Surah Tahrim ayat 6 Tafsir Quran 66:6

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ﴾
[ التحريم: 6]

66:6 O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.

O you who believe! Guard yourselves and your families by enjoining obedience to God against a Fire whose fuel is disbelieving people and stones such as those idols of theirs made of that stone — the meaning is that it is extremely hot fuelled by the above-mentioned unlike the fire of this world which is fuelled by wood and the like — over which stand angels its keepers — numbering nineteen as will be stated in sūrat al-Muddaththir Q. 7430 — stern a sternness of the heart mighty in their power of assault who do not disobey God in what He commands them mā amarahum is a substitution for His Majesty ‘God’ in other words they do not disobey the command of God but do what they are commanded — this is reiterated for emphasis; the verse is meant as a threat to deter believers from apostatising and for hypocrites who believe only with their tongues and not with their hearts.

O you Whose hearts reflect the image of religious and spiritual virtues: Save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is people and stones, guarded by angels who are hard hearted to the infidels and mighty, potent and strong. They never disobey a command given by Allah and they carry out every action they are enjoined to do alt along

(66:6) Believers, guard yourselves and your kindred against a Fire whose fuel is human beings and stones, *16 a Fire held in the charge of fierce and stern angels who never disobey what He has commanded them, and always do what they are bidden. *17

O you who have believed, protect yourselves meaning

*16) Thts verse tells that a person's responsibility is not confined to making effort to save himself from the punishment of God but it is also his responsibility that he should so educate and train to the best of his ability members of his family also to become Allah's favourite servants, who have been entrusted to his care in the natural process of life; and if they might be following a path to Hell, he should try.
as far as he can, to correct them.
His concern should not only be that his children should lead a happy and prosperous life in the world but; more than that, he should be anxious to see that they do not become fuel of Hell in the Hereafter.
According to a tradition reported in Bukhiiri by Hadrat `Abdullah bin 'Umar, the Holy Prophet ( upon whom be peace ) said: " Each one of you is a herdsman and is accountable with regard to his herd: the ruler is a herdsman and is accountable with regard to his subjects; the man is a herdsman of his family and is accountable with regard to them; and the woman is a herdsman of her husband's house and his children and is accountable with regard to them. "
Whose fuel...stone" probably implies coal.
Ibn Mas' ud, Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir and Suddi say that this will be brimstone.

*17) That is, they will enforce on every culprit precisely the same punishment which they will be commanded to enforce on him without making any alteration in it, or showing any pity for him.

 

( O ye who believe ) in Muhammad ( pbuh ) and the Qur’an! ( Ward off from yourselves ) and your folks ( and your families ) and wives and children ( a Fire ) He says: teach them good manners and make them learn goodness, and by doing so you will save them from the Fire ( whereof the fuel is men and stones ) of sulphur which is the hottest of stones, ( over which ) over the Fire ( are set angels ) i.e. the angels in charge of the Fire ( strong ) huge, ( severe ) very strong, ( who resist not Allah in that which He commandeth them ) regarding the chastisement of the dwellers of the Fire, ( but do ) i.e. the angels in charge of the Fire (that which they are commanded.

O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded.
