Tafsir
Scholars offer complementary perspectives
Every soul shall taste of death; you shall surely be paid in full your wages the requital of your deeds on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is moved away distanced from the Fire and admitted to Paradise will have triumphed he will have attained his ultimate wish. Living in the life of this world is but the comfort of delusion; of inanity enjoyed for a little while then perishing.

‘Death will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and made to
stand
on the Sirat (the Bridge over Hell). It will be said: “O people
of
Paradise!” And they will look. Anxious and afraid lest they be
brought out of the place they are in. Then it will be said: “O
people
of Hell!” and they will look, hoping that they will be
brought out of
the place they are in. Then it will be said: “Do you
know what this
is?” They will say: “Yes, this is Death.” Then
the command will be
given for it to be slaughtered on the Sirat, and
it will be said to
both groups: “It is eternal wherever you are,
and there will never be
any death therein.”
“There is no one among you who does not have two abodes: An
abode
in Paradise and an abode in Hell. If he dies and enters Hell,
the
people of Paradise inherit his abode. This is what Allah says:
‘These
are indeed the inheritors.’”
Death would be brought on the Day of Resurrection. in the form of a white-coloured ram. Abu Kuraib made this addition: Then it would be made to stand between the Paradise and the Hell. So far as the rest of the hadith is concerned there is perfect agreement (between the two narrators) and it would be said to the inmates of Paradise: Do you recognise this? They would raise up their necks and look towards it and say: Yes, ' it is death. Then it would be said to the inmates of Hell-Fire.. Do you recognise this? And they would raise up their necks and look and say: Yes, it is death. Then command would be given for slaughtering that and then it would be said: 0 inmates of Paradise,, there is an everlasting life for you and no death. And then (addressing) to the inmates of the Hell-Fire, it would be said: 0 inmates of Hell-Fire, there is an everlasting living for you and no death. Allah's Messenger (may peace be u@on him) then recited this verse pointing with his hand to this (material) world:" Warn them, this Day of dismay, and when their affairs would be decided and they would be un- mindful and they believe not" (xix. 39).
“On the Day of Resurrection the disbeliever who lived the most
luxurious will be brought, and it will be said: ‘Dip him once in
Hell.’ So he will be dipped in it, then it will be said to him: ‘O
so-
and-so, have you every enjoyed any pleasure?’ He will say: ‘No,
I have
never enjoyed any pleasure.’ Then the believer who suffered
the most
hardship and trouble will be brought and it will be said:
‘Dip him
once in Paradise.’ So he will be dipped in it and it
will be said to
him: ‘O so-and-so, have you ever suffered any
hardship or trouble?’ He
will say: ‘I have never suffered any
hardship or trouble.’”
The Prophet; said, "The people of Paradise will enter Paradise, and the people of the (Hell) Fire will
enter the (Hell) Fire: then a call-maker will get up (and make an announcement) among them, 'O the
people of the (Hell) Fire! No death anymore ! And O people of Paradise! No death (anymore) but
Eternity."
