يَوْمَ يَقُولُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا انظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ قِيلَ ارْجِعُوا وَرَاءَكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوا نُورًا فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍ لَّهُ بَابٌ بَاطِنُهُ فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَظَاهِرُهُ مِن قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُ
The day the hypocrites, men and women, will say to the faithful, ‘Please wait, that we may glean something from your light!’ They will be told: ‘Go back and grope for light!’ Then there will be set up between them a wall with a gate, with mercy within and punishment without.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 57:13
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 57:13] See commentary of Araf: 44. On the day of judgement none shall carry the burden of another, nor any will be able to rescue others as per Baqarah: 48; Anam: 165; BaniIsrail : 15; Fatir: 18; Zumar: 7 and Najm: 38; but those who are given permission by Allah will advocate and recommend whosoever they find suitable for receiving mercy and forgiveness from Allah as per Baqarah: 255; Nisa: 85; Yunus: 3 Maryam: 87; Ta Ha: 109; Anbiya: 28; Saba: 23. On the day of judgement a wall or barrier (record of deeds) will divide the true believers (the good) from the hypocrites (the evil), but the communication between them will not be cut off, so that the evil doers must realise that the mercy and grace available to those who do good was within their reach but due to their own rejection of mercy now the wrath of Allah, would envelope them. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: The righteous will bring the light from (the life of) the world because according to the Quran it will be running before them.
