Translation
(33) But when the deafening blast is sounded, (34) on that Day a man shall flee from his own brother, (35) his mother, his father, (36) his wife and his sons: (37) on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own— (38) on that Day some faces will be beaming, (39) laughing, and rejoicing, (40) but some faces will be covered with dust (41) and overcast with gloom: (42) those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity.
Commentary
(b) Rejection of truth and being arrogant about it are the worst crimes. Arrogant people will have absolutely no personal worth in the Hereafter, while those who accept the Truth and bow down before it are the ones who will carry weight in the Hereafter. The honour and successes of the Hereafter will be theirs.
