Surah 78 - "the News"
Surah 78 in English:
A line is drawn in the sand at (the top of the one) 18.
The Surah begins discussing the fate of paired humans. Presumably romantic partners.
The horn is blown, signaling the appointed time, in Verse 18.
The transgressors remain in hell for "ages". I detect symbolism: for picking the wrong ages, below 18.
78:33 And full breasted [companions] of equal age.
33 degrees of Freemasonry symbolize initiatory completion. The reward for obedience is full breasted women of appropriate age - 18 or above.
It is true that the Surah is about Judgement Day, when the actual symbolism will be finalized. But I suspect it is intended to standardize 18 as the age of consent within Islam, and to point out the worst offenders in hell at the End of Days are age offenders.
