102 THOSE WHO EXHAUST ALL THEIR PLEASURES IN THIS LIFE

Those who wanted to live on Earth for ever will
want to die there

When they are flung into a narrow place in it, shackled
together in chains, they will cry out there for destruc-
tion. (Surat al-Furqan: 13)

They will have lost all hope

It will not be eased for them. They will be crushed
there by despair. (Surat az-Zukhruf: 75)
On the Day the Hour arrives, the evildoers will despair.
(Surat ar-Rum: 12)

Instead of living in contentment and security,
they will live in adversity and conflict

All this is certainly true – the bickering of the people of
the Fire. (Surah Sad: 64)

Arguing in it with one another, they will say: “By Allah,
we were plainly misguided.” (Surat ash-Shu‘ara’: 96-
97)

He will say: “Do not argue in My presence, when I gave
you advance warning of the Threat.” (Surah Qaf: 28)

They will be unhappy forever

. . . [A fire] in which only the most wretched will roast.
(Surat al-Layl: 15)
