009-5 The Cave 18:29 - Boiling water will scald the faces


Translation, Commentary & Explanation of Chapter 18 Al-Kahfi.

The meaning of Verse 29

Say, "The Truth is from your Lord. Who wants to believe, let them believe. And who wants to reject, let them reject."
We have prepare for those who reject The Truth, fire, which will surround them from all sides like a wall.
And when they beg for drinking water, they will be given drinking water hot like molten lead, or boiling oil, which will scald their faces.
How dreadful is the drink! How miserable is that resting place (Hell).
====================================================
Imam Jalalain commented that :-
1) the sentence,
"And who wants to reject, let them reject." is a warning from God. It is not an option.
2) the word 'resting place' in this verse has a negatif meaning. It is an opposite to Verse 31 later in this same Chapter 18, which means;
"And Paradise is the most pleasant resting place"
It must be understood in this way, as it is not appropiate to say that Hell is a 'resting place'.
