Commentary
We will forget you and leave you in the punishment as you left the reminder of the meeting of this day, which is obedience. Or we will make you like something forgotten, disregarded, just as you disregarded the meeting of your day and did not think of it, like something that is cast aside and forgotten. If you say: What is the meaning of adding the meeting to the day? I say: It is like the meaning of adding the plot in His saying, 'But the plot of night and day' (Qur'an 10:21), meaning you forgot the meeting with Allah on this day and the meeting of His recompense. And it has been read: 'They will not be brought out,' with the 'ya' opened, and 'nor will they be asked to appease their Lord,' meaning they will not be asked to please Him.
