إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ
The righteous are surely in bliss, and the wicked are surely in Hellfire. (Al-Infitar 82:13–14)
Both clauses are declarative. The first describes the righteous; the second contrasts their fate with that of the wicked. The paired expressions abrar/fujjar and na‘im/jahim create a clear thematic comparison.
The wāw does not combine unrelated opposites: it places two contrasting outcomes within a single coherent account.
