...
79:37
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
and the Hellfire will be displayed for all to see—
...
79:38

then as for those who transgressed
...
79:39
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

79:45
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had stayed ˹in the world˺ no more than one evening or its morning.
