(128) وَ يَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعاً يا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُمْ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ وَ قالَ أَوْلِياؤُهُمْ
مِنَ الْإِنْسِ رَبَّنَا اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنا بِبَعْضٍ وَ بَلَغْنا أَجَلَنَا الَّذِي أَجَّلْتَ لَنا قالَ النَّارُ مَثْواكُمْ
خالِدِينَ فِيها إِلاَّ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
128. " And on the day He musters all together, (addressing the Satans of jinn, He says:) ' O' assembly of jinn ! you took away a great part of mankind.' And their friends from among the human beings will say : ' O' our Lord ! Some of us profited by others and we have reached our term which You had assigned for us.' He will say : 'The fire is your abode, to remain in it (forever), except that Allah wills (to forgive some of you)'. Verily your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing."
Commentary :
Following the former matters, the Qur'an says :
" And on the day He musters all together, (addressing the Satans of jinn, He says:) ' O' assembly of jinn ! you took away a great part of mankind.'..."
Then those of human beings who had followed them will say that they profited from each other. The verse says :
"... And their friends from among the human beings will say : ' O' our Lord ! some of us profited by others ..."
The interest that the jinns have benefited from human beings is that they have been their chiefs and masters and those human beings have obeyed their low desires and lusts. The interest that human beings have benefited from jinns is that the jinns have ornamented the vain pleasures and lusts before their eyes and have made them amused by these apparently fair things.
"... and we have reached our term which You had assigned for us.'..."
This part of the verse means that they say: ' We have reached the death You had appointed for us.'
Some commentators say that the purpose of this statement is to point to the resurrection of the dead in Hereafter.
"... He will say: ' The Fire is your abode, to remain in it (forever), ..."
Addressing such people, Allah says that Hell Fire is their dwelling place and they will remain in punishment there forever.
Returning from Fire is an exception which refers to guilty Muslims. If He pleases, He will punish them; and if He wills, He will forgive them by His grace.
At the end of the verse, the Qur'an says that Allah is Wise in His affairs, and He knows every thing.
"... Verily your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing."
