Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Yunus 10:45

Word by word

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَأَن لَّمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ

And on the Day when He will gather them, [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] but an hour of the day, [and] they will know each other. Those will have lost who denied the meeting with Allāh and were not guided.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

ويوم يَحشر الله هؤلاء المشركين يوم البعث والحساب، كأنهم قبل ذلك لم يمكثوا في الحياة الدنيا إلا قدر ساعة من النهار، يعرف بعضهم بعضًا كحالهم في الدنيا، ثم انقطعت تلك المعرفة وانقضت تلك الساعة. قد خسر الذين كفروا وكذَّبوا بلقاء الله وثوابه وعقابه، وما كانوا موفَّقين لإصابة الرشد فيما فعلوا.
