    79:36

    waburrizati l-jaḥīmu liman yarā

    And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

37. فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ٣٧

    79:37

    fa-ammā man ṭaghā

    So as for he who transgressed

38. وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا٣٨

    79:38

    waāthara l-ḥayata l-dun'yā

39. فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ٣٩

    79:39

    fa-inna l-jaḥīma hiya l-mawā

    Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

    79:41

    fa-inna l-janata hiya l-mawā

    Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
