Raging and Roaring
Bismillah
Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) says:
إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِير
When it sees them from a far place, they will hear its raging and its roaring. Suratul Furqan, verse 12
What is the “it” and “them” in this verse referring too? When the hell fire sees the disbelievers. Hell fire will see them from a far place, and they will hear it تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا , raging with fury and roaring. Imagine: the disbelievers will not even see the fire yet, but they will hear it even though they are far (ba’eed). Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) says in another surah:
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
