Overall meaning : The dwellers of Paradise will call out to the dwellers of Hell after each of them have settled in their eternal abodes, saying, 'Now we have found that what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you, too, found the promise of your Lord to be true?’ Yes,’ they will reply, and a herald will cry out between them, 'The curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers, who turned away from Islam in the life of the world and turned others away from it, strove hard to make Islam—Allah’s path—look crooked and not straight so that people would not follow it, and who disbelieved in the life to come.’
The Almighty then states that there will be a great barrier between Paradise and Hell, which will prevent the dwellers of Hell to get over to Paradise, and on this high dividing wall separating them there will be men—whose good and evil actions will be equal on the scale of deeds. They will recognise the dwellers of Paradise and the dwellers of Hell by the marks of joy or misery on their faces, and they will greet the dwellers of Paradise, saying, 'Peace be upon you.’ They will not have yet entered Paradise, but they will be longing to enter it by Allah’s grace. And when Allah turns their eyes towards the dwellers of Hell and they see the punishment to which they will be subjected, they will pray to Allah, saying, 'Our Lord, do not place us in the Fire among the wrongdoers.’
They will call out to men they recognised to be leaders of unbelief and ascribing partners to Allah in the life of the world and whom they will recognise by the marks of misery of the faces of Hell-dwellers, disapprovingly saying, 'What you amassed was of no use to you, nor was your scornful pride and arrogance.’ Then, pointing to the dwellers of Paradise from among the poor and oppressed, they will further ask them, 'Are these whom Allah has admitted into Paradise the ones you swore in the life of the world would never earn Allah’s mercy?’ It will then be said to those on the dividing wall between Paradise and Hell, 'Enter Paradise. You will have nothing whatsoever to fear in the hereafter, nor will you grieve for whatever you have left behind in the life of the world.’
