Surah Ar-Rahman Ayat 41 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

36. The faces of the infidels will become black and their foreheads would turn yellow, while the face of a pious believer will brighten and his forehead will shine. Just as the effect of the inner sickness in the world is shown on the face. From this we learn that on the Day of Judgement the sinners would become distinguishable from the wicked by their faces. There would be no need to ask. The asking of the angels of the infidels: "What brought you into Hell?" (S74:V42) is for the sake of embarrassing them.

37. In that their feet would be brought from the back to join with the foreheads and then tied together and then they will be rolled down into Hell like a ball. Both these punishments would be for the infidels. The sinful believers would be protected from this.
