Day 170 · Surah Maryam Verses 65-76

Maryam 65–76

Mankind's doubts about the Day of Resurrection are answered by the reality that they were nothing before creation, then the gathering around Hell is described and the objection to the arrogance of the wrongdoers about their dwellings.

Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; therefore He is worshipped and obeyed with full patience for there is nothing like unto Him.
Many people doubt the Day of Resurrection, though before they were created they were nothing at all.
The disbelievers and Satan are gathered around Hell in a state of kneeling, then the most rebellious from every group is drawn forth first.
Those with God-consciousness are saved from the Fire of Hell, while the wrongdoers who boast of their dwellings and meeting places are left kneeling.
They are reminded that previous nations whose wealth and furnishings were more luxurious have been destroyed, and it will later be known who is in an inferior position.

Verses 65-76 explain the following:

Allah is the Creator of the heavens and earth and all that is between them. Therefore worship and obey Him with full patience, for nothing will equal Him.
Many people doubt the Day of Resurrection, though before Allah created them they were nothing. Those who disbelieve and Satan will certainly be gathered at the gathering around Hell in a state of kneeling. Then Allah will draw the most rebellious to Him from every group among them. Allah knows best who among them will be cast into Hell first.
Allah will certainly save those with God-consciousness from the Fire of Hell and leave the wrongdoers kneeling before Him. The wrongdoers are those who disbelieve in Allah's revelation and boast that their dwellings and meeting places are better than those of the believers. Has Allah not destroyed various nations before them whose dwellings and household furnishings were better and more costly than what they possess?
Allah commands the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to make clear to those misguided people that one day (the time of calamity or the Last Hour) they will know who will be in an inferior and weak position. Allah will grant a good reward and good end to those who believe and do righteous deeds.
