290            GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN


                 As for those who do not expect to meet Us and are content with the
               life of this world and at rest in it, and those who are heedless of Our
               Signs, their shelter will be the Fire because of what they earned. (Surah
               Yunus, 7-8)
                 Fire is Their Residence
                 Allah will admit those who believe to Gardens with rivers flowing
               under them.Those who disbelieve have their enjoyment, eating as cattle
               eat, but the Fire will be their final residence. (Surah Muhammad, 12)
                 There are Beds of Hell-Fire and Coverings of Hell
                 As for those who deny Our Signs and are arrogant regarding them,
               the Gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, and they will not
               enter the Garden until a camel goes through a needle's eye. That is
               how We repay the evildoers. Theirs will be a bed of hell, and over them
               coverings (of hell). That is how We repay wrongdoers. (Surat al-A'raf,
               40-41)
                 They Will be Tied to Columns in the Kindled Fire
                 And what will convey to you what the Shatterer is? The kindled Fire
               of Allah reaching right into the heart. It is sealed in above them in tow-
               ering columns. (Surat al-Humaza, 5-9)

                 They Will be Flung into a Narrow Place in Hell
                 When they are flung into a narrow place in it, shackled together in
               chains, they will cry out there for destruction. (Surat al-Furqan, 13)
                 They Will be Amid a Thick Black Smoke
                 Amid searing blasts and scalding water and the murk of thick black
               smoke, providing no coolness and no pleasure. (Surat al-Waqi'a, 42-44)
                 Hell Will be Surrounded by Walls
                 That Day the men and women of the hypocrites will say to those who
               believe, 'Wait for us so that we can borrow some of your light.' They will
               be told, 'Go back and look for light!'and a wall will be erected between
               them with a gate in it, on the inside of which there will be mercy but be-
               fore whose exterior lies the punishment. (Surat al-Hadid, 13)
                 Say: 'It is the truth from your Lord; so let whoever wishes believe and
               whoever wishes disbelieve.' We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire
