Surah Al Jathiyah Tafseer

وَقِيلَ الْيَوْمَ نَنسَاكُمْ

And it will be said:"This Day We will forget you..."

`We will treat you as if We have forgotten you, casting you in the fire of Jahannam,'

كَمَا نَسِيتُمْ لِقَاء يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا

as you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours.

`and did not work for it because you did not believe in its coming,'

وَمَأْوَاكُمْ النَّارُ

وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ

And your abode is the Fire, and there is none to help you.

فَيَقُولُ بَلَى يَارَبِّ

فَيَقُولُ أَفَظَنَنْتَ أَنَّكَ مُلَقِيَّ

فَيَقُولُ لَا

فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى فَالْيَوْمَ أَنْسَاكَ كَمَا نَسِيتَنِي

"Have I not given you a spouse, honored you and subjected the camels and horses to you?

Have I not allowed you to be a chief and a master?"

The servant will say in answer, "Yes, O Lord!"

Allah will say, "Did you think that you would ever meet Me?"

He will say, "No."

Allah the Exalted will say, "then this Day, I will forget you as you forgot Me."

Allah the Exalted said
