Proving the Punishment of the Grave from the Noble Qur'an. Allah the Exalted said: "The Fire; they are presented to it in the morning and in the evening..."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : In this verse that we mentioned first,

and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment - ⁽⁴⁶⁾ The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."

وحاق بآل فرعون سوء العذاب النار يعرضون عليها غدواً وعشياً ويوم تقوم الساعة أدخلوا آل فرعون أشد العذاب

[Ghafir 40:45-46]

some scholars used this verse as evidence for proving the punishment of the grave. They said that the punishment of the grave is established by the Qur'an, just as it is established by the mass-transmitted Sunnah among the Muslims. Is there truth in this argument, or is it an argument in the wrong place?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : How is that?
The student: Because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: ...

The Shaykh : He said:

The Fire, they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."

النار يعرضون عليها غدواً وعشياً النار ويوم تقوم الساعة أدخلوا آل فرعون أشد العذاب

[Ghafir 40:46]

That is all. So His saying

In the morning and in the evening.

غدواً وعشياً

means before the Hour of Resurrection.

And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."

ويوم تقوم الساعة أدخلوا آل فرعون أشد العذاب

[Ghafir 40:46]

Is there another verse that indicates this? Yes, who knows it?
