English Translation of Al-Quran
[40].Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) also known as Surah Ghafir [The Forgiver]
Ayat 69. See you not those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah? How are they turning away (from the truth, i.e. Islamic Monotheism to the falsehood of polytheism)?
Ayat 70. Those who deny the Book (this Qur’an), and that with which Allah sent Our Messengers (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone sincerely, and to reject all false deities and to confess resurrection after the death for recompense) they will come to know (when they will be cast into the Fire of Hell).
Ayat 71. When iron collars will be rounded over their necks, and the chains, they shall be dragged along.
Ayat 72. In the boiling water, then they will be burned in the Fire.
Tafseer of Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) 69 to 72. Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Signs of Allah. How are they turned away (from Reality)? Those who dispute about the Signs of Allah which are clear to all who care to see, are merely in the mists of Unreality: Cf. 10:32. Ayat 70. Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers: but soon shall they know, “The Book” may refer to the Holy Qur’an or to the fundamental Revelation, the “Mother of the Book” (13:39 ), while the Books revealed to the messengers are the definite Revelations that came down to men from time to time. Ayat 71. When the yokes (shall be) round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along. The rejection of Allah’s Message, however brought, carries its own penalty. The yoke of spiritual slavery to Sin and Evil is fastened more and more firmly round the rejecter’s neck, because there is no one to safeguard his freedom, and the chains of superstitions and the ugly consequences of evil restrict his freedom and the limited faculty of choice which was given by Allah to man. This process receives its climax at the Hour of Judgment. Ayat 72. In the boiling fetid fluid; then in the Fire shall they be burned; The sinner gets dragged further and further in the disgusting consequences of his evil actions, until the fire of destruction closes in upon him.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “When the Children of Israel became sinful, their learned men prohibited them but they would not turn back. Yet, the learned men associated with them and ate and drank with them. So, they were cursed at the tongues of Dawud and `Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), because they were disobedient and were given to transgression.” At this stage Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) who was reclining on a pillow sat up and said, “No, By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, there is no escape for you but you persuade them to act justly.”
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 3047 & 3048].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mumin Ayat 70. Those who deny the Book (this Qur’an), and that with which Allah sent Our Messengers” This Hadith tells us that the duty of `Ulama’ is to check the people from vice and if, in spite of all their efforts people do not abandon them, they should avoid associating with them because it is a matter of religious reverence and vanity. If they do not do it, they will also be cursed like the disobedient lot. May Allah save us from this negligence.
