22. Which is the abode of the rebellious [16].

[16] ﴿مِرْصَاد﴾ means an ambush or a place where a hunter lies in wait to catch an unsuspecting prey. Then, when the prey comes within his reach, he suddenly seizes it. The deniers of the Hereafter are also the heedless prey of Hell, who, unaware and unconcerned about the outcome, are living freely on earth. As soon as they die, Hell will immediately seize them. It is already waiting for when it will be provided with some prey.
