The Punishment of the Disbeliever and what Their State will be in Hell Having told us how the blessed will be (in Paradise), Allah now starts to tell us what the state of doomed will be.He says:وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ لَاا يُقْضَى عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُواBut those who disbelieve, for them will be the fire of Hell. Neither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that they die,This is like the Ayah:لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىWherein he will neither die nor live. (20:74) It was reported in Sahih Muslim that the Messenger of Allah said:أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا فَلَ يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَوْنAs for the people of Hell who will dwell therein, they will neither live nor die there. And Allah says:وَنَادَوْاْ يمَـلِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَّـكِثُونَAnd they will cry (to the keeper of Hell):"O Malik! Let your Lord make an end of us."He will say:"Verily, you shall abide forever." (43:77) When they are in this state, they will think that if only they could die, it would be a time of rest for them, but that can never happen to them.Allah says:لَاا يُقْضَى عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا وَلَاا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُم مِّنْ عَذَابِهَاNeither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that they die nor shall its torment be lightened for them.This is like the Ayat:إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَـلِدُونَلَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَVerily, the criminals will be in the torment of Hell to abide therein forever. (That) will not be lightened for them, and they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair therein. (43:74-75) كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَاهُمْ سَعِيرًاwhenever it abates, We shall increase for them the fierceness of the Fire. (17:97)and,فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلاَّ عَذَاباًSo taste you. No increase shall We give you, except in torment. (78:30) Then Allah says:كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي كُلَّ كَفُورٍThus do We requite every disbeliever!meaning, this is the recompense of everyone who disbelieved in his Lord and denied the truth
