Certainly Hell lies in wait,
Indeed hell is lying in ambush.
Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush,
[On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] –
Verily the Hell is an ambuscade:
Truly, Hell is a place of ambush,
Hell is lying in ambush.
Surely the Hell is an ambush,
Truly, Hell is a place of ambush
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,
Indeed hell is in ambush,
Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush,
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
Hell will lie in wait (for its prey).
Surely hell lies in wait,
Inna jahannama k<u>a</u>nat mir<u>sa</u>d<u>a</u><b>n</b>
Surely, Hell lies in wait,
Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
Indeed, hell is watchful, lying in wait.
Indeed, hell is watchful, lying in wait.
<p>إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْ‌صَادًا (Surely Jahannam [ the Hell ] is set in ambush. 78:21). The word mirsad means 'an ambush' or 'lying in wait to attack unawares' or 'a secret position for surprise attack'. Here Hell refers to the bridge of Hell. The angels of reward and punishment will lie in wait. The angels of punishment will make a surprise attack on the inmates of Hell, and the angels of reward will lie in wait to accompany the inmates of Paradise and take them to their abode. [ Mazhari ]</p><p>Sayyidna Hasan Basri (رح) said that there will be an outpost of guardian angels on the bridge of Hell. If anyone has a permit to enter Paradise, he will be permitted to enter; but if anyone does not have the permit to enter Paradise, he will be prevented from entering it. [ Qurtubi ]</p>
