The Literal Meaning of ﴿فوأد﴾:
﴿أفْئِدَةَ﴾ is the plural of ﴿فوأد﴾, which is derived from ﴿فأد﴾, and ﴿فَأدَ اللَحْمَ﴾ means to roast meat, while ﴿لَحْمٌ فَئِيْد﴾ means roasted meat. According to Ibn al-Faris, this word indicates heat and intense burning. ﴿فُوَادُ﴾ refers to that part of the heart which is connected to human emotions, the intensity of feelings, and their impact. The meaning is that this is a fire kindled by Allah that will reach that part of the heart which is the center of emotions, where the passion for wealth resides, and which is filled with feelings of looking down upon others and considering oneself to be something great. This fire will roast those emotions and that part of the heart.
