ٱلْكَهْف : ٢٩

  • وَقُلِ And say
  • ٱلۡحَقُّ The truth
  • مِن (is) from
  • رَّبِّكُمۡۖ your Lord
  • فَمَن so whoever
  • شَآءَ wills
  • فَلۡيُؤۡمِن let him believe
  • وَمَن and whoever
  • شَآءَ wills
  • فَلۡيَكۡفُرۡۚ let him disbelieve
  • إِنَّآ Indeed We
  • أَعۡتَدۡنَا have prepared
  • لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ for the wrongdoers
  • نَارًا a Fire
  • أَحَاطَ will surround
  • بِهِمۡ them
  • سُرَادِقُهَاۚ its walls
  • وَإِن And if
  • يَسۡتَغِيثُواْ they call for relief
  • يُغَاثُواْ they will be relieved
  • بِمَآءٖ with water
  • كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ like molten brass
  • يَشۡوِي (which) scalds
  • ٱلۡوُجُوهَۚ the faces
  • بِئۡسَ Wretched
  • ٱلشَّرَابُ (is) the drink
  • وَسَآءَتۡ and evil
  • مُرۡتَفَقًا (is) the resting place
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.
And say, to him and to his companions that this Qur'aan is, 'The truth [that comes] from your Lord; so whoever will, let him believe, and whoever will, let him disbelieve' - this is [meant as] a threat to them. Indeed We have prepared for the wrongdoers, that is, the disbelievers, a Fire, and they will be surrounded by its pavilion, [by] that which encloses [the Hellfire itself]. If they cry out for help, they will be succoured with water like molten copper, like thick [burning] oil, which scalds faces, because of [the intensity of] its heat, if it is brought near them. What an evil drink, that is, and how ill, is the Hellfire [as], a resting-place! (murtafaqan is a specification derived from the agent of the verb, in other words, vile is the person choosing to rest thereon; and this is in contrast to what He will say next about the Paradise: How fair a resting-place [below, verse 31]. For, indeed, what resting-place can there be in the Hellfire?
