200 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

for just one destruction, cry out for many destructions!' (Surat al-
Furqan, 13-14)
They ask you to hasten the punishment but Hell already encircles
the disbelievers. On the Day the punishment envelops them from
above them and from underneath their feet, He will say, 'Taste what
you were doing!' (Surat al-Ankabut, 54-55)
They Will Eat From the Tree of Zaqqum
and the Thorny Bush
Is that better by way of hospitality or the tree of Zaqqum which We
have made to be an ordeal for the wrongdoers? It is a tree that emerges
in the depths of the Blazing Fire. Its fruits are just like the heads of sa-
tans. They will eat from it and fill their bellies with it. (Surat as-Saffat,
62-66)
They have no food but a bitter thorny bush which neither nourishes
nor satisfies. (Surat al-Ghashiyya, 6-7)
He used not to believe in Allah the Magnificent, nor did he urge the
feeding of the poor. Therefore here today he has no friend nor any food
except exuding pus which no one will eat except those who were in
error.' (Surat al-Haqqa, 33-37)
And beyond him is Hell where he will be given pus to drink. He
gulps at it but can hardly swallow it down. Death comes at him from
every side but he does not die. And beyond him is relentless punish-
ment. (Surah Ibrahim, 16-17)
The Tree of az-Zaqqum is the food of the wicked, seething in the
belly like molten brass, as boiling water bubbles and seethes. (Surat
ad-Dukhan, 43-46)
They Will Wear Garments of Fire
Here are two rival groups who disputed concerning their Lord.
Those who disbelieve will have garments of fire cut out for them, and
boiling water poured over their heads. (Surat al-Hajj, 19)

Their Shirts Will Be of Tar
Wearing shirts of tar, their faces enveloped in the Fire. (Surah
Ibrahim, 50)
