About this audiobook
The Quran describes Saqar — the Scorching — as one of the names of the Fire, emphasizing the scorching, burning, and transformative quality of the punishment. The word appears in Surah al-Muddaththir: "I will soon cast him into Saqar. And what will make you know what Saqar is? It leaves nothing and spares nothing, scorching the skins" (74:26-29). The name *Saqar* carries the meaning of a fire that scorches — a fire that burns with such intensity that it alters what it touches, changing the very nature of the person it reaches.
