The description of hellfire in this chapter relies on localized, physical engineering concepts to describe a transcendent spiritual reality.
Surah 104:8-9:
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them, In extended columns.
The Logical Inversion: The text defines ultimate divine wrath as trapping the wicked inside a vault sealed with physical "extended columns" or metal pillars ('amadin mumaddadah).
This imagery is entirely derived from 7th-century human prisons, where inmates were locked behind heavy physical gates reinforced by columns to prevent escape.
Critics point out that an omnipotent God does not need to build physical masonry or install architectural structural pillars to keep immaterial human souls or demonic entities confined within a spiritual dimension of judgment. This emphasizes a localized, human imagination relying on physical confinement imagery.
