204            GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN


               no one to intercede for us; we do not have a single loyal friend. If only
               we could have another chance then we would be among the believers!'
               There is certainly a Sign in that, yet most of them are not believers.
               (Surat ash-Shuara, 96-103)
                 They Will Breathe in Pain and Sadness
                 As for those who are wretched, they will be in the Fire, where they
               will sigh and gasp. (Surah Hud, 106)
                 There Will Be Groaning
                 For them therein shall be groaning and therein they shall not hear.
               (Surat al-Anbiya, 100)
                 There is the Punishment of Humiliation
                 On the Day when those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire:
               'You dissipated the good things you had in your worldly life and en-
               joyed yourself in it. So today you are being repaid with the punish-
               ment of humiliation for being arrogant in the earth without any right
               and for being deviators.' (Surat al-Ahqaf, 20)
                 As for those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and overstep
               His limits, We will admit them into a Fire, remaining in it timelessly,
               for ever. They will have a humiliating punishment. (Surat an-Nisa', 14)
                 Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against
               Allah or denies His Signs, or who says, 'It has been revealed to me,'
               when nothing has been revealed to him, or someone who says, 'I will
               send down the same as Allah has sent down'? If you could only see the
               wrongdoers in the throes of death when the angels are stretching out
               their hands, saying, 'Disgorge your own selves! Today you will be re-
               paid with the punishment of humiliation for saying something other
               than the truth about Allah, and being arrogant about His Signs.' (Surat
               al-An'am, 93)
                 They Will Have No Friends
                 Therefore here today he has no friend. (Surat al-Haqqa, 35)
                 Disbelievers Will be Dragged Along the Ground
                 No indeed! If he does not desist, We will drag him by the forelock, a
               lying, sinful forelock. Let him call his attendants. (Surat al-'Alaq, 15-17)
