Ayahs 79:36–41

وَ بُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِیْمُ لِمَنْ یَّرٰى Open ayah 79:36 in the Quran reader

and Hell shall be laid open for everyone to see,

فَاَمَّا مَنْ طَغٰىۙ Open ayah 79:37 in the Quran reader

then the one who had rebelled

وَ اٰثَرَ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَاۙ Open ayah 79:38 in the Quran reader

and preferred the life of the world,

فَاِنَّ الْجَحِیْمَ هِیَ الْمَاْوٰىؕ Open ayah 79:39 in the Quran reader

Hell shall be his home.

وَ اَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَ نَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوٰىۙ Open ayah 79:40 in the Quran reader

As for him who had feared to stand before his Lord and restrained himself from evil desires,

فَاِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِیَ الْمَاْوٰىؕ Open ayah 79:41 in the Quran reader

Paradise shall be his home. 21

21 Here, in a few words, it has been told briefly what shall be the criterion of the final judgement in the Hereafter. One kind of the conduct of life in the world is that transgressing all bounds of service man should rebel against his God and should make up his mind that he would seek only the benefits and pleasures of this world in whatever way they could be sought and achieved. The other kind of conduct is that while man passes life in the world he should constantly keep in view the truth that ultimately one day he has to stand before his Lord, and should refrain from fulfilling the evil desires of the self only for the fear that if he earned an unlawful benefit in obedience to his self, or enjoyed an evil pleasure, what answer he would give to his Lord. The criterion of the judgement in the Hereafter will be which of the two kinds of conduct he adopted in the world. If he had adopted the first kind of conduct, his permanent abode would be Hell, and if he had adopted the second kind of conduct, his permanent home would be Paradise.
Ayah 79:42

یَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَیَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَاؕ Open ayah 79:42 in the Quran reader

They ask you, "When will the Hour come to stay?" 22

22 The disbelievers of Makkah asked this question of the Holy Prophet over and over again. By this they did not mean to know the time and date of the coming of Resurrection but to mock it. (For further explanation, see E.N. 35 of Surah Al-Mulk) .
Ayahs 79:43–45

فِیْمَ اَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرٰىهَاؕ Open ayah 79:43 in the Quran reader

(But) it is not for you to tell its time.

اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰىهَاؕ Open ayah 79:44 in the Quran reader

Its knowledge rests only with your Lord.

اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ یَّخْشٰىهَاؕ Open ayah 79:45 in the Quran reader

You are only a warner to him who fears it. 23

23 This also we have explained in E.N. 36 of Surah Al-Mulk above. As for the words "you are only a Warner to him who fears it", they do not mean that it is not your duty to warn those who do not fear, but it means: "Your warning will benefit only him who fears the coming of that Day."
Ayah 79:46

كَاَنَّهُمْ یَوْمَ یَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ یَلْبَثُوْۤا اِلَّا عَشِیَّةً اَوْ ضُحٰىهَا۠ Open ayah 79:46 in the Quran reader

The day these people see it, they will feel as though they had stayed (in the world or in the state of death) only for the afternoon of a day or its forenoon. 24

24 This theme has occurred at several places in the Qur'an and been explained in the corresponding Notes. For it, see E.N. 53 of Yunus, E.N. 56 of Bani Isra'il, E.N. 80 of Ta Ha, E.N. 101 of Al-Mu'minun, E.N.'s 81, 82 of ArRum, E.N. 48 of Ya Sin. Besides, this theme has also occurred in Al-Ahqaf: 35 but we have not explained it there for fear of repetition.
