When the Seas Blaze

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ ۝٦

And when the seas rise.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

When the seas are set ablaze.

Insight

Elmalılı says “tasjir” means heating with blazing fire and filling, and relates that it may be the seas set aflame through volcanoes.

Reflect

Today, put out your anger instead of “stoking” it.
