According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, Saqar (سقر) is a distinct name for Hellfire mentioned in the Quran, signifying an abode of intensely scorching punishment. Al-Qurtubi explains that the Arabic root of the word denotes a fire so hot that it alters and blackens the skin. The Quran specifies the inhabitants of Saqar as those who neglected prayer, failed to feed the poor, and denied the Day of Judgment. Ibn Kathir's exegesis of Surah Al-Muddaththir emphasizes that these actions are the direct causes for entering this dreadful place. Al-Tabari's commentary on the Quranic description of Saqar highlights its all-consuming nature, a fire that spares nothing and is guarded by nineteen formidable angels. While some scholars consider it a specific level of Hell (Jahannam), others view it as one of its descriptive names, with all agreeing on its terrifying reality as a consequence of disbelief and disobedience.
