18.52-53

وَ یَوْمَ یَقُوْلُ نَادُوْا شُرَكَآءِیَ الَّذِیْنَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَهُمْ وَ جَعَلْنَا بَیْنَهُمْ مَّوْبِقًا(52) وَ رَاَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ مُّوَاقِعُوْهَا وَ لَمْ یَجِدُوْا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا۠ (53)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And ˹remember˺ the Day when Allah will say, “Call upon those whom you considered to be my partners.” Then they will call upon them, so they will not answer them, and We will create a valley of destruction between them.[1] And the transgressors will see the Fire and will be certain that they are about to fall into it, and they will not find a way out of it.[1]

Commentary

[1]

“مَوۡبِقْ” is one of the levels of Hell, or, it unrestrictedly refers to a place of ruin. Sayyidunā ʿAbdullah ibn ʿAbbās رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا states that “مَوۡبِقْ” is the name of a valley in Hell. (Tafsīr Al-Khāzin, Surah Al-Kahf, under the verse 52, vol. 3, p. 215; Tafsīr Al-Madārik, Surah Al-Kahf, under the verse 52, p. 655, selected)

[2]

When the wrongdoers are driven towards Hell, they will be certain of falling into it after witnessing it. They will not find any space to turn away from it, for Hell will surround them from every direction.
