35. 1. The polytheists of Makkah used to say that if the Day of Judgment occurs, even there we will be better than the Muslims, just as in this world we are more prosperous than the Muslims. In response to them, Allah Almighty said, how is this possible that We would make the Muslims, that is, Our obedient servants, like the criminals, that is, the disobedient ones? The meaning is that it can never happen that Allah Almighty, against justice and fairness, would make both equal.
