60 Preface وَيَومَ القِيامَةِ تَرَى الَّذينَ كَذَبوا عَلَى اللَّهِ وُجوهُهُم مُسوَدَّةٌ ۚ أَلَيسَ في جَهَنَّمَ مَثوًى لِلمُتَكَبِّرينَYusuf AliOn the Day of Judgment wilt thou see those who told lies against God.- their faces will be turned black;1 Is there not in Hell an abode2 for the Haughty?As spotless white is the symbol of purity, honour and truth, so black is the symbol of evil, disgrace, and falsehood. Perhaps “black” in connection with Hell also refers to the scorching punishment of the Fire.Cf. above, 39:32, and n. 4292, where the subtle implication of the interrogative form is explained.
