    Surah An-Nahl Ayat 107 Tafsir (Commentry)

    242. It Should be remembered that Regarding The Worldly Life as beneficial for the Hereafter is the way of the believer because he utilises this life for accumulating the virtuous deeds for the Hereafter. While regarding this life superior to the Hereafter is the work of the infidels. 

    Hazrat Ammar uttered infidelity because he was overcome by temptation of prolonging his companionship with  the Holy Prophet ?

    243. Thus, until a person continues to remain an infidel he does not receive any guidance of doing good deeds. He, whose death on infidelity is within divine knowledge does not receive guidance towards accepting faith. Or he who dies as an infidel will not receive guidance to answer questions of the grave and those on the Day of Judgement correctly. Hence there is no inconsistency in this verse. Millions of infidels have died after accepting Islam, but it in no way contradicts the meaning of this verse.
