And they will say their skins: Why are you witnessing against us? They will say: Allah, the One who makes reflect everything is making us reflect, and He has created you in the first time, and into Him, you all will be returned.
The person who is going to be roasted in the fire will ask his skin: ‘Why are you witnessing against us?’. ‘Against us’ in the verse refers to both the skins and the persons. It is mentioned in verse 4: 56 that whenever the skins of the disbelievers are roasted in the fire, new skins will be substituted for them so that they can taste the punishment in its full form. Today the Fujjar, who are reading these verses, are involved in all evil deeds more than any other people who haven’t read these verses. That is because they are bearing the Lord’s Book without understanding Its Message, just like donkeys bear burdens. They are the fuel of the fire from mankind. The scene of arguing, quarreling, and blaming among the disbelieving hypocrites and their blind followers is explained in verses 2: 165-167. See explanation 2: 85; 13: 18-19; 16: 125; 25: 17-18.
