Al-Inshiqaq (The Sundering): (23) And Allah knows best what they conceal...

The root of the word (أوعى) comes from a container (وعاء). It is said: "He contained the thing" (أوعى الشيء), meaning he placed it in a container, as stated:

"And gathered and hoarded" (Al-Ma'arij: 18).

And Allah knows best what they gather in their breasts of polytheism (الشرك) and denial (التكذيب); He will recompense them for it in this world and the Hereafter.


{ So give them tidings of a painful punishment. }

Then the Almighty said:

{ So give them tidings of a painful punishment. }
