Three times in a row the sura warns the reader that "you shall know" that those who sow discord are headed towardsHell . Here, proper understanding is required for entrance intoParadise , and should one not attain this onEarth , one will receive the "eye of certainty" on theDay of Judgment , when "you shall be questioned ... concerning true bliss".Content
