When the oceans surge and swell,
And when the seas are set afire.
when the seas shall be set boiling,
and when the seas boil over,
And when the seas shall be filled,
And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow;
When the oceans are set aflame.
when the seas shall be set boiling,
And when the seas become as blazing fire.
And when the seas rise,
when the seas are set afire,
when the seas are set boiling,
And when the seas are filled with flame
the oceans are brought to a boil,
And when the seas are set on fire,
Wai<u>tha</u> albi<u>ha</u>ru sujjirat
and when the seas are set on fire,
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
When the seas are lit until they become a fire.
When the seas are lit until they become a fire.
<p>وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ‌ سُجِّرَ‌تْ (and when the seas will be flared up...81:6). The word sujjirat is derived from tasfir and it signifies 'to set ablaze'. Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ assigns this interpretation to the word in this context. Another sense of the word is 'to fill' and a third sense of the word is 'to mix or admix'. Some commentators have interpreted it in this sense. None of these interpretations is contradictory to each other. First, the salt and sweet water are admixed and the rivers are made to flow forth into the sea; then the seas will meet together and become one and having more water; then the seas will be set on fire; and then the Sun and the Moon and the stars will be thrown into the water. Then all the water will be turned into fire which will become part of Hell. [ Mazhari ]</p>
