Explanatory Note

Believers, on the other hand, are spared all this hardship, because they have been promised a goodly life in the hereafter.

The phrase, ‘its hissing sound’, or its one word equivalent in Arabic used here, hasīsahā, belongs to a number of Qur’ānic terms with sounds that impart meaning. It describes the sound of the fire as it rages and burns. It is an extremely frightening sound. Hence, those given the promise of a good destiny are spared that sound, let alone suffering it.
