The Holy Quran 81:6 — Surah At-Takwir

Arabic text

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

Translation

When the oceans are set alight (to boil). (the waters of the ocean will be heated and when the heat becomes intense, all the water will evaporate and fire will then take its place.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The seas will be set ablaze like fire: that is, the water of the seas will heat up and turn into smoke and fire, which, becoming extremely hot, will torment the disbelievers at the place of Gathering and will seethe like an oven being stoked.
