Tafsir Ibnu Katsir

- فَلاَ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَـرِقِ وَالْمَغَـرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـدِرُونَ - عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْراً مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُواْ وَيَلْعَبُواْ حَتَّى يُلَـقُواْ يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الاٌّجْدَاثِ سِرَاعاً كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ خَـشِعَةً أَبْصَـرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِى كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

36. So, what is the matter with those disbelievers, before you Muhti`in 37. On the right and on the left, `Izin. 38. Does every man of them hope to enter the Paradise of Delight 39. But no! Verily, We have created them out of that which they know! 40. But no! I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that surely We are Able 41. To replace them by (others) better than them; and We are not to be outrun. 42. So, leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they meet their Day which they are promised. 43. The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as racing to a Nusub, 44. With their eyes lowered in fear and humility, ignominy covering them (all over)! That is the Day which they were promised! Allah rebukes the disbelievers who, in the time of the Prophet , saw him and the guidance Allah sent him with. They witnessed the magnificent miracles Allah aided him with. Then, after all of this they fled from him and separated themselves from him. They fled right and left, group by group and party by party. This is as Allah says,
