Surah Ibrahim/Abraham
Chapter 14
The Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said,
"On the Day of Resurrection, Jahannam (Hellfire) will be brought and it will call the creatures, saying, "I was given the responsibility of every rebellious tyrant.''"
- Therefore, every tyrant has earned utter demise and loss when the Prophets invoked Allah, the Mighty, the Able for victory.
Allah said next,
"In front of him is Hell," [14:16]
- Allah says that Jahannam is in front of every obstinate tyrant, awaiting him, and he will reside in it forever on the Day of Return. He will be brought to it in the morning and the afternoon until the Day of the Call,
"and he will be made to drink boiling, festering water." [14:16]
- in the Fire, his only drink will be from Hamim and Ghassaq, the former is very hot and the latter is very cold and rotten. Mujahid and `Ikrimah said that this festering water is made of puss and blood.
Allah said in other Ayat, "And be given to drink boiling water so that it cuts up their bowels." [47:15]
and, Allah's statement,
"He will sip it unwillingly", [14:17]
- indicates that he will hate to drink this water, but he will be forced to sip it; he will refuse until the angel strikes him with an iron bar,
"and he will find great difficulty in swallowing it down his throat," [14:17]
- meaning, he will hate to swallow it because of its awful taste, color and unbearable heat or coldness,
"and death will come to him from every side,"[14:17]
- his organs, limbs and entire body will suffer pain because of this drink. `Amr bin Maymun bin Mahran commented, "Every bone, nerve and blood vessel.''
- Ad-Dahhak reported that Ibn `Abbas commented on Allah's statement, "and death will come to him from every side,": All types of torment that Allah will punish him with on the Day of Resurrection in the fire of Jahannam will come to him carrying death, if he were to die. However, he will not die.
- According to Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, every type of punishment will come to him (the obstinate, rebellious tyrant) carrying death with it, if he will ever die there. Yet, he will not die, he will instead receive eternal punishment and torment. Hence Allah's statement here,
"and death will come to him from every side, yet he will not die, and in front of him, will be a great torment..." [14:17]
Allahu Akbar! This is the reality! Jahannam awaits..and Allah is the Most Just. May Allah forbid us to enter the hellfire, and may He forbid us to have any form of punishment in the hereafter, ameen.
