(… وَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَادَىٰ كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ) (It will be said to them], “And you have certainly come to Us alone as We created you the first time,…): Meaning, every individual will come by himself. This is because, when the human being was first created, he was created alone. This verse could also mean, ‘you have come back to us as We created you the first time; without anything at all, be it wealth, followers, good lineage, or status.’

(… وَتَرَكْتُم مَّا خَوَّلْنَاكُمْ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِكُمْ… ) (…and you have left whatever We bestowed upon you behind you …): i.e., what We have provided you of children, wealth or followers:

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

(The Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any benefit.) (Ash-Shu’ara: 88)

In these moments, the human being will come to stand alone in front of Allah (swt) without any intercessors whatsoever. As such, Allah (swt) says:

(… وَمَا نَرَىٰ مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ فِيكُمْ شُرَكَاءُ… ) (…And We do not see with you your ‘intercessors’ which you claimed that they were among you associates [of Allah].…): Where are those whom you used to seek help from? Where are those whom you used to pride yourself about? Where is the wealth that you spent in order to oppress others, steal from them, transgress upon them or violate their dignity? None of this will be able to help you. The only thing which can is your good deeds.

(  لَقَد تَّقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنكُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ… ) (…It has [all] been severed between you, and lost from you is what you used to claim.”): The ties that had connected you to your wealth, status, lineage and ancestry have been severed, lost and went to waste.
