PT. 16 MARYAM CH. 19 وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إلى جَهَنَّمَ وِرُدَّان And We shall drive the. 87 guilty to Hell like a herd of thirsty camels. 2226 لَا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ None will have the power. 88 عِنْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًان of intercession save he who has received a promise from the Gracious God. 2227 "39:72. 2:49; 20: 110; 21:29; 34:24; 39:45; 43:87; 53:27; 74:49. both be individual and collective. Immediately after its departure from the physical body the human soul begins to taste of the fruits of the works, good or bad, a man might have done in this world. This state of the soul is known by its individual resurrection in which its experience of the reward or punishment, as the case may be, of the next life is partial and incomplete. The Resurrection on the Last Day, however, will be collective when the whole of mankind will be brought before God's Judgement Seat. Then the realization by the soul of its state of bliss or punishment will be complete. That will be the final Resurrection. The significance of the verse as is clear from many sayings of the Holy Prophet, is that there will be great confusion and bewilderment on the Day of Resurrection. But immediately after the initial shock the righteous will regain their composure and peace of mind and will be honoured with the gift of God's favours and blessings. 2226.

The expression drive the sinners come to water to (Lane & Aqrab). Commentary: means, We will like beasts who slake their thirst Here the word (We shall drive) has been used about the sinners and means that they will be driven to Hell against their wish. But this word has also been used in the Quran about the righteous believers (39:74). But in that verse the word has been used in the sense of being conducted or carried. If, however, in 39:74 the word were taken to have been used in the sense of driving, then it would apply to the beasts which the righteous will be riding to go to Paradise and thus the meaning would be that the beasts which the righteous will be riding will be driven to Paradise. 2227.
