ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّٰمٍۢ لِّلْعَبِيدِ

Tafsir

Ibn Kathīr (abridged)

The Angels smite the Disbelievers upon capturing Their Souls

Allah says, if you witnessed the angels capturing the souls of the disbelievers, you would witness a tremendous, terrible, momentous and awful matter,

يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَدْبَـرَهُمْ

(they smite their faces and their backs), saying to them,

وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ الْحَرِيقِ

("Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire.")
