Translation (Sahih International)

Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Hell will be displayed before the Disbelievers on the Day of ResurrectionAllah tells us what He will do to the disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection. He will show Hell to them, meaning He will bring it forth for them to see its punishment and torment before they enter it. This will intensify their distress and grief.
