ﱜ ﱝ ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ ﱤ ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ ﱩ ﱪ ﱫ ﱬ
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
Tafsir
Verse range: 18:48
وعرضوا على ربك صفا
And they will be set before your Lord, aligned. This may mean that all of creation will stand before Allah in one row, as Allah says:
يوم يقوم الروح والمليكة صفا ﻻ يتكلمون إﻻ من أذن له الرحمن وقال صوابا
The Day that Ar-Ruh (Jibril) and the angels will stand aligned, they will not speak except him whom the Most Gracious (Allah) allows, and he will speak what is right); (78:38) or it may mean that they will stand in rows, as Allah says:
وجاء ربك والملك صفا صفا
And your Lord comes with the angels in rows. (89:22)
لقد جيتمونا كما خلقناكم أول مرة
Now indeed, you have come to Us as We created you the first time. This is a rebuke to those who denied the Hereafter, a reprimand before all creation. This is why Allah says to them:
بل زعمتم ألن نجعل لكم موعدا
Nay, but you thought that We had appointed no meeting for you (with Us)., meaning, you did not think that this would happen to you or that it would come to pass
