English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
He said, ‘Begone! and whoso shall follow thee from among them, Hell shall surely be the recompense of you all — an ample recompense.
English - Five Volume Translation
[a]He said, ‘Begone! and whoso shall follow thee from among them, Hell shall surely be the recompense of you all— an ample recompense.[1993]
7:19; 15:43-44; 38:86.
Commentary:
The verse shows that the punishment of Hell will be mental and not physical. Punishment can suit every individual case only if it is mental. No two men’s mental condition is exactly alike, and if punishment be external, the same punishment cannot suit every case. It can do so only if it be mental and everybody should receive punishment according to the condition of his mind. Just as all kinds of trees receive their sustenance from the earth according to their particular needs and natures, similarly all sinners will suffer the torment of Hell according to their mental condition.
