Transliteration:( Thumma qeela lil lazeena zalamoo zooqoo 'azaabal khuldi hal tujzawna illaa bimaa kuntum taksiboon )
147. This would be said to the infidels on the Day of Judgement and not in
their graves; because the punishment of the grave is not eternal. For this
reason the word 'then' has been used here. Thus to use this verse as a
proof to substantiate that the punishment of the grave holds no importance
is incorrect.
148. From this emerge two issues:
1.On the Day of Judgement the infidels would be punished for not doing
good deeds as well as for committing sins as is being understood from
"used to earn" because in terms of punishment they are accountable for
their deeds. Says Allah Almighty: "They said we used to offer prayer"
(S74:V43)
2. The minor children of the infidels will not be subjected to punishment,
because the word but' explains that punishment will be meted out due to
evil deeds or infidelity.
