On 78:21–22
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
78:21-22 Mirsâd مِرْصَاد is a closed nursing home. This is the description of hell where the sinners will undergo their treatment. A “nursing home” is the concept conveyed about hell. Rûmî explains the concept of punishment in fire in the following words in his Mathnawî: “Look at the pea in the pot, how it leaps up when it feels the fire. While boiling it rises to the top and cries, Why are you setting fire under me? No! Boil nicely now, and do not try to leap away from one who has made the fire. It is not because you are hateful to him that he boils you, He boils you so that you gain flavour, and become nutritious and mingle with essential spirit. This affliction is not because you are despised. When you were green and fresh, you were drinking the water in the garden, that water drinking was for the sake of this fire.”
