Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light of the Holy Qur'an Interpretation Of( Insan and Mursalat and Naba ) Sura Nabaa (the Great News) No.

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink'. Except a boiling fluid and pus'. A fitting recompense (for their evil) '. Surely they used not to look forward to the reckoning (for their deeds) '. And they rejected Our Signs with strong denial'. And everything have We recorded in a book'. So taste you (the fruit of your deeds) ; for no increase shall We grant you, but in punishment. Commentary: Hell is a Great Ambush!

After presenting some of the evidences of Resurrection and a part of its incidents, attention is paid to the destiny of the Unbelievers and says: Surely Hell lies in ambush, For the transgressors a destination'. To abide therein for ages. The term /mirsad/ is a place-noun which means 'a place of observation, or of ambush'.

Raqib cites in his book Mufradat: /marsad/ and /mirsad/ both mean the same thing with a slight difference; that /mirsad/ is called a place that is made especially for an ambush'. Some commentators have said that the term is in the Arabic intensive form, with the same sense as that of a person who lies in ambush, continuously. Of course, the first meaning is both more common and more appropriate.

The question of 'Who is lying in wait, in Hell, for the transgressors?', has been answered with the angels of chastisement ', because according to Sura Muryam, No. 19. Verse 71 the whole of mankind, good or evil, will pass by the fire of Hell or over it, thus: 'Not one of you but will pass over it: this is with the Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished'. In this companion passage, the angels of chastisement are lying in wait to catch the transgressors.
