The Holy Quran 39:16 — Surah Az-Zumar

Arabic text

لَهُم مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَمِن تَحْتِهِمْ ظُلَلٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ عِبَادَهُۥ ۚ يَـٰعِبَادِ فَٱتَّقُونِ

Translation

They (the Kuffaar and Mushrikeen) shall have flames (of clouds) above them and flames beneath them (in Jahannam). It is with these things (these types of punishment) that Allaah warns His bondsmen. O my bondsmen! Fear Me!

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, the fire will surround them on every side, as clouds gather and overspread everything. that is, understand: is this something worth fearing or not? If it is, then one should always fear Allah’s wrath.
