Some Islamic scholars believe in a literal meaning of this tree grown in fire, showing the inverted flora of hell. The inhabitants of hell are forced to eat the tree's fruits, which tears their bodies apart and releases bodily fluids as a punishment. According to Shaykh Umar Sulayman Al-Ashqar, a professor at the University of Jordan, once the palate of the sinners is satiated, the fruit in their bellies churns like burning oil. Other scholars suggest the tree is grown by the seeds of the evils deeds of the sinners, therefore the devilish fruits are the fruits of their bad actions during lifetime. Ibn Arabi stated, the tree stands for the arrogant self.[7][8] Part of a series on Eschatology Buddhist [show] Christian [show] Hindu [show] Islamic [show] Jewish [show] Taoist [show] Zoroastrian [show] Inter-religious [show] v t e Botany The name zaqqum has been applied to the species Euphorbia abyssinica by the Beja people in eastern Sudan.[9] In Jordan, it is applied to the species Balanites aegyptiaca.[10] In Turkey, zaqqum (zakkum) is Nerium oleander.[citation needed] References Quran 17:60 Quran 37:62-68 Quran 44:43 Quran 56:52 Farooqi, M.I.H.
