And if Allah had not decreed exile upon them, He would have certainly punished them in this world. Yet for them, there is the punishment of the Fire in the Hereafter.
If the decree had not been to exile Banu Nadir, just as Banu Qaynuqa had been exiled earlier, they would have faced the same fate as Banu Qurayza, who were punished as explained in verses 33:25-26. Today, if people from the Messenger’s community truly believe in Allah and the Last Day and perform righteous deeds, they will receive their reward from their Lord, and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve, as explained in 2:62. However, the Fujjar-Kuffar (wicked disbelievers) today serve Satan and are preparing to welcome the 30th pseudo-prophet—the Antichrist. Thus, they deserve to be led through the seven gates of Hell, as explained in 15:44. The believers who hold fast to Allah by adhering to Adhikr—the Unbreakable Rope—are the only ones who are guided and walking on the Straightpath, as explained in 1:4, 2:256, 3:102, 4:174-175, and 5:48. See explanations of 5:69, 57:22, and 58:20-22.
