Tafsir
Verse range: 23:105
Rebuking the People of Hell, their admission of Their Wretchedness and their Request to be brought out of Hell This is a rebuke from Allah to the people of Hell for the disbelief, sins, unlawful deeds and evil actions that they committed, because of which they were doomed. Allah says:
ألم تكن آياتي تتلى عليكم فكنتم بها تكذبون
"Were not My Ayat recited to you, and then you used to deny them!'' meaning, `I sent Messengers to you, and revealed Books, and cleared the confusion for you, so you have no excuse.' This is like the Ayat:
ليﻼ يكون للناس على الله حجة بعد الرسل
in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the Messengers. (4:165)
وما كنا معذبين حتى نبعث رسوﻻ
And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger. (17:15)
كلما ألقى فيها فوج سٲلهم خزنتها ألم يٲتكم نذير
Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask: "Did no warner come to you'' Until His saying;
فسحقا ﻻصحب السعير
(So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire!) (67:8-10)
