• فَمَا ظَنُّ مَنْ إِنْطَوَتْ سَرِيرَتُهُ عَلَى الْبِدْعَةِ وَالْهَوَّاتِ وَالتَّعَصُّبِ لِلآرَاءِ بِرَبِّهِ يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ؟

  So what will become of someone whose inner self has embraced innovation, passions, and stubborn partisanship toward opinions about his Lord on the Day when secrets are exposed?

  وَالْهَوَّاتِ — and passions. The wa- coordinates this with the previous vice, so the list runs 'innovation and whims'. The plural noun is genitive as another item the preposition governs. The single prefixed 'and' keeps the catalogue of failings parallel.
