In sura 101:10 وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ

[rasul8519]

Peace Rasul8519.

In some Sunni translation the word hiyah/ (She) was intepretate as Hell of Hawiyah.Hmmm it looks like the word "hiyah" in 10110 has different meaning rather than "She".

Let's we try reading surrounding ayah

1018
As for him whose weights are light.
1019
His back/abode is haawiyah

This means "haawiyah" is a place.Then the following verses is Q&A.

Q 10110
And what you know hiyah is?
A 10111
A burning fire.

This means hiyah or hawiyah according surah 101 is a burning fire and possibly it's a HELL.

1019,

His abode is the pit/abyss

10110,

And what you understand what IT (abyss) is?

10111,

A blazing Fire!

is a feminine pronoun and refers back to in verse 1019, which is a feminine noun and can be translated as IT or THAT in English.

Arabic is a DUAL GENDER language. All nouns in Arabic are either masculine, HE or feminine, SHE. There is no neuter, IT in Arabic. That is why most translators take that matter very LITERALLY and translate the Arabic pronouns accordingly, i.e. translate them as either HE or SHE. But I think Using common sense is the best approach.

Peace,

It is third person singular feminine pronoun referring . The last consonant is for pause; because following word is beginning with Noon.

[Mazhar]

She is used in English also to refer to objects. Therefore, she should be used for feminine objects and it should be used for masculine pronoun referring objects.

The pronouns are indeclinable. They are what they are. Since the last word in the sentence is the pronoun, if it is not augmented with a Sukoon, the next word beginning with Noon would be joined with it in speech rendering the next Noon of Naar with shedda-double Noon; and the listener will get confused as to what is stated because then the following word will be heard and processed by auditory faculty as definite noun.

Arabic cares both for the convenience of speaker and the listener. Hope it clarifies.
