[38].Surah Suad
Ayat 61. They will say: “Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the Fire!”
Ayat 62. And they will say: “What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones?”
Ayat 63. Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?”
Ayat 64. Verily, that is the very truth, the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!
Tafseer of Surah Suad Ayat 61. They will say: “Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us,- Add to him a double Penalty in the Fire!” Cf. 7:38. See also 11:20. The evil ones now vent their spit on others. Here they ask for a double penalty for their misleaders, but they forget their own personal responsibility. In the next verse, they express their surprise that others have escaped the torments, which they themselves have earned. Ayat 62. And they will say: “What has happened to us that we see not men whom we used to number among the bad ones? The bad ones: i.e., the ones whom they (evil ones) ridiculed as fools sure to come to an evil end, because they refused to join in with the evil ones in their plots. The values are now reversed. The good ones are among the Blessed, and are to be seen in the ‘Bed of Misery’. The ridicule is now against the evil ones. Ayat 63. “Did we treat them (as such) in ridicule, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?” Ayat 64. Truly that is just and fitting, the mutual recriminations of the People of the Fire! The mutual recriminations and spite are themselves a part of the Penalty, for such feelings increase their unhappiness.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) was asked about the deed which will be foremost to lead a man to Jannah. He replied, “Fear of Allah and the good conduct.” Then he was asked about indulgence which will admit a man to Hell (Fire) and he answered, “The tongue and the genitals.”
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2004].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Suad Ayat 64. Verily, that is the very truth, the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!” This is also a very comprehensive Hadith. Fear of Allah really links up a man to Him, and moral refinement prevents him from falling short of his duties to people. To be sure, adherence to this two-fold practice will cause the entry of a lot of people to Jannah. Many a man, on the other hand, has a long, sharp and dangerous tongue and this causes him to pour out heretic utterances and indulge in backbiting, slandering and abusive and nonsensical talk. All this activity leads to Hell. As for genitals, an unwary and unrestrained attitude incites one to indulge in immoral pursuits. In both these cases countless people will be led into Hell. For this reason, it is imperative for everybody to develop Taqwa (consciousness of Allah / fear of Allah) and refined behavior and shun the wickedness of tongue and genitals so that his life in the Hereafter may not be ruined.
