84.From this we learn that on the Day of Judgement both the believers and the infidels would be distinguished from their faces Says Allah Almighty "The culprits shall be recognized by their faces". (S55:V41) Further Allah Almighty says: "When some faces will be bright and some will be dark". (S3:V106).

27. And those who have earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is the like thereof, and humiliating disgrace will cover them (their faces). No defender will they have from Allah. Their faces will be covered as it were with pieces from the darkness of night. They are the dwellers of the Fire, they will abide therein forever.

(and will cover them) meaning that their faces will be covered and overtaken by humiliation because of their sins and their fear from these sins. Similarly Allah said:
(And you will see them brought forward to it, (Hell) made humble by disgrace.)﴿42:45﴾ He also said:
(Consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the wrongdoers do, but He gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror. (They will be) hastening forward with necks outstretched, their heads raised up (towards the sky).)﴿14:42 – 43﴾ Allah then said:
(No defender will they have from Allah.) meaning, there will be no protectors to prevent them from punishment as Allah said:
(On that Day man will say: “Where (is the refuge) to flee” No! There is no refuge! Unto your Lord (alone) will be the place of rest that Day.)﴿75:10-12﴾ Allah’s statement:
(Their faces will be covered as it were…) means that their faces will be dark in the Hereafter. This is similar to His statement:
(On the Day (the Day of Resurrection) when some faces will become white and some faces will become black; as for those whose faces will become black (to them will be said): “Did you reject faith after accepting it Then taste the torment (in Hell) for rejecting faith.” And for those whose faces will become white, they will be in Allah’s mercy (Paradise), therein they shall dwell forever.)﴿3:106-107﴾ He also said:
(Some faces that Day will be bright, laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). And other faces that Day will be dust-stained. )﴿80:38-40﴾
(10:27) Those who do evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is its like,[34] and humiliation shall spread over them and there will be none to protect them from Allah. Darkness will cover their faces as though they were veiled with the dark blackness of night.[35] These are the people of the Fire and in it they shall abide.
