The Torment in the Fire

People who rebel against Allah and refuse to accept His existence

will also be repaid for what they did. They did not accept Allah or believe
that He is the One Who creates everything, and they showed arrogance,

rebelled in this world. In return for all these, they will be punished in the

Fire.
Some people commit various crimes in this world. In situations

where no one sees them, they may also go unpunished. But these people
fail to acknowledge that Allah sees them every moment, and that He

knows even their inner thoughts.
Everyone will be repaid for the good or bad acts they perform.

Allah has infinite justice, and in the verses of the Qur'an He gives the glad
tidings that even the tiniest good deed will be bountifully rewarded. Allah

also informs us that people will be rewarded if they repent and ask for
forgiveness from Him. Nevertheless, Allah threatens people who do not

believe in Him, fail to comply with the commands in the Qur'an and think
that no life exists after death.
