18:107 - As to those who believe and work righteous deeds they have for their entertainment the
Gardens of Paradise 2452
2452 Firdaus in Persian means an enclosed place, a park. In technical theological language the word is used for the inner
circle of Heaven, or the highest Heaven, the destination of those who perfectly fulfil both requirements, viz.; a sound
faith, and perfectly righteous conduct. Small faults in either respect are forgiven; the Mercy of Allah steps in. (18.107)

FIRE:
7:36 - But those who reject our signs and treat them with arrogance they are companions of the fire
to dwell therein (for ever).
4:56 - Those who reject Our Signs We shall soon cast into the fire: as often as their skins are
roasted through We shall change them for fresh skins that they may taste the penalty: for Allah
is Exalted in Power Wise.
14:50 - Their garments of liquid pitch and their faces covered with Fire; 19271928
1928 Qatiran: black pitch, a resinous substance exuding from certain kinds of trees like the terebinth or the pines, or
distilled from wood or coal. It catches fire readily. Issuing from the upper garments (Sarabil) the flames soon cover the
face, the most expressive part of man's essence or being. The metaphor of fetters (n. 1926) is now changed to that of
pitch, which darkens and sets on fire the soul of man. (14.50)
22:19 - These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: but those who deny (their
Lord) for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling
water. 2792
2792 Two antagonists: i.e., parties of antagonists, viz., Men of Faith, who confess their Lord and seek to carry out His Will,
and Men who deny their Lord and defy His Will. (22.19)
25:11 - Nay they deny the Hour (of the Judgment to come): but We have prepared a Blazing Fire
for such as deny the Hour: 3066
3066 Denying the Hour of Judgment means denying the power of Justice and Truth to triumph; it means asserting the
dominion of Evil. But Allah himself will punish them, as shown in the following verses. (25.11)
32:20 - As to those who are rebellious and wicked their abode will be the Fire: every time they wish
to get away therefrom they will be forced thereinto and it will be said to them: "taste ye the
Penalty of the Fire the which ye were wont to reject as false. 3653
3653 Cf. xxii. 22. Just as the gardens is the type of Bliss, so is the Fire the type of Penalty and suffering. There will be no
getting away from it. What will be the thoughts of those who had earned it? "We used to reject the idea of the
Consequences as a mere chimera: and now we find it to be true!" What will be their feelings then? How will they like
it! (32.20)
41:19 - On the Day that the enemies of Allah will be gathered together to the Fire they will be
marched in ranks. 4486
4486 "Marched in ranks": to show their further humiliation: for they will be like prisoners going to Punishment. (41.19)
41:20 - At length when they reach the (Fire) their hearing their sight and their skins will bear witness
against them as to (all) their deeds. 4487
4487 All the members of their bodies and the faculties of their minds, which they misused, will bear witness against them.
Similarly, in xxxvi. 65, their hands and their feet bear witness against them. The "skin" not only includes the sense of
touch (which is so often misused in sex), but also the sense of taste and the sense of smell, which are specialised
forms of the organ of touch. All the sensory organs, and all their intellectual and emotional counterparts advance us by
their use and pull us down by their misuse. They become tell-tale witnesses against us if abused. (41.20)
41:24 - If then they have patience the Fire will be a Home for them! And if they beg to be received
into favor into favor will they not (then) be received. 4491
4491 If they have patience: there is sarcasm in the meaning. "Let them not be impatient: they will soon find a home in the
Fire of Hell! If they ask for grace and forgiveness then, it will be too late." (41.24)
40:41 - "And O my People! how (strange) it is for me to call you to Salvation while ye call me to the
Fire! 4414
