Al-Mursalat 77:31
The Emissaries · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 581
No Shade
لَّا ظَلِيلࣲ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ ٣١
(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Neither shading nor availing against the flame.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, since that shade is forked, flames rush between its prongs; so it is of no use and gives no refuge.
Reflect
Choose your true refuge from today.
