Sura 111
Aya 5
5
في جيدِها حَبلٌ مِن مَسَدٍ

Ali Unal

Around her neck will be a halter of strongly twisted rope.1
  • Abū Lahab’s wife, Arwā Umm Jamīl, was no less than her husband in her enmity to the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings. She scattered thorns along the Messenger’s way and in front of his house. She also slandered him and the Message he brought, with a view to kindling flames of hatred and enmity against him and his followers. So the Qur’ān announces the type of punishment that she would be given in Hell. She will both burn in the Hellfire and carry the wood of her fire around her neck, the part of her body where she wore precious necklaces.
