145. From this, we learn that the face is the mirror of the heart. Feelings of the heart appear on the face. Furthermore, the recognition of the believer is on his face. On hearing the Hamd (Praises of Allah Almighty) and Praises of the Naat of Holy Prophet ? the face of a believer glows with joy. while that of the infidel distorts with displeasure.
146. This means that at the moment you become enraged on just hearing about Hell. etc. but when you will actually see Hell you will be exceedingly enraged. The condition of the inmate of Paradise is opposite to this, its mention makes the believer happy, while its sight will make him totally elated.Â
147. Here the word promise is used to denote a warning Allah Almighty has given those who die as infidels, a positive promise of Hell. Although the sinful believers have been warned about Hell, they have also been given hope of forgiveness. He says "Undoubtedly Allah forgives not that infidelity be done with Him and whatever is besides infidelity He shall forgive whomsoever He pleases" (S4:V48). Thus this verse is applicable to the infidels only.

(22:72) When Our Signs are plainly recited to them, you will perceive utter repugnance on their faces and it all but seems as if they will soon pounce upon those who recite Our Signs to them. Say: “Shall I tell you what is worse than that?[122] The Fire with which Allah has threatened those who disbelieve. That is truly an evil end.”
122. That is, you will meet with a far worse state of anguish than that which you display against those who recite divine revelations to you.
