The metaphor of what they spend in their life in this world is that
            of a wind with an icy bite to it which strikes the crops of a people
            who have wronged themselves and destroys them. Allah did not
            wrong them; rather it was themselves they were wronging.
            (Qur'an, 3:117)
            As for those who desire the life of this world and its finery, We
            will give them full payment in it for their actions. They will not be
            deprived here of their due. But such people will have nothing in
            the hereafter but the Fire. What they achieved here will come to
            nothing. What they did will prove to be null and void. (Qur'an,
            11:15-16)

            THEY WILL RECEIVE PUNISHMENT
            BOTH IN THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD
            AND IN THE HEREAFTER
            They will receive punishment in the life of this world and the
            punishment of the hereafter is harsher still. They have no defender
            against Allah. (Qur'an, 13:34)
            So Allah made an example of him seizing him with punishment
            in this world and the hereafter. (Qur'an, 79:25)
