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)
