So they may laugh a little and they may weep much as a reward for what they were earning.
The aimless hypocrites and their heedless followers are disassociated into different groups, and each group is rejoicing with what they have as explained in verses 2: 113 and 6: 159. They will be earning Hell as a fine for their deeds without becoming a believer with Adhikr as explained in verses 2: 19-20 and 8: 75. The hypocrites and their blind followers are destined to be roasted in the great Fire since they abstained from the Book Dhikra as explained in verses 2: 97; 4: 56 and 6: 90.
The people of the Book during Messenger’s period were the Jews and Christians, and the Mushriks explained in verse 98: 6 were the Meccan pagans. But today, these verses are only read by hypocrites and their Mushrik followers who are the Arabic Qur’an reading Fujjar as mentioned in 3: 7-10. So today they are only people of the Book. The Impartial Lord does not guide anyone either to Paradise or to Hell. But the read touched and heard verses of Lord’s Book will witness and argue against them and will push them into the Hell. They are the worst creatures in the land as per verse 98: 6, and the worst creatures among the 1000 communities of creatures as per verses 8: 22 and 25: 34. They will be afraid of death because of what they earned in this world as explained in verses 2: 94-96. Through verses 53: 59-62 it is asked to the hypocrites and their followers: “Are you wondering about this Speech (Adhikr), are you laughing and are you not weeping? And are you amusing? Nay, you prostrate to Allah and you serve Him”. But the 1 in 1000 believer who testifies the Best Book Adhikr will only obey the Lord by doing these ‘Prostrations of Recitation’ as explained in verses 7: 205-206. See explanations 3: 181-182; 4: 78-79 and 9: 50.
