Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Life and the Death of the Believers and the Disbelievers are not EqualAllah the Exalted states here that the believers and the disbelievers are never equal. Allah said in another Ayah,لاَ يَسْتَوِى أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَآئِزُونَ (Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful.
