feeling will even more deepen with the distress caused by
the fact that one would be sent to hell, the most horrify-
ing place one could ever see. As stated earlier, every
moment unbelievers experience the suffering, they will
remember that, had they complied with the right way,

none of these would befall them. There is no way to avoid
from this regret.

The Regret Unbelievers will Feel in Hell
Having an experience of the severity of the punish-

ment, unbelievers will be seized by the regret of not hav-
ing faith in Allah while they were still in the world. Yet
this regret will not alter the situation. In the world, they
were offered many opportunities, which they failed to
take. Once they attain comprehension of this fact, they
will lament to everyone and everything which distracted
them from Allah and the hereafter and made them
indulge in worldly affairs.
In the Qur'an, the regret unbelievers feel is full of rage,

as Allah states in the verse below:
They will say on the Day their faces are rolled over in the
Fire, "If only we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the
Messenger!" And they will say, "Our Lord, we obeyed
our masters and great men and they misguided us from
the Way. Our Lord, give them double the punishment
and curse them many times over!" (Surat al-Ahzab: 66-68)
