37:68 - Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire. 4075<br />

4075 When they eat of the zaqqum in the lowest depths of hell, they are apparently brought up to drink of the mixture as a<br />

further punishment, after which they go back to repeat the round. (37.68)<br />

50:24 - (The sentence will be:) "Throw throw into Hell every contumacious Rejector (of Allah)! 4960<br />

4960 The original for "throw", here and in verse 26 below, is in the dual number, which some Commentators explain by<br />

saying that the dual form is used for emphasis, as if the verb ("throw, throw") were twice repeated. Examples of this<br />

are found in Arabic. But is it possible that the dual refers to the two angels mentioned in verses 17 and 21? In that<br />

case the Companion in verse 27 will be the third one mentioned in verses 18 and 23. In any case the third one will be<br />

the one on whose Record the sentence will be passed. (50.24)<br />

55:35 - On you will be sent (O ye evil ones twain!) a flame of fire (to burn) and a smoke (to choke):<br />

No defence will ye have: 51965197<br />

5196 The Dual is with reference to the two worlds explained above in n. 5193. (55.35)<br />

5197 We now come to the terrors of the Judgment on the evil ones. (55.35)<br />

56:42 - (They will be) in the midst of a fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water 5242<br />

5242 Notice the parallel<strong>ism</strong> in the contrast between those in Bliss and those in Misery. The description in each case<br />

pursues the idea of contrast. The fierce Blast of Fire and the Boiling Water are in contrast to the happy Lote-tree and<br />

the flowers and fruits in verses 28-29 above. (56.42)<br />

56:43 - And in the shades of Black Smoke: 5243<br />

5243 Even the Shades get a different quality in the Abode of Misery: shades of black smoke in contrast to the cool and<br />

refreshing long extended shades of trees by brooks in verses 30-31 above. (56.43)<br />

56:52 - "Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum. 5247<br />

5247 This is the Cursed Tree mentioned in xvii, 60, where see n. 2250. Cf. also xxxvii. 62, n. 4072; and xliv. 43-46 and n.<br />

4722. (56.52)<br />

56:54 - "And drink Boiling Water on top of it:<br />

56:55 - "Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst! 5248<br />

5248 A terrible picture of Misery in contrast to the Companionship of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, on raised<br />

couches, for the Companions of the Right Hand, in verses 34-38 above. (56.55)<br />

70:15 - By no means! For it would be the Fire of Hell!<br />

84:10 - But he who is given his Record behind his back 6039<br />

6039 In lxix. 24, the wicked are given the Record in their left hand. But their hands will not be free. Sin will tie their hands<br />

behind their back: and thus they can only receive their Records in their left hand, behind their back. (84.10)<br />

84:11 - Soon will he cry for Perdition 6040<br />

6040 The wicked will cry for death and annihilation: but they will neither live nor die: xx. 74. (84.11)<br />

84:12 - And he will enter a Blazing Fire.<br />

89:23 - And Hell that Day is brought (face to face) on that Day will man remember but how will that<br />

remembrance profit him? 6125<br />

6125 The Retribution will at last come, and we shall realise it in our inmost being, all the illusions of this fleeting world<br />

having been swept away. Then we shall remember, and wish, too late, that we had repented. Why not repent now?<br />

Why not bring forth the fruits of repentance now, as a preparation for the Hereafter? (89.23)<br />

99:8 - And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.<br />

101:8 - But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light<br />

101:9 - Will have his home in a (bottomless) pit. 6256<br />

6256 Just as grades of bliss are indicated for the righteous, so apparently we are to understand grades of punishment<br />

suited to the sins of the individual sinners concerned. (101.9)<br />

101:11 - It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!<br />
