وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ فِى شَكٍّ مُّرِيبٍۭ

Explanatory Note

“A barrier will be set between them and all that they desire.” This is a reference to the faith they wish to have now when it is too late. It cannot spare them the punishment or save them from the danger they see looming. They are in the same position as earlier communities: “just as was done with their kind before.” Those earlier communities also tried to escape God’s punishment when no escape was possible. “They were lost in perplexing doubt.” Now they see it for certain after they had been in doubt of it ever happening.

The sūrah concludes on this fast, powerful note, with a scene from the Day of Judgement confirming the main issue. This issue is stated at the outset and re-stated here at the end.
