When the burning blaze is made to rise


After the sky has been peeled, what is behind - paradise and Hell - become visible. The word سعر literally means the price of something. Just as a price gradually rises,

this root came to be used to mean rising and coming up. This verse shows that Hell fire will be below people on judgment day, and its flames will be made to rise up.
