Tafsir of Verse 11, Surah Al-Lail

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

English Translation

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

English Transliteration

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

Tafsir of Verse 11

his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes.

Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَ‌دَّىٰ (And his wealth will not help him when he will fall down...92:11). The word taradda literally denotes 'to fall into a pit and perish'. The expression 'When he fall' signifies that when Divine decree regarding his destruction comes into operation, nothing - not even his wealth - will save him, whether in grave after his death, or on the Day of Judgment, when he will be falling into the abyss of Hell.
