11:103

إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لآيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ ٱلآخِرَةِ ذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ

 

Inna fee thaalika la aayatal liman khaafa 'athaabal Aakhirah; thaalika Yawmum majmoo'ul lahun naasu wa thaalika Yawmum mashhood

 

The Aya says:

In this is a sign for whoever is wary of the suffering in the coming life.  That is a day people are gathered in and that is a day that is witnessed.

 

My personal note:

It is a reminder that we should be wary of the coming life.  We are all going to be gathered to it and its punishment is very hard.  So those of us who are conscious should work to avoid that outcome.

'athaaba: suffering of/ punishment of

 alAakhirah: the remaining (life)/ the next life

The concrete meaning is the honey mixed with wax therefore the wax is the witness of the truth that the honey is the honey. Another concrete meaning is the baby that was just born and is covered with a membrane. In both, there is close association which is proof or witness of the fact.
