Verse35-36

(35) يا بَنِي آدَمَ إِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آياتِي فَمَنِ اتَّقى‏ وَ أَصْلَحَ فَلا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

(36) وَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِ‏آياتِنا وَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْها أُولئِكَ أَصْحابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيها خالِدُونَ

35. " O children of Adam ! When there come to you Messengers from among you relating to you My signs, (follow them). Then whoever guards (against evil) and amends (himself) - no fear shall be upon them nor shall they grieve."
36. " And those who belie Our Signs and turn away from them with arrogance - these are the inhabitants of the Fire, wherein shall they abide forever."

Commentary :
Addressing the children of Adam wholly, the verse describes that if some prophets come to you, who are of the same creation as you, in order to recite Allah's revelations to you and to aware you of His commandments, whoever keeps from evil and does not belie them, and improves his deeds and characteristics, there will be no fear upon him in this world nor any grief in the Hereafter. The verse says :
" O children of Adam ! When there come to you Messengers from among you relating to you My signs, (follow them). Then whoever guards (against evil) and amends (himself) - no fear shall be upon them nor shall they grieve."

Then, immediately after that, the Qur'an adds that the persons who belie Allah's revelations and arrogantly do not accept them, will abide in Hell Fire for ever. The verse says :
" And those who belie Our Signs and turn away from them with arrogance - These are the inhabitants of the Fire, wherein shall they abide forever."
Explanations :
1. Coming prophets one after another, is Allah's way of treatment, which had been planned before. The secret of the effect and influence of their speech is that they are from among people themselves.
2. The real believers in the prophets' invitations are those who are virtuous and amend themselves.
3. Peacefulness comes forth under the light of Faith and piety.
4. The consequence of belying prophets arrogantly, and rejecting their invitations, is the everlasting punishment and Hell.
