Water in the Qur'an                    237


           WATER IN HELL
           And beyond him is Hell where he will be given pus to drink. (Surah
          Ibrahim, 16)
           Say: 'It is the truth from your Lord; so let whoever wishes believe and
          whoever wishes disbelieve.' We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire
          whose billowing walls of smoke will hem them in. If they call for help,
          they will be helped with water like seething molten brass, frying their
          faces. What a noxious drink! What an evil repose! (Surat al-Kahf, 29)
           This! So let them taste it – boiling water and scalding pus. (Surah
          Sâd, 57)
           ... into the boiling water and then are thrown into the Fire! (Surah
          Ghafir, 72)
           Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling
          water. (Surat as-Saffat, 67)
           Abandon those who have turned their religion into a game and a di-
          version and who have been deluded by the life of this world. Remind
          by it lest a person is delivered up to destruction for what he has earned
          with no protector or intercessor besides Allah. Were he to offer every
          kind of compensation, it would not be accepted from him. Such people
          are delivered up to destruction for what they have earned. They will
          have scalding water to drink and a painful punishment because they
          were disbelievers. (Surat al-An'am, 70)
           And drink scalding water on top of it, slurping like thirst-crazed
          camels. (Surat al-Waq'ia, 54-55)
           The Companions of the Fire will call out to the Companions of the
          Garden, 'Throw down some water to us or some of what Allah has
          given you as provision.' They will say, 'Allah has forbidden them to
          the disbelievers. (Surat al-A'raf, 50)

           ALLAH SENDS DOWN WATER FROM THE SKY
           Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down
          water from the sky and by it brings forth fruits as provision for you.
          He has made the ships subservient to you to run upon the sea by His
          command, and He has made the rivers subservient to you. (Surah
          Ibrahim, 32)
