14:51
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
Their garments shall be of pitch, and the fire shall envelop their faces.
English - Five Volume Translation
10:28; 23:105; 54:49.
Important Words:
قطران (pitch) is derived from قطر meaning, it dropped; or it dripped or fell in drops; or it flowed drop by drop. قطران means, tar or liquid pitch; what exudes from juniper or savin and from pine-tree and the like when subjected to the action of fire; قطران is used for smearing mangy camels (Lane).
Commentary:
The garment serves as a means of protection, but the garment of disbelievers in the next world shall be pitch, which means that they will have nothing to protect them from fire. Fire itself will, as it were, constitute their garment and the pitch will add to the torment.
English - Short Commentary Translation
Their garments will be, as if, of pitch and [b]the fire shall envelop their faces.
10:28; 23:105; 54:49.
