The Dispute of the People of Hell

Allah tells us how the people of Hell will dispute and argue with one another, and Fir`awn and his people will be among them. The weak, who were the followers, will say to those who were arrogant, who were the leaders and masters:

إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا

Read in Context

Chapter 40, Page 472, Juz 24

38. The believer said, ‘My people, follow me! I will guide you to the right path. 39. My people, the life of this world is only a brief enjoyment; it is the Hereafter that is the lasting home. 40. Whoever does evil will be repaid with its like; whoever does good and believes, be it a man or a woman, will enter Paradise and be provided for without measure. 41. My people, why do I call you to salvation when you call me to the Fire? 42. You call me to disbelieve in God and to associate with Him things of which I have no knowledge; I call you to the Mighty, the Forgiving One. 43. There is no doubt that what you call me to serve is not fit to be invoked either in this world or the Hereafter: our return is to God alone, and it will be the rebels who will inhabit the Fire. 44. [One Day] you will remember what I am saying to you now, so I commit my case to God: God is well aware of His servants.’ 45. So God saved him from the harm they planned. A terrible punishment engulfed Pharaoh’s people; 46. they will be brought before the Fire morning and evening. On the Day the Hour comes, it will be said, ‘Throw Pharaoh’s people into the worst torment.’ 47. In the Fire they will quarrel with one another: the weak will say to the haughty, ‘We were your followers, so can you now relieve us from some share of the Fire?’ 48. but they will say, ‘We are all in this together. God has judged between His creatures.’ 49. Those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, ‘Ask your Lord to lessen our suffering for one day,’ 50. but they will say, ‘Did your messengers not come to you with clear evidence of the truth?’ They will say, ‘Yes they did,’ and the keeper will say, ‘You can plead, then, but the pleas of disbelievers will always be in vain.’

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
