7:38

Salaam all,


Qala odkhuloo fee omamin qad khalat min qablikum mina aljinni waalinsi fee alnnari kullama dakhalat ommatun laAAanat okhtaha hatta itha iddarakoo feeha jameeAAan qalat okhrahum lioolahum rabbana haolai adalloona faatihim AAathaban diAAfan mina alnnari qala likullin diAAfun walakin la taAAlamoona


The aya says:
He (Allah) said: Enter in nations that passed before you of the Jinn and the humans in Hell. Whenever a nation enters, she curses her sister until when they all reach each other in it (Hell), the last one would say to the first one: Our Nurturing Lord, those are the ones who led us astray therefore bring them multiplied suffering of Hell. He would respond: To each their deserved (suffering) but you (plural) do not know.

My Personal note:
The term her sister that is used here points out to nations that are related to each other in terms of possible beliefs that are shared in the wrong direction and so on.

The term DiAAF is translated in one area as multiplied and in another area as deserved. The term can carry the meaning of similar or deserved recompense but it also can mean multiplication in form of repetition or more punishment and so on. So, the context is that they were asking for more punishment for the ones that they considered guilty of leading them astray. The answer is that each will get it what it deserves including repetition of the suffering.

In this is a strong message that one has to use their judgment and not let others leading him/her astray. They still are responsible for their actions. May Allah open our hearts to His message always.
