Abstract
"Alongside its descriptions of the blessings of Paradise, the Holy Qur’an also vividly depicts the torments of Hell, presenting tangible and powerful images of God’s wrath and anger towards sinners, criminals, and disbelievers. It offers a sensory and terrifying portrayal of the Fire, describing the guardians of Hell, its vastness, its heat, its smoke, and its fuel, which consists of people and stones. The musicality of the Qur’an plays a profound role in conveying these concepts to the audience, and, in reality, the phonological system of the Qur’an is among the first levels that capture the attention of the listener. This study, employing a descriptive-analytical method, aims to explore the linguistic and phonetic dimensions of the verses concerning the punishments on the Day of Judgment and to clarify the role of phonetic markers within the semantic system of these verses in depicting the punishment of criminals. The most significant finding of this research is that short phonetic syllables are repeated in the verses of punishment at a rate of 42%, indicating the psychological tension, anxiety, and regret of the inhabitants of Hell over lost opportunities. A statistical analysis of the verses describing the food and drink of the inhabitants of Hell reveals that the qalqala attribute occurs 66 times within these verses, illustrating the agitation, anxiety, and turmoil that overwhelm the bodies of the inhabitants of Hell after consuming the food and drink of Hell, shaking their bodies violently. Additionally, the safir attribute is repeated 57 times within these verses, signifying the moaning and cries that emerge from the depths of their beings.
