🔥 Hell Brought Near and the Futility of Regret

📖 Tafseer (Commentary) of Ayah 89:23-24

🔹 Hell 🔥 Brought Near

Hell Will Be Made Visible

  • On the Day of Judgment ⚖️, Hell will be placed in front of all people.
  • It may be moved from its original place or brought closer to the Field of Reckoning near Allah’s Throne.

A Fearsome Scene

  • One Hadith states that Hell will have 70,000 chains,
  • Each chain will be pulled by 70,000 angels, dragging the sinners toward it.
  • Everyone will cry out in terror, thinking of their fate.

The Prophet ﷺ Will Call for His Followers

  • While everyone will call for themselves,
  • Our beloved Prophet ﷺ will say:
    "My followers! My followers!" (i.e., interceding for his Ummah).

🔹 Regret Will Be Useless

⚠️ Too Late for Repentance

  • Sinners will realize their mistakes, but regret will not benefit them.
  • They will acknowledge the truth of their Prophets' messages, but it will be of no use.

⚠️ No Second Chance

  • They will wish for another chance,
  • But this world was the place for deeds,
  • The Hereafter is only for judgment – no deeds, no repentance.

🔹 Lessons from This Verse

🔴 Repent Before It’s Too Late

  • Once death comes, repentance will not be accepted.

🔴 The Prophet ﷺ Cares for His Ummah

  • While others will be in fear, our Prophet ﷺ will be pleading for his people.

Ala-Maududi

(89:23) and when Hell is brought near that Day. On that Day will man understand, but of what avail will that understanding be?[17]


17. The words in the original can have two meanings:

(1) That on that Day man will remember whatever he had done in the world and will regret, but what will remembrance and regretting avail him then.

(2) That on that Day man will take heed and accept admonition: he will realize that whatever he had been told by the Prophets was true and he committed a folly when he did not listen to them; but what will taking heed and accepting the admonition and realizing one’s errors avail then.

(23) And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but how [i.e., what good] to him will be the remembrance?
