Surah Ghafir ayat 48 Tafsir Quran 40:48

﴿قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ﴾
[ غافر: 48]

40:48 Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allah has judged between the servants."

Those who were arrogant will say ‘Indeed we are all together in it. God has indeed judged fairly between His servants’ admitting believers into Paradise and disbelievers into the Fire.

And there shall say those who were extravagant in their accounts of themselves we are now all within it Allah has already judged between His servants, bad men and angels

The Dispute of the People of Hell Allah tells us how the people of Hell will dispute and argue with one another, and Fir`awn and his people will be among them.
The weak, who were the followers, will say to those who were arrogant, who were the leaders and masters: إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا ( Verily, we followed you, ) meaning, `we obeyed you and heeded your call to disbelief and misguidance in the world, ' فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا نَصِيباً مِّنَ النَّارِ ( can you then take from us some portion of the Fire ) means, `can you carry a part of our burden for us' قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُواْ إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَآ ( Those who were arrogant will say: "We are all (together ) in this ( Fire )!...") meaning, `we will not bear any part of your burden for you; our own punishment is enough for us to bear.' إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ ( Verily, Allah has judged (His ) servants!) means, `He has shared out the punishment among us according to what each of us deserves'.
This is like the Ayah: قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَـكِن لاَّ تَعْلَمُونَ ( He will say: "For each one there is double (torment ), but you know not.") ( 7:38 ) وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِى النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُواْ رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْماً مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ ( And those in the Fire will say to the keepers (angels ) of Hell: "Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!") They know that Allah will not answer them and will not listen to their prayer, because He said, اخْسَئُواْ فِيهَا وَلاَ تُكَلِّمُونِ ( Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me! ) ( 23:108 ), so they will ask the keepers of Hell, who are like jailers watching over the people of Hell, to pray to Allah to lessen the Fire for them if only for one day.
But the keepers of Hell will refuse, saying to them, أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ ( Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear ) evidences) meaning, was not proof established in the world on the lips of the Messengers قَالُواْ بَلَى قَالُواْ فَادْعُواْ ( They will say: "Yes." They will reply: "Then call (as you like )!...") means, you are on your own.
We will not pray for you or listen to you; we do not want you to be saved and we have nothing to do with you.
Moreover, we tell you that it is all the same whether you offer supplication or not, because Allah will not respond and He will not lighten the torment for you.' They will say: وَمَا دُعَآءُ الْكَـفِرِينَ إِلاَّ فِى ضَلَـلٍ ( And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in vain! ) meaning, it will not be accepted or responded to.

(40:48) Those who had waxed proud will reply: 'All of us are in it. Allah has already passed His judgement among His servants.' *65

Those who had been arrogant will say, meaning

*65) That is, Both you and we have already been sentenced and Allah has passed His judgement regarding each of us.
Now it does not lie in anyone's power to change the sentence of Allah, or to make any increase or decrease in the punishment awarded by Him."

( Those who were proud ) to accept faith, i.e. the leaders ( say ) to their followers: ( Lo! we are all (together )) the worshipped and the worshippers, the leaders and the followers ( herein ) in the Fire. ( Lo! Allah hath judged between (His ) slaves) He has judged between the worshipper and the worshipped and between the leaders and followers and decreed that they will abide in the Fire; it is also said that this means: Allah has judged between the believers and disbelievers: the believers will enter the Garden while the disbelievers will go to the Fire.

Those who were arrogant will say: "We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily Allah has judged between (His) slaves!"
