Surah Al-Infitar 82:18

The Reward of the Righteous &the Sinners Allah informs of what the righteous will receive of delight

They are those who obeyed Allah and did not meet Him with disobedience (sins). Then He mentions that the evildoers will be in Hell and eternal torment. Due to this He says,

(Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,) meaning, the Day of Reckoning, Recompense, and Judgement.

(And they will not be absent therefrom.) meaning, they will not be absent for even one hour from the torment. The torment will not be lightened from them, nor will they be granted the death that they will be requesting, or any rest -- not even for a single day. Allah then says,

(And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is) This is a magnification of the affair of the Day of Judgement. Then Allah affirms it by saying,

(Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is) Then He explains this by saying,

((It will be) the Day when no person shall have power for another, ) meaning, no one will be able to benefit anyone else, or help him out of that which he will be in, unless Allah gives permission to whomever He wishes and is pleased with. We will mention here a Hadith (where the Prophet said),

(O children of Hashim! Save yourselves from the Fire, for I have no power to cause you any benefit from Allah.) This has been mentioned previously at the end of the Tafsir of Surat Ash-Shu`ara' (see 26:214). Thus, Allah says,

(and the Decision, that Day, will be with Allah.) "By Allah, the Decision is for Allah today (now), but on that Day no one will try to dispute with Him about it." This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Infitar. All praise and blessings are due to Allah, and He is the Giver of success and freedom from error.

Dalam ayat 17 dan 18, Allah bertanya kepada Nabi dan kaumnya apakah mereka tahu apa hari pembalasan itu? Pertanyaan ini bukan meminta jawaban, tetapi celaan bagi orang-orang yang tidak mau percaya pada hari pembalasan ini. Apakah semua informasi dan tanda yang dipaparkan Al-Qur'an belum cukup untuk membuat mereka percaya?

Allah kemudian menjelaskan dalam ayat 19 bahwa di hari perhitungan tidak ada manusia yang bisa menolong orang lain. Orang tua tidak bisa menolong anaknya dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Suami tidak bisa menolong istrinya, dan teman atau sahabat tidak bisa menolong temannya. Semua sibuk dengan diri masing-masing. Segala urusan pada hari itu berada di tangan Allah. Yang bisa menolong manusia hanyalah amalnya. Firman Allah:

Dan bahwa manusia hanya memperoleh apa yang telah diusahakannya, dan sesungguhnya usahanya itu kelak akan diperlihatkan (kepadanya). (an-Najm/53: 39-40)

Dan firman-Nya lagi:

Dan tidak ada (lagi) baginya segolongan pun yang dapat menolongnya selain Allah; dan dia pun tidak akan dapat membela dirinya. (al-Kahf/18: 43)
