Al-Qari'ah 101:8–11
The abyss
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٨ فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌۭ ٩ وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ ١٠ نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ ١١
The meaning, simply
But the one whose scale of good deeds is light and whose bad deeds are heavy, his home is the abyss. And what will tell you what it is? It is a fiercely hot Fire.
