Surah An Nahl Tafseer

وَإِذَا رَأى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ

nor will they be allowed (to return to the world) to repent and ask for Allah's forgiveness. And once those who did wrong see,

meaning those who associated others in worship with Allah,

الْعَذَابَ فَلَ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ

the torment, it will not decrease for them,

meaning it will not be reduced for them even for a moment.

وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ

nor will they be given respite.

meaning, it will not be delayed for them, rather they will be taken quickly from the place of gathering, with no calling to account.

Then Hell will be brought forth, pulled by seventy thousand ropes, each of which is held by seventy thousand angels, and a neck will stretch forth from Hell towards the people, and it will expel a gust of hot air. No one will be left but will fall to his knees.

Then it (the neck that is stretched forth) will say, "I have been entrusted to deal with every stubborn, arrogant one who joined another god with Allah," and so and so, mentioning different types of people, as was reported in the Hadith.

Then it will come down upon them and pick them up from where they are standing as a bird picks up a seed.

Allah says:

إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِّن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُواْ لَهَا تَغَيُّظاً وَزَفِيراً

وَإَذَا أُلْقُواْ مِنْهَا مَكَاناً ضَيِّقاً مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْاْ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُوراً

لااَّ تَدْعُواْ الْيَوْمَ ثُبُوراً وَحِداً وَادْعُواْ ثُبُوراً كَثِيراً

When it (Hell) sees them from a far place, they will hear its raging and its roaring. And when they are thrown into a narrow part of it, chained together, they will cry for destruction.

Today, do not scream for one destruction, but scream repeatedly for destruction. (25:12-14)

وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّواْ أَنَّهُمْ مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُواْ عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا

And the guilty shall see the Fire and apprehend that they are about to fall into it. And they will find no way to avoid it. (18:53)

لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ النَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

بَلْ تَأْتِيهِم بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ

If only those who disbelieved knew (about the time) when they will not be able to protect their faces nor their backs from the Fire, and they have no help.

Nay, it (the Fire) will come upon them all of a sudden and will perplex them, and they will have no power to avert it nor will they have any respite. (21:39-40)

The gods of the Idolators will disown Them at the Time when They need them most

Then Allah tells us that their gods will disown them when they need them most.

He says
