Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (We have made it a reminder and a provision for those who are provided for)

Allah the Exalted said:
We have made it a reminderنَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً
[Al-Waqi'ah: 73] It serves as a reminder of the Fire—the Fire of the Hereafter—even though the Fire of the Hereafter is superior to this one by sixty-nine parts compared to all the fires of this world, including the intensely hot fires.
and a provision for travelers.وَمَتَاعاً لِلْمُقْوِينَ
[Al-Waqi'ah: 73] That is, for travelers; they benefit from the fire through warmth and as a guide to their location, because at that time, and until recently, people would identify locations by a fire they placed on a high spot to guide the lost. The fire is cited as an example of guidance,As al-Khansa said in mourning her brother Sukhrah:
and indeed, a rock by which the guides are guided, as if it were a signal with a fire on its peak.

Meaning: a mountain by which people find their way.
