Allah the Exalted said: << أولآئك الذين لهم سوء العذاب وهم في الأخرة هم الأخسرون >

The new lesson now: Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: [Surat al-Naml: 5] The most severe of it in this world is killing and captivity .
Who is being referred to? Those who do not believe in the Hereafter. When He mentioned, may Allah protect us, their path and that their evil deeds were made attractive to them, He mentioned their recompense and their end, saying: [Surat al-Naml: 5].
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) supported this with what happens in this world of captivity and killing, but it should not be restricted to that. Rather, it is said: This is part of the evil punishment they receive, and they receive evil punishment in this world and in the Hereafter.
And for that reason, they had no share in the Hereafter. Rather, He said: [Surat al-Naml: 5].
, [Surat al-Naml: 5].
Good. The first "they" is the subject, and the second is for emphasis. It is permissible for it to be a demonstrative pronoun, but since there is a precedent for it, which is the word "they," it is best to consider it as emphasis.
We benefit from the restriction implied by the definite subject and predicate: [Surat al-Naml: 5]. "The most losing" is a superlative noun, derived from loss, which is deficiency. Restricting the state of being the most losing to them is proof that there is loss for others, but they are the most losing.
The loss that occurs for others is that the open sinners among the believers are punished according to their sins, and this is a loss, because their bliss in the Hereafter was not completed, as they were punished for the sins they committed. So there is no doubt that this is a loss and that it is a loss. Is that not so?
But the greater loss is for those who will remain in the Fire forever. And for this reason, the author says: " Because of their destination to the eternal Fire upon them." They are the most losing.
So, people in the Hereafter are divided into three categories: winners, losers, and the most losing.
The winner is the one upon whom Allah bestows His grace, so he leaves this world without deserving punishment in the Hereafter, whether that is through repentance, or through calamities that expiate sins, or through great righteous deeds with which the evil deeds vanish, like the people of Badr. Allah said to them: "Do what you will, We have forgiven you." If they were to commit whatever sins they commit, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) would forgive them because of the great good deed they performed in the Battle of Badr.
It is also possible that this person who did evil in this world is forgiven by Allah, because Allah the Exalted says: [Surat al-Nisa: 48]. So his state in the Hereafter is complete.
The second is the loser, who is not the most losing. He is the one who committed some sins and was not decreed deliverance from them, so he was punished for them. The most losing is the one who has no share in the Hereafter; he has no portion in the Hereafter, and they are the disbelievers.
[Surat al-Naml: 5]. In this verse, there are benefits that we will discuss, if Allah wills, in the next lesson, because I like it to be, since we have understood from you, and praise be to Allah, the understanding of the benefits, that I like it to be extracted from you. Yes, and in the next lesson, if Allah wills, we will see.
Those are the ones for whom there will be the worst of punishment
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِThose
أوْلَئِكَThose are the ones for whom there will be the worst of punishment
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِThe author (may Allah have mercy on him) supported this with what happens in this world of captivity and killing, but it should not be restricted to that. Rather, it is said: This is part of the evil punishment they receive, and they receive evil punishment in this world and in the Hereafter.
And for that reason, they had no share in the Hereafter. Rather, He said:
and in the Hereafter they are the greatest losers.
وَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ هُمُ الأَخْسَرُونَAnd they
وَهُمْare the most losing
هُمُ الأَخْسَرُونَGood. The first "they" is the subject, and the second is for emphasis. It is permissible for it to be a demonstrative pronoun, but since there is a precedent for it, which is the word "they," it is best to consider it as emphasis.
We benefit from the restriction implied by the definite subject and predicate:

It is also possible that this person who did evil in this world is forgiven by Allah, because Allah the Exalted says:
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُThe second is the loser, who is not the most losing. He is the one who committed some sins and was not decreed deliverance from them, so he was punished for them. The most losing is the one who has no share in the Hereafter; he has no portion in the Hereafter, and they are the disbelievers.
