[41]. Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah (Prostration) also known as Surah Fussilat [They Are Explained in Detail]: Ayat 005

৫. তারা বলে আপনি যে বিষয়ের দিকে আমাদের কে দাওয়াত দেন, সে বিষয়ে আমাদের অন্তর আবরণে আবৃত, আমাদের কর্ণে আছে বোঝা এবং আমাদের ও আপনার মাঝখানে আছে অন্তরাল। অতএব, আপনি আপনার কাজ করুন এবং আমরা আমাদের কাজ করি।

Ayat 5. And they (Pagans of Makkah) say: "Our hearts are under coverings (screened) from that to which you ( [SAWW] (PBUH),  invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you  [SAWW] (PBUH), is a screen, so work you  [SAWW] (PBUH), (on your way); verily, we are working (on our way)."

Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 5. They say: "Our hearts are under veils, (concealed) from that to which thou dost invite us, and in our ears in a deafness, and between us and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt); for us, we shall do (what we will!)" The consequence of their wilful rejection is that a distance is created between Revelation and those for whom it is meant; their ears become deaf, so that the voice falls fainter and fainter on their ears: they feel a bar between themselves and the Messenger who comes to teach them (Cf. 6:25 ). This is either a superiority complex adopting the sarcastic tone of an inferiority complex, or it expresses calculated indifference to spiritual teaching. In effect it says: "Our hearts and minds are not intelligent enough to understand your noble ideas, nor our ears sufficiently acute to hear their exposition: you and we are quite different; there is a gulf between us. Why worry about us? You go your way, and we shall go ours!"

Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Bedouin came to the Prophet  [SAWW] (PBUH) and asked him, "O Messenger of Allah  [SAWW] (PBUH), what are the two imperatives which lead to Jannah or Hell". He  [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "He who dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Jannah, and he who dies associating partners with Allah will enter the Fire".  [Muslim Book 01, Chapter 41, Hadith # 168] 

Lesson: This Hadith also holds promise for a Muslim that being a Muslim and Muwahhid (believer in the Oneness of Allah) he will be at last sent to Jannah. Whether he goes straight to Jannah or after suffering the punishment of his sins in Hell, is a separate issue, but he will not remain in Hell for ever. Eternal punishment in Hell is reserved only for pagans, polytheists, and infidels.
