Surah Al-A'la
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-A'la: a stone path turning away from a lit mud-brick house and leading down into a dark valley with a distant red glow under a heavy dusk sky
Al-A'la 87:11–13

The great Fire

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى ١١ ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ١٢ ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ١٣

The meaning, simply
