Translation
(52) On that Day He will say to them, ‘Call on those whom you thought to be My partners.’ And they will call on them, but their prayer will not be heard; and We shall place a barrier [of enmity] between them. (53) The guilty shall see the Fire and realize that they are going to fall into it: they shall find no way of escape from it.
Commentary
(b) The leaders on whose backing man denies the Truth in this world will not be helpful to him on Doomsday. Today, they are each other’s companions, but when realities are revealed, they will start hating each other. It will appear as if a deadly barrier has come between them. In the present world they consider themselves safe and secure, but on Doomsday they are fated to find themselves standing on the threshold of Hell, unable to find an escape from it.
