This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
39. 1. The Day of Judgment is called the Day of Regret because on that day everyone will feel regret. The evildoers will regret having committed sins, and the righteous will regret why they did not earn even more good deeds.
39. 2. That is, after the reckoning, the records will be folded up, and the people of Paradise will go to Paradise and the people of Hell will go to Hell. It is mentioned in a hadith that after this, death will be brought in the form of a ram and will be made to stand between Paradise and Hell. Both the people of Paradise and the people of Hell will be asked, "Do you recognize this? What is this?" They will say, "Yes, this is death." Then it will be slaughtered in front of them, and it will be announced: "O people of Paradise! For you, the life of Paradise is forever; now there will be no death." It will be said to the people of Hell: "O people of Hell! For you, the punishment of Hell is eternal; now there will be no death." (Sahih Bukhari)
