12.Roasting of the Skins

Another punishment is the roasting of the skins. “Surely! Those who disbelieved in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allah is Ever Most Powerful, All­ Wise.” (4:56)

There is a scientific miracle in this ayah. We know that the concentrations of nerves that feel the pain of heat are in the skin. The muscle and fat tissue have less nerves. That is why you feel a needle going through your skin, but it going through the muscle doesn’t cause as much pain. Therefore, as soon as the skin is roasted, then Allah will give them new skin.
