    📖 Commentary of Surah As-Saffaat – Verse 97

    "They said: 'Build [97] for him a high wooden structure, then cast him in the flaming fire.'"

    ✅ [97] The Infidels’ Plot to Burn Ebrahim

    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.
