A Three-Forked Shade
ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ ظِلࣲّ ذِي ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبࣲ ٣٠
Depart unto the shadow falling threefold.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“Proceed to a shadow having three columns.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, they have no right to the shade of the Throne reserved for believers; they are sent to the three-forked shade of Hell’s smoke.
Reflect
Do a good deed today to be worthy of the Throne’s shade.
