This was the revelation which Prophet -saww delivered to them and also told them about the ‘special day’ when the signs of Allah -azwj will be made visible but then it will be too late for anyone to embrace faith, unless he/she had ‘Eman’ on ‘them’ -asws prior to observing those Signs, implying, having no faith prior to seeing them (as they were given an opportunity before but now they will find no other option but to embrace Eman).
One of the signs of that day will be that the Sun will rise from the West. But the second sign will be of severe Wrath which will be beyond belief, meaning the destruction they will face, which will gradually find its way into their hearts and destabilise them, through their own created rules, which will be unbearable and very painful.
Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : Allah -azwj Says : They disbelieve that they will be brought back to life after death (32:10), and also Allah -azwj Says [25] : Those who firmly believe that they will return back to their Lord (2:46) and Allah -azwj Says: Thus those believe in meeting with their Rab should keep on carrying out the good deeds (18:110), Allah -azwj here, has used the word لِقَاءَ for seeing after resurrection, similarly Allah -azwj Says [26] : For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the term (appointed) by Allah is surely coming and He hears and knows (all things).
In this verse لِقَاءَ does not mean to see Him -azwj but to meet Him -azwj after resurrection. And similarly (Allah -azwj ): ‘ Upon meeting with their Lord , it merely increased them in faith and submission (33:22) [27] It means they will not loose their Eman upon being brought back to life. Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : Allah -azwj Says: Sinners will see the Fire and think they are going to fall into it.
They will not find any way to avert it (18:53), it means be assured they will for sure enter into the hell fire. And Allah -azwj also Says (for Momineen): ‘I always thought that I would face my reckoning (69:20) [28] but for munafiqeen Allah -azwj Says: They have different hallucination about Allah (33:10) [29] which is of doubts and not of faith. Beliefs are of two kinds, the infirm perceptions and the firm faith.
The perceptions about the hereafter are included in firm faith but the hopes about this world are in the category of fantasy and delusion.
