Sad 38:59
The Letter "Saad" · Meccan · Juz 23 · Page 456
No Welcome
هَٰذَا فَوۡجࣱ مُّقۡتَحِمࣱ مَّعَكُمۡ لَا مَرۡحَبَۢا بِهِمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ صَالُواْ ٱلنَّارِ ٥٩
Here is an army rushing blindly with you. (Those who are already in the Fire say): No word of welcome for them. Lo! they will roast at the Fire.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“This is a company bursting in with you; no welcome for them.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is what the arrogant leaders say as they enter Hell with their followers; “iqtiham” is forcing one’s way in.
Reflect
Be careful whom you follow.
