وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمۡ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يُقۡضَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ فَيَمُوتُواْ وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِهَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي كُلَّ كَفُورٖ ٣٦ ﴿36
36As for those who disbelieve, for them shall be the fire of Jahannam; neither they will be sentenced to death, so that they could die, nor will its torment be lightened for them. It is in this way that We punish every infidel.

Commentary

And when He clarified what they are in of the blessing; He clarified what is for their enemies of the punishment; an increase in their joy for what they have endured in this world; from their arrogance towards them; and their wickedness; He said: ﴿And those who disbelieved﴾; meaning: they concealed what their minds indicated of the suns of the signs; and the lights of the indications; ﴿For them is the fire of Hell﴾; meaning: for their frowning at the allies of Allah; the callers to Him; And when the nature of fire is to destroy whoever enters it quickly; He clarified that its state is not like that; an increase in their punishment; and the bad outcome for them; He said - resuming -: ﴿It will not be judged﴾; meaning: it will not be ruled; and executed; and established by a judge what ﴿is upon them﴾; meaning: by death; ﴿So they die﴾; meaning: it will cause their death from the judgment; And if you refer to what has passed in the Surah of 'Subhan' from His saying: ﴿So they will not possess the power to remove the harm from you﴾ [Al-Isra: 56]; and what will come, if Allah wills, in 'Al-Mursalat' from His saying: ﴿And they will not be permitted to excuse themselves﴾ [Al-Mursalat: 36]; you will know the secret of the necessity of the establishment here; because if it were raised, the meaning would be that their death should occur if it is judged against them; or if it is not judged; and that is impossible.

And when the hardships in this world ease; even if their duration is long; He said: ﴿And it will not be lightened for them﴾; and He emphasized the negation by saying: ﴿from its punishment﴾; meaning: Hell; And when it may be that someone might think that this punishment is specific to those who were in his time ﷺ from the disbelievers; He said: ﴿Thus﴾; meaning: like this great recompense; ﴿We reward﴾; meaning: by what we have of greatness - according to the reading of the congregation; with the 'n'; ﴿every disbeliever﴾; meaning: by him ﷺ; or by others from the prophets - peace be upon them -; even if he did not see it; because the establishment of the miracle is equal in hearing and sight; And Abu Amr built the action for the object; indicating its ease; and its facilitation; and he raised 'every'.
