Tafsir of verse 175
Al-Mukhtasar
Those who hide knowledge exchange guidance for misguidance, as they hid the truth, and exchange the forgiveness of Allah for His punishment. How determined they are to do things that will lead them into the fire of Hell, as if they do not realize what suffering it contains!
They are those who trade guidance for misguidance and forgiveness for punishment. How patient they must be to withstand the Fire77!
Notes
[77] Allah is mocking their ignorance for exchanging bliss of Paradise with punishment of Hellfire.
Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire.
Those are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, and torment at the price of pardon. How constant are they in their strife to reach the Fire!
They are the ones who buy Error in place of Guidance and Torment in place of Forgiveness. Ah! what boldness (They show) for the Fire!
These are they who buy error for the right direction and chastisement for forgiveness; how bold they are to encounter fire.
Those are they who have traded guidance for errancy, and forgiveness for torment; so, how patiently will they (endure) the Fire!
