(36) إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لِيَفْتَدُواْ بِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا تُقُبِّلَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
(37) يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَخْرُجُواْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا هُم بِخَارِجِينَ مِنْهَا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ
36. " Certainly those who disbelieve, if they had what is in the earth all together and the like of it with it, to ransom themselves with it from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it shall not be accepted from them, and for them there will be a painful chastisement.
37. " They would desire to get out from the Fire but they shall not get out of it, and for them there is a permanent chastisement."
Commentary:
To pursue the subject matter of the previous verse in which the believers are enjoined upon piety, holy struggle, and preparing the means, this verse, as the statement of reason for that commandment, points to the fate of unbelieving and filthy persons when it says:
" Certainly those who disbelieve, if they had what is in the earth all together and the like of it with it, to ransom themselves with it from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it shall not be accepted from them, and for them there will be a painful chastisement.
The only possible way to delivery is through Faith, piety, struggle, and good deeds.
Then, in the second verse (verse 37), the perpetuitity of this retribution is referred to. It says:
"They would desire to get out from the Fire but they shall not get out of it, and for them there is a permanent chastisement."
However, all the ways of deliverance are shut to the unbelievers. They enjoy of neither the grace of Allah, since it is specific to the pious ones, nor the intercession, because it relate only to those with whom Allah is pleased. There is no death therein for the disbelievers. They are permanently alive in the Fire of Hell, and their request for death is not accepted.
The person who does not come out from darkness of ignorance and infidelity in this world, where he has son many clear reasonings and guidance, will not come out of Hell in the Hereafter.
