    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Mu’minun – Verse 104

    "The flame of the fire shall smite their faces and they shall glower therein [144]."

    ✅ [144] Hellfire Strikes the Faces of Disbelievers

    This verse refers specifically to the punishment of disbelievers—the flames will directly hit their faces, a symbol of complete disgrace and pain.
    They will grimace and glower in agony, reflecting both inner rage and outer suffering.

    🔹 However, according to authentic Hadith, the faces and sujood (prostration) parts of believers will not be harmed by Hellfire, showing Allah’s special protection for those who once bowed before Him.

    [968]- Their lips having been contracted by scorching until the teeth are exposed.
