Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (You will surely see the Hellfire)]

Allah the Exalted said:
(6) You will surely see the Hellfire. (7) Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ * ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
[Al-Takathur: 6-7] (You will surely see) This is an independent clause, not the answer to the conditional "if,"Therefore, the reciter must pause at his saying:
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
[Al-Takathur: 5] We often hear many imams who possess knowledge reciting in a way that connects them, saying:
(5) No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty... (6) You will surely see the Hellfire.كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ * لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
[Al-Takathur: 5-6] This connection is either due to their negligence and forgetfulness, or because they did not reflect upon the verse with proper reflection; otherwise, if they had reflected upon it with proper reflection, they would have found that the connection corrupts the meaning;Because if he says:
(5) No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty... (6) You will surely see the Hellfire.كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ * لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
[Al-Takathur: 5-6] seeing the Hellfire becomes conditional upon their knowledge, and this is not correct. Therefore, one must be alert and point this out if you hear someone reciting:
(5) No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty... (6) You will surely see the Hellfire.كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ * لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
[Al-Takathur: 5-6] point it out to him,Say: O my brother, your connection here implies a corruption of the meaning,And you should pause first: because it is the beginning of a verse, and it is prescribed that a person should pause at the beginning of every verse.

And secondly: that the connection corrupts the meaning
(5) No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty... (6) You will surely see the Hellfire.كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ * لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
[Al-Takathur: 5-6] Thus
You will surely see the Hellfire.لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
[Al-Takathur: 6] is a resumed clause with no connection to what precedes it,It is an oath clause containing an implied oath, and the estimation is: By Allah, you will surely see the Hellfire.

Therefore, the grammarians say in its parsing: The letter "lam" is prepared for the oath, and the clause "you will see" is the answer to the oath, and the oath is omitted,and the implied meaning is: By Allah, you will surely see the Hellfire.
And the Hellfire is one of the names of the Fire.
