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.
8. 1. In that case, on the Day of Resurrection there would have been only one group, that is, the people of faith and the people of Paradise. But Allah's wisdom and will did not like this compulsion; rather, to test human beings, He gave them the freedom of will and choice. Whoever used this freedom correctly became deserving of Allah's mercy, and whoever misused it committed injustice by using the freedom and choice given by Allah in disobedience to Allah Himself. Thus, such wrongdoers will have no helper on the Day of Resurrection.
