The day We shall gather from every community a section of those who denied Our signs, and they will be brought (in separate groups),
And the Day when We will raise from every nation an army that denies Our signs – so the former groups will be held back for the latter to join them.
Upon the day when We shall muster out of every nation a troop of those that cried lies to Our signs, duly disposed,
And on that Day We shall gather from within every community a host of those who gave the lie to Our messages; and they will be grouped [according to the gravity of their sins]
And remind them of the Day whereon We shall Rather from every community a troop of those who belied Our signs, and they shall be held in order.
And (remember) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a troop of those who denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and (then) they (all) shall be gathered (and driven to the place of reckoning),
On the Day when We gather from every community a group of those who rejected Our revelations; and they will be restrained.
Just imagine the Day when We shall muster from every nation a large group of those who gave the lie to Our Signs, and they shall be duly arranged in ranks
And (remember) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a Fawj of those who denied Our Ayat, and they shall be driven,
And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a host of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be set in array;
On that day We shall resurrect from every nation a group of those who denied Our signs, and they will be held in check.
On that Day We shall gather a crowd from every nation of those who belied Our verses, so they are gathered.
And [warn of] the Day when We will gather from every nation a company of those who deny Our signs, and they will be [driven] in rows
On the day when We resurrect from every nation a group from among those who had rejected Our revelations, they will be kept confined in ranks.
And on the day when We will gather from every nation a party from among those who rejected Our communications, then they shall be formed into groups.
Wayawma na<u>h</u>shuru min kulli ommatin fawjan mimman yuka<u>thth</u>ibu bi<u>a</u>y<u>a</u>tin<u>a</u> fahum yoozaAAoon<b>a</b>
On that Day We shall assemble together a host from every community of those who cried lies to Our revelations and they will be grouped
One day We shall gather together from every people a troop of those who reject our Signs, and they shall be kept in ranks,-
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ
O Messenger, remember the day I shall gather from each of the nations a group from amongst them the leaders who used to disbelieve in our ayaat, so they can precede their followers to the fire...the first group will be held until the last group of leaders are gathered and then they will be led to the reckoning.

<p>Commentary</p><p>(and they will be kept under control - 27:83), The word used here is derived from Waz', which means to stop. The sense here is that the people in front will be stopped, so that those left behind could catch up. Some have taken the word Waz' in the sense of 'pushing'. Hence, it would mean that they would be pushed while being brought to their stand.</p><p>وَلَمْ تُحِيطُوا بِهَا عِلْمًا (while you did not comprehend them with knowledge - 27:84). There is an allusion in this verse that falsifying the message of Allah Ta` ala is by itself a great sin, especially when one falsifies it without giving any consideration or thought, then the crime is doubled. This has brought to light that if an issue or subject is duly considered and thought over, and yet one could not get to the truth, in that situation the intensity of the crime is reduced. Nevertheless, the denial of the existence of Allah and His Oneness would not save any one from infidelity and adoption of the wrong path, and would thus lead to perpetual torment. It is because they are such self-evident matters that any mistake of judgment is not allowed in them.</p>
