قَالُوا يَاوَيْلَنَا مَن بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا هَذَا مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ
They will say, ‘Woe to us! Who raised us from our place of sleep?’ ‘This is what the All-beneficent had promised, and the apostles had spoken the truth!’
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 36:52
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 36:52] Aqa Mahdi Puya says: Marqad means sleeping place, and ruqud means sleeping. It is a figurative reference to any stage wherein man is not aware of what is awaiting him in future. The Holy Prophet has said: "The people are asleep, when they die, they will awake."
