Surah Ad-Dukhan — 44:43

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Inna shajarataz zaqqoom

Doğrusu günahkarların yiyeceği zakkum ağacıdır; karınlarda suyun kaynaması gibi kaynayan, erimiş maden gibidir.

Indeed, the tree of Zaqqum

Reflection

The sentence started here needs the line after it to finish, so the tree stands alone for a beat before anything is said of it. Zaqqum is named three times across the whole book, each time as something eaten, and 37:64 puts its roots in the depths of the fire. The three lines after it stay inside the vocabulary of cooking: boiling, a belly, scalding water.
