ONE AYAT A DAY
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْۗ فَمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَّمَنْ شَاۤءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْۚ اِنَّآ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلظّٰلِمِيْنَ نَارًاۙ اَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَاۗ وَاِنْ يَّسْتَغِيْثُوْا يُغَاثُوْا بِمَاۤءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى الْوُجُوْهَۗ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا
Wa qulil-ḥaqqu mir rabbikum, faman syā'a falyu'miw wa man syā'a falyakfur, innā a‘tadnā liẓ-ẓālimīna nārā(n), aḥāṭa bihim surādiquhā, wa iy yastagīṡū yugāṡū bimā'in kal-muhli yasywil-wujūh(a), bi'sasy-syarāb(u), wa sā'at murtafaqā(n).
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.
The Truth is from Allah, and the Punishment of Those Who do not believe in itAllah says to His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ: "Say to the people, `What I have brought to you from your Lord is the truth, in which there is no confusion or doubt."'فَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ(Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve.) This is a type of threat and stern warning, after which Allah says,إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا(Verily, We have prepared), meaning made ready,لِّلظَّـلِمِينَ(for the wrongdoers,) meaning those who disbelieve in Allah, His Messenger and His Book,نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا(a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them.) Ibn Jurayj said that Ibn `Abbas said,أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا(a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them.) "A wall of fire."وَإِن يَسْتَغِيثُواْ يُغَاثُواْ بِمَآءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى الْوجُوهَ(And if they ask for drink, they will be granted water like Al-Muhl, that will scald their faces.) Ibn `Abbas said; "Al-Muhl is thick water which is similar to the sediment in oil." Mujahid said, "It is like blood and pus." `Ikrimah said, "It is the thing that is heated to the ultimate temperature." Others said: "It is everything that is melted." Qatadah said, "Ibn Mas`ud melted some gold in a grove, and when it became liquid and foam rose to the top, he said, this is the thing that is most like Al-Muhl." Ad-Dahhak…
