That is because they say, "Never will the Fire touch us except for [a few] numbered days," and [because] they were deluded in their religion by what they were inventing.

இதற்குக் காரணம்; எண்ணிக் கணக்கிடப்பட்ட (சில) நாட்களே தவிர (நரக) நெருப்பு எப்போதைக்கும் எங்களைத் தீண்டாது என்று அவர்கள் கூறிக் கொண்டிருப்பதுதான.; (இது) தவிர அவர்கள் தம் மார்க்க(விஷய)த்தில் பொய்யாகக் கற்பனை செய்து கூறிவந்ததும் அவர்களை ஏமாற்றி விட்டது.

එය, නියමිත දින ගණනකට පමණක් මිස (නිරා) ගින්න අපව ස්පර්ශ නො කරනු ඇතැයි ඔවුන් පැවසූ හේතුවෙනි. තවද ඔවුන් ගොතමින් සිටි දෑ ඔවුන්ගේ දහම තුළ ඔවුන් රවටා දැමුවේ ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اس کی وجہ ان کا یہ کہنا کہ ہمیں تو گنے چنے چند دن ہی آگ جلائے گی، ان کی گڑھی گڑھائی باتوں نے انہیں ان کے دین کے بارے میں دھوکے میں ڈال رکھا ہے۔
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
これは,かれらが「わたしたちが業火に触れたとしても何日かの間に過ぎないだろう。」と 言うためで,かれらはその教えに就き,自分の捏造したものに欺かれて正しい教えから迷い出ているためである。
ChineseMa Jian
这是因为他们说:火绝不接触我们,除非若干有数的日子。他们所捏造的,在他们的宗教方面,已欺骗了他们。

Tafsir of 3:24

Chastising the People of the Book for Not Referring to the Book of Allah for Judgment Allah criticizes the Jews and Christians who claim to follow their Books, the Tawrah and the Injil, because when they are called to refer to these Books where Allah commanded them to follow Muhammad , they turn away with aversion. This censure and criticism from Allah was all because of their defiance and rejection. Allah said next, ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلاَ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَتٍ (This is because they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a number of days.") meaning, what made them dare to challenge and defy the truth is their false claim that Allah will only punish them for seven days in the Fire, a day for every one thousand years in this life. We mentioned this subject in the Tafsir of Surat Al-Baqarah. Allah then said, وَغَرَّهُمْ فِى دِينِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ (And that which they used to invent regarding their religion has deceived them.) meaning, what caused them to remain on their false creed is that they deceived themselves, believing that the Fire will only touch them for a few days for their errors.…
