Context in Al-Mulk (Ayah 8)

Hell nearly tamayyazu min al-ghayz—splits apart from rage—whenever a fawj, company, is cast in. Khazanatuha, its keepers, ask alam ya'tikum nazeer: did no warner come? Classical tafsir treats dialogue in Hell as part of accountability: deniers will confess warnings reached them.

Personified rage shows Hell is not passive furnace but active justice. Each new group triggers interrogation, foreshadowing verses 9–10 where inmates admit rejecting warners.
