Transliteration:( Wa ta'aaman zaa ghussa tinw wa'azaaban aleemaa )
“And food that will choke the throat, and a painful punishment.”
This verse describes the horrific punishment that awaits those who reject the Prophet ﷺ:
They will be given food that chokes the throat — a symbol of unbearable torment and humiliation.
Along with that, they will suffer a painful punishment in the Hereafter.
🔥 These torments are specifically for the deniers who opposed the Prophet ﷺ with arrogance and hostility.
❤️ If Allah (اللَّهُ ) wills, sinful believers may be protected from such punishments due to His mercy, even if they were disobedient — as long as they had Iman (faith) in their hearts.
