Prophet Mohammed -saww has explained the meanings of the former verse; ‘Are they expecting that angels would visit them or their Lord or His ‘Ayat’ (Symbols), that the hypocrites and infidels were hoping that angels would visit them so that they can see them. Whereas the meanings of ‘Their Lord would come to them or His Signs’ is that they (incorrectly) expected to receive direct ‘Amr’ (Commandments) of Allah -azwj and/or His ‘Ayat’ (Symbols).

As, Allah -azwj ‘s Wrath on them, in this world, will be similar to the ones which were faced by the other nations in the past, as it had descended on ‘Qaroon’. And Allah -azwj Says: Don’t you see that we trim down the earth from its sides, We, then, bring it back to its original shape, meaning that whoever is killed by Allah -azwj between ‘Qurn and Haqrn’ [92] it is registered as ‘Atiyan’ [93] .

And Allah -azwj Says: ‘Allah may kill them, they are running away’ this means Allah -azwj rebuke them with the curses, but using the word ‘kill them’ . Similarly, (Allah -azwj Says) ‘ Allah may kill those who are unthankful’ [94] here unthankful people are admonished. And Allah -azwj Says: ‘ Thus Allah has killed them and not you, and Allah had tossed towards them handful of dust instead of yourself’ [95] here the actions of His -azwj Prophet -saww have been referred to Him -azwj .

Again, don’t you see the interpretation of these Verses is, in fact, against their superficial meanings, (as one would try to infer). And Says: ‘Instead they reject the fact that they will ever face their Lord’ [96] here مبعوثون refers to اللقاء (meeting) and similarly Allah -azwj Says: And those who expect to be resurrected to meet their Lord’ , meaning, they believe that they will be brought back to life (in the hereafter).

Here, one can see, those who do not believe in the resurrection, say, if they will ever ‘be resurrected whereas for Momineen the word ‘Alaqa’ (meeting) have been used, for Kafir the word ‘Bayas’ means to see (for Momineen it is to believe).

But when some of the Kafirs’ false beliefs reach the level of certainty, for this Allah -azwj Says: ‘The criminals would see the other criminals in the fire and perceive that they are too in the fire.’ But for the Munafiqeen (hyprocrites) Allah -azwj Says: They have too much doubt regarding their Lord’, here they have the doubt which is comparable to the certainty of the Kafrs. Thus, the same word has completely opposite meanings as compared to its deep and implied meanings.
