نجات موّمنان و عذاب کافران پس از فرستادن پیامبر(ص)

این آّیات» از قانون قطصی خداوند که همةٌ امت‌ها مشمول آن بوده و هستندء خبر می‌دهد. آن قانون این است که خداوند حکم فرموده که برای تمام امت‌ها پیامبری بفرستد تا پیام‌های الهی را به آنها برسانده سپس با فرستادن عذاب» بین او و آن امت داوری کند و افراد باایمان امت را نجات دهد و تکذیب‌کنندگان خدا و پیامبرش را نابود کند. سپس به پیامبر اسلام(ص) فرمان می‌دهد که به این امت خبر بدهد که آنها نیز بدون استثنا مشمول این قانون هستند. البته پاسخ این سوّال را که چه زمانی عذاب الهی بر مجرمان امت پیامبر نازل می‌شودء نداده و زمان آن را مبهم گذاشته است. در روایتی از امام باقر(ع) در ذیل آَیةُ ۵۰ این سوره می‌خوانیم: منظور از این آیه, عذابی است که در آخرالزمان بر فاسقانی که به ظاهر مسلمان هستند. نازل می‌شود. آنها امکان نزول عذاب الهی بر خود را انکار می‌کنند.»
