Transliteration:( Qaaloo Rabbanaaa amat tanasnataini wa ahyaitanas nataini fa'tarafnaa bizunoo binaa fahal ilaa khuroojim min sabeel )
30. The commentary of this verse is the following verse: "Whereas you were dead, He gave you life, then will cause you to die, then again will He give you life"(S2:V28).
31 . This would be its reply. Now neither will your repentance be accepted, nor is there any way for you to go out of Hell. From this, we understand that even if the sinful believer will be sent into Hell, he will come out of it through the intercession of the pious.
The tafsir of Surah Muminun verse 11 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 10 which provides the complete commentary from verse 10 through 14.
(40:11) They will say: “Our Lord, twice have You caused us to die and twice have You given us life.[15] We have now confessed our sins.[16] Is there, then, any way out?”[17]
15. This same thing has already been mentioned in (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 28). It implies this: How can you disbelieve in Allah? He granted you life when you were lifeless; then He will give you death and then will again raise you back to life. The disbelievers do not deny the first three of these conditions, because they are perceptible and therefore un-deniable. But they refuse to accept the occurrence of the fourth condition, for they have not yet experienced it, and only the Prophets have foretold it. On the Day of Resurrection when the fourth condition will also be practically experienced by them, then they will acknowledge that the same which the Prophets had foretold had actually happened.
16. That is, we confess that we made a grave mistake when we denied this after life; our life was filled with sins when we followed falsehood.
17. That is, is there any possibility now that our confession of sins be accepted and we be rescued from this state of torment in which we have been seized?
