P. 239
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)
