يَوْمَ يُحْمَىٰ عَلَيْهَا فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَىٰ بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ هَٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ

Where other meanings fail

partisan zeal

88:4

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

Alternative: they enter a fire of partisan zeal

Research rendering: they enter a blazing fire

The participle directly modifies fire; the separate heating-and-branding occurrence confirms a thermal lexeme.

protected animal

101:11

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ

Alternative: the fire is a protected animal

Research rendering: the fire is blazing

The fire predicate requires thermal intensity; named-category identity cannot substitute across the surface collision.
