Surah As-Sajdah Ayat 20 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

40. By "FISQ is meant to go beyond the limits the sinful believer going beyond the limits of piety, the infidel exceeding the limits of farth. In fact, one who insults the dignity of the Holy Prophet, This is out of the limits of humanity. Here the word FISO is used to reflect the second meaning i.e infidelity.

41. In that the inmates of Hell would be jumping in the blazing flames so high that they would be coming to the mouth of Hell, very near to coming out of pain. The angels would immediately strike their hodies with a mace, with which they will fall back into Hell. This does not mean that they try to come running out of Hell, because there is no possibility of nunning out of it.

42. It means enjoy the taste of your infidelity forever. From this we learn that this specific punishment, mentioned here, will not be for the sinful believers, if Allah wills. Nor will the believer be in such a Hell eternally, because he was not a rejecter of it.
