In the previous article (36) you have seen that:
Allah will say to the disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Enter into the Fire among, the number of, nations of jinn and man who passed away before you’. Every time a nation enters, the Fire, it curses its sister-nation, the one that came before it, because of its having gone astray on account of it, until, when they have all followed, caught up with, one another there, the last of them, those who were the followers, shall say to the first of them, those whom they revered and followed: ‘Our Lord, these led us astray; so give them a double chastisement of the Fire.’ He, exalted be He, will say, ‘For each, of you and them, will be a double, chastisement, but you do not know’ what will be for each party.

The meaning of verse 7:39
And the first of them shall say to the last of them, ‘You have no advantage over us, since you did not disbelieve because of us: you and we are equal in this predicament. God, exalted be He, says to them: So taste the chastisements for what you used to earn’.
In other words, the first (disbelieved) nation shall say to the last of nations: You were no whit better than us such that our torment should be double yours, for you disbelieved as we disbelieved and worshipped others beside Allah as we did. Allah then tells them: so taste the doom for what you used to earn, for what you used to say and do of idolatry in the life of this world.
The meaning of verse 7:40
Lo! those who deny Our revelations, Muhammad and the Quran and scorn believing in them, for them the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, to receive their works or when their spirits are carried up to it after death, for instead they are taken down into jail with torment; in contrast to the believer, for whom the gates are opened, and his spirit is carried up into the seventh heaven, as is stated by Muhammad.
Back to the disbelievers, nor will they enter the Garden, Paradise, until the camel passes through the eye of the needle, which is impossible, and so is their entry [into Paradise]; they will not enter Paradise just as a camel cannot pass through the eye of a needle; it is also said that this means: they will not enter Paradise until a rope goes through a needle’s eye. So, with this requital, We requite those who are sinful, through disbelief; thus does Allah requite the guilty.
The meaning of verse 7:41
Theirs will be a bed of hell, a bed of fire, and over them coverings of hell, of fire. Thus does Allah requite wrong-doers, the evildoers.
