked) meaning, they hindered the people from following Allah’s path, His Law, and what the Prophets brought. They sought to make Allah’s path appear crooked and winding, so that no one would follow it. Allah said,
(and they were disbelievers in the Hereafter) They disbelieved in the Meeting with Allah in the Hereafter, They used to deny this will ever occur, not accepting it nor believing in it. This is why they used to discount the seriousness of the evil deeds and statements that they committed, because they did not fear any reckoning or punishment. Therefore, they were and are indeed the worst people in statement and action.
(7:44) And the people of Paradise shall cry to the people of Hell: ‘Surely we have found our Lord’s promise to us to be true. have you also found true what your Lord has promised you?’ ‘Yes’, they shall answer; and a herald shall cry out among them: ‘Allah’s curse be upon the wrong-doers’;
