THE PUNISHMENT THE UNBELIEVERS
WILL RECEIVE IN RETURN FOR THEIR
DENIAL OF THE DAY OF RESURRECTION
But as for anyone who turns away and does not believe, Allah
will punish him with the Greatest Punishment. (Qur'an, 88:23-24)
And what will teach you what the Day of Decision is? On that
Day, woe to the deniers! Did We not destroy the earlier peoples,
then succeed them with later ones? That is how We deal with
evildoers. On that Day, woe to the deniers! (Qur'an, 77:14-19)
On that Day, woe to the deniers! Proceed to that which you denied!
Proceed to a shadow which forks into three (Qur'an, 77:28-30)
But instead, they deny the Hour; and We have prepared a Searing
Blaze for those who deny the Hour. When it sees them coming
from a long way off, they will hear it seething and rasping. When
they are flung into a narrow place in it, shackled together in chains,
they will cry out there for destruction. (Qur'an, 25:11-13)
That Day no one will punish as He punishes and no one will
shackle as He shackles. (Qur'an, 89:25-26)

THE PENITENCE THE UNBELIEVERS
WILL FEEL ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION
Those who deny the meeting with Allah have lost, so that, when
the Hour comes upon them suddenly, they will say, 'Alas for what
we neglected there!' They will bear their burdens on their backs.
How evil is what they bear! (Qur'an, 6:31)
They will say, 'Alas for us! Who has raised us from our resting-
place? This is what the All-Merciful promised us. The Messengers
were telling the truth.' (Qur'an, 36:52)
