_Footnotes_
- [1] In this verse "wrongdoers" imply the people whom the
revelations of Allah and the teachings of His Prophet (peace
be upon him) may reach, yet they deliberately and
consciously decide that they would not obey and follow
them. This also includes those unjust people who may
plainly say that they do not accept the revelation as God’s
revelation and the Prophet as God’s Prophet, or that they
do not believe in God at all, and also those wicked people
who may not refuse to believe in God and the Prophet and
the Quran, but they are resolved not to obey and follow
them. As a matter of fact, both these groups are unjust and
wicked. As regards the first group, their case is clear and
obvious; but the second group is no less wicked; it is also
hypocritical and treacherous. Verbally, they say that they
believe in God and the Messenger and the Quran, but in
their hearts and minds they are resolved not to follow them,
and their practical conduct of life is also opposed to it.
About both Allah has declared that He has prepared for
them a painful torment. They might strut about in the
world, enjoy life as they like, boast and brag of their
superiority, but ultimately they will be subjected to a
disgraceful punishment; they cannot enter and enjoy
Allah’s mercy in any way.
