English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
Over it are nineteen angels.
English - Five Volume Translation
Over it are nineteen angels.
Commentary:
"Nineteen", may refer here to man’s natural powers and faculties which, according to some Sufis or mystics are nineteen in number. Proper use of these faculties or powers helps a person’s spiritual development while their misuse causes his moral death. In consonance with these nineteen faculties, which constitute the real source or instrument of a man’s good or bad actions, nineteen angels will be appointed to cleanse the guilty of their sins; each angel being entrusted with the duty of cleansing sins committed through one particular faculty. In fact, Hell as conceived by the Quran is a purgatory where the human soul, after being cured of its spiritual maladies, will resume uniform spiritual development.
English - Short Commentary Translation
Over it are nineteen angels.
Man has been endowed with nine major senses, i.e. the seven exteroceptive senses, one proprioceptive sense of position in space and one enteroceptive sense arising from internal organs relating to sensations of hunger, thirst, etc. These coupled with their nine spiritual counterparts together with the guardian or the controlling sense, i.e. the will power which dominates and controls all these different faculties of human nature, are the nineteen guardians of Hell. Or, the number "nineteen" may be a great Divine secret specially concerning the People of the Book of which the significance and reality will be disclosed in God’s own time and will make them acknowledge the truth of the Quranic teaching and will add greatly to the certainty of faith of the believers. Who dare claim to know all the Divine secrets?
