English Translation of Al-Quran
[40].Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) also known as Surah Ghafir [The Forgiver]
Ayat 47. And, when they will dispute in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant; “Verily! We followed you, can you then take from us some portion of the Fire?”
Ayat 48. Those who were arrogant will say: “We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily Allah has judged between (His) slaves!”
Tafseer of Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) Ayat 47. Behold, they will dispute with each other in the Fire! The weak ones (who followed) will say to those who had been arrogant, “We but followed you: Can ye then take (on yourselves) from us some share of the Fire? Just as Unity, Harmony, and Peace are symbols of Truth, Bliss, and Salvation, so Reproaches, Disputes, and Disorders are symbols of Hell. Ayat 48. Those who had been arrogant will say: “We are all in this (Fire)! Truly, Allah has judged between (his) Servants!” Note the evasion and cynicism of the answer, befitting the character of spiritual misleaders! ‘What! are we not suffering with you in the same Fire! Pray to Allah if you like! He has pronounced His Judgment!’ Cf. 14:21-22..
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and will be cast into Hell, and his intestines will pour forth and he will go round them as a donkey goes round a millstone. The inmates of Hell will gather round him and say: `What has happened to you, O so-and-so? Were you not enjoining us to do good and forbidding us to do evil?’ He will reply: `I was enjoining you to do good, but was not doing it myself; and I was forbidding you to do evil, but was doing it myself”.
[Al-Bukhari Book 04, Chapter 54, Hadith # 489].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mumin Ayat. 48. Those who were arrogant will say: “We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily Allah has judged between (His) slaves!” This Hadith serves a stern warning for such `Ulama’, preachers so called scholars and reformers of the Ummah whose own conduct is contrary to the sermons they give from the pulpit.
