[2996] This sura, as in this aya, depicts a truly horrid picture of Hell. Realistic and repulsive imagery deliver a vivid picture that appeals to imagination more than any general, abstract language could. It makes a direct impression on the mind and heart, resulting in a ‘visualization’ of the consequences of one’s evil actions. What the evildoers will come to experience after resurrection and reckoning is well and truly ‘out of this world’; a humiliating and painful ordeal that affects all the senses: visual, tactile and gustatory. A stark ‘cautioning’ indeed against their wrongful course of action.
