Surah Al Qiyamah Tafseer

Does man think that he will be left neglected

As-Suddi said, "Meaning not resurrected."

Mujahid, Ash-Shafi`i and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam, all said,

"Meaning, he will not be commanded and prohibited."

Apparently the Ayah includes both meanings.

- This means that he will not be left neglected in this worldly life, without being commanded and prohibited.

- He also will not be left neglected in his grave unattended to without being resurrected.

Rather he will be commanded and prohibited in this life, and gathered back to Allah in the abode of the Hereafter.

The intent here is to affirm the existence of the abode of the final return and to refute whoever rejects it from the people of deviance, ignorance and stubbornness. Thus, Allah uses the beginning of creation as a proof for the repetition of the creation in His saying,

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى
