Surah 90. Al-Balad, Ayah 20
| عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُؤْصَدَةٌ |
| Transliteration | : | calay -him naar mu's.adah |
| Pickthall | : | Fire will be an awning over them. |
| Asad | : | [with] fire closing in upon them.9 |
| Malik | : | having fire all around them. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | On them will be Fire Vaulted over (all round). |
Note - 9I.e., the fires of despair in the life to come "rising
over the [sinners'] hearts" and "closing in upon them":
cf. {104:6-8} and the corresponding note [5]. The phrase
rendered by me as "such as have lost themselves in evil"
reads, literally, "people of the left side
(al-mash'amah)".
