(106) يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهٌ وَتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ اسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَكَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ فَذُوقُواْ الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ
" On the Day when some faces will turn while some faces will turn black! Then as to those whose faces turn black (will be said): ' Did you disbelieve after your believing ? Taste, then, the chastisement for that you were disbelieving ! "
Commentary:
The idea mentioned in this verse upon the white faces and the black faces on the Day of Judgement, perhapse is, in fact, the illustration of the very states and spiritualities of people.
Those who have accepted the mastership of Allah in this world, He takes them from darkness into Light, and, on that Day, they will arrive there with bright features. But those who have followed the mastership of false gods, these gods take them from Light into the darkness of desires, separation, polytheism and ignorance. These persons will be raised black in darkness on the Day of Resurrection.
In the Qur'an, sixteen times infidelity is mentioned after Faith, two times after Islam, and three times calf-worship after theism, twenty seven times denial after knowledge and evidence. All of these instances are illustrative to danger and serves as an earnest warning for all of us.
" On the Day when some faces will turn while some faces will turn black! Then as to those whose faces turn black (will be said): ' Did you disbelieve after your believing ? Taste, then, the chastisement for that you were disbelieving ! "
