Surah Al Hashr Tafseer
Tafseer of Al-Hashr : 20
Saheeh International
Not equal are the companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise. The companions of Paradise - they are the attainers [of success].
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
لَاا يَسْتَوِي أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ
Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise.
meaning, these two categories of people are never the same with regards to the judgement of Allah, the Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection.
Allah said in other Ayat,
أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ اجْتَرَحُواْ السَّيِّيَـتِ أَن نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ سَوَاءً مَّحْيَـهُمْ وَمَمَـتُهُمْ سَأءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death Worst is the judgement that they make. (45:21),
and,
وَمَا يَسْتَوِى الاٌّعْـمَى وَالْبَصِيرُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ وَلَا الْمُسِىءُ قَلِيـلً مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ
And not equal are the blind and those who see; nor are those who believe and do righteous good deeds and those who do evil. Little do you remember! (40:58),
and,
أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ
Shall We treat those who believe and do righteous good deeds as corrupters on earth Or shall We treat those who have Taqwa as the wicked? (38:28)
Therefore, Allah asserts that He will honor the righteous and humiliate the sinners, and this is why He said here,
أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَايِزُونَ
It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful.
that is, they are those who will earn safety and deliverance from the torment of Allah the Exalted and Most Honored
