The meanings of the verses 4:145-147

Verse 4:145 says:

Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest level, place, of the Fire, that is, its bottom; the lowest deep of it because of their evil, betrayal and scheming against the Prophet Muhammad and against his Companions

And you will never find a helper or a protector for them, anyone to guard them from the Fire.

Verse 4:146 says:

Save those who repent, of hypocrisy, and make amends, in their deeds, and hold fast to their belief in Allah's divine Oneness inwardly, put their trust in Allah and make their religion purely God’s, free from any pretence;

Those are with the believers, in terms of what they shall be given; and God will certainly give the believers a great wage, in the Hereafter, and that is Paradise.

it is also said that this means that they are with them as far as the promise is concerned; and it is also said that this means that they are with the believers both inwardly and outwardly; and it is said that they are with the believers in Paradise. (And Allah will bestow on the believers) sincere believers (an immense reward) an abundant reward in Paradise.

Verse 4:147 says:

Why would God chastise you if you are thankful, of His favors, and believe, in Him? The interrogative is meant as a denial, in other words: He would not punish you?

What concern has Allah for your punishment; why should Allah punish you if ye are thankful for His mercies; if you believe inwardly in His divine Oneness and believe in Him and you have faith inwardly?

Allah was ever Responsive; He is responsive for the little that is done in His sake and rewards abundantly for it, He is Aware of those who are thankful and of those who are not.

Allah is ever Thankful, of the deeds of believers, rewarding them,

And Allah ever knows of His creation.
