Al-Qamar - An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an

Table of Contents

47. Indeed, sinners are in error and blazing flames.

48. The day when Hellfire shall burn their faces, it will be said unto them: "Taste Hellfire!"

49. Indeed, We have created all things in its proper measure.

The first twain blessed Verses treat of the torments of evil-doers and sinners who may be the disbelievers warned against torment in the preceding blessed Verse or it may generally allude to those who disobey God Almighty and Divine Signs.

In short, disbelievers shall be dragged into Hell and it shall be said unto them:

"Taste the heat and hardship of saqar, one of the levels of Hell.”

The third blessed Verse in question is saying that it may be imagined that theses torments are consistent with sins thus it further adds that God Almighty created everything in its due measure. Their excruciating torments in this world and the severe chastisements in the Hereafter and all creation are well measured.

The earth, the heaven, animate and inanimate beings, human limbs and organs, and all the means of life and sustenance have been created in due measure and there is nothing without measure in this world, since God Almighty is All-Wise and all His Acts are based on His Wisdom and Omniscience.
