What is Sijjeen? – Commentary (Tafseer) of the Verse 83:8

"And what do you know what Sijjeen is?"

A Terrifying Place for the Wicked

Sijjeen is described as an extremely frightening place located beneath the seventh layer of the earth.

  • It is said to be the headquarters of Iblees (Satan) and his soldiers.
  • It is where the records of evil people’s deeds are kept, signifying their disgrace.
  • Although all paper and ink belong to Allah, the books of the righteous are honored, while the records of the sinful are kept in filth and dishonor.

Just as the pages of the Holy Quran are sacred and deserve respect, the pages of sinful writings, such as immoral novels and theatre scripts, hold no value and are fit for destruction.
