Wa annal lazeena laa yu'minoona bil aakhirati a'tadnaa lahum 'azaaban aleemaa (section 1)
And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter [29], We have prepared for them a painful torment.
29. “Those who do not believe in the Hereafter”
This refers to different categories of denial regarding the afterlife:
Complete Denial – Such as the polytheists, who reject the concept of resurrection, judgment, Paradise, and Hell altogether.
Incorrect Belief – Such as some Christians, who believe in Paradise but deny many of its real bounties as described in divine revelation.
Partial Rejection – Like those who deny key aspects of the Hereafter, such as the intercession (shafa'ah) of the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
All these are treated as forms of rejection of the true Hereafter as revealed by Allah.
For such people, Allah declares: a painful torment has already been prepared — affirming its certainty and inevitability.
