Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Doors of Heaven shall not open for Those Who deny Allah's Ayat, and They shall never enter ParadiseAllah said,لاَ تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَبُ السَّمَآءِ(for them the gates of the heavens will not be opened,) meaning, their good deeds and supplication will not ascend through it, according to Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Ibn `Abbas, as Al-`Awfi and `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from him. Ath-Thawri narrated that, Layth said that `Ata' narrated this from Ibn `Abbas.
