Tafsir Ibnu Katsir
وَقَالُواْ يوَيْلَنَا هَـذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ - هَـذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِى كُنتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ - احْشُرُواْ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزْوَجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ - مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَطِ الْجَحِيمِ - وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَّسْئُولُونَ - مَا لَكُمْ لاَ تَنَـصَرُونَ - بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
20. They will say: â€Woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense!'' 21. (It will be said:) â€This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny.'' 22. (It will be said to the angels:) Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions and what they used to worship, 23. Instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell); 24. But stop them, verily, they are to be questioned. 25. â€What is the matter with you Why do you not help one another'' 26. Nay, but that Day they shall surrender. Allah tells us what the disbeliever will say on the Day of Resurrection, how they will blame themselves and admit that they wronged themselves in this world. When they see the horrors of the Day of Resurrection with their own eyes, they will be filled with regret at the time when regret will not avail them anything.
