Transliteration:( Qaalub noo lahoo bun yaanan fa alqoohu fil jaheem )
"They said: 'Build [97] for him a high wooden structure, then cast him in the flaming fire.'"
In response, they decided to construct a massive structure—a concrete-like building measuring approximately thirty yards long, twenty yards wide, and thirty yards high.
They gathered and burned countless sticks to create a giant bonfire, and then threw Hazrat Ebrahim (peace be upon him) alive into it.
This verse highlights that burning someone alive is a practice of disbelievers. A strong warning against such a barbaric act is also reported in Hadith Shareef, making it strictly forbidden in Islam.
