when they think about the Companions of the Garden.
Allah defines this torment in hell and the regret they feel
as "suffering" and states that each one of their attempts to
escape from this suffering will result in yet another pun-
ishment:
Every time they want to come out of it, because of their
suffering, they will be driven back into it: "Taste the
punishment of the Burning!" (Surat al-Hajj: 22)
That is because hell is a place of no return. It is the
place, where the feeling of regret brings no benefit to
man. Furthermore in hell, the concept of regret is not
defined. At the moment unbelievers die, angels will tell
them that they will never again experience anything good
for all eternity -- unless Allah wills otherwise:
On the Day they see the angels, there will be no good
news that Day for the evildoers. They will say, "There
is an absolute ban." (Surat al-Furqan: 22)
For this reason, unbelievers find their personal
destruction to be the only way of salvation. They will beg
for their destruction, but to no avail. This is because they
were granted a lifetime, which was long enough to
receive admonition, but they willfully favored denial and
turned away from the truth. In return for these, Allah will
tell them the following:
Do not cry out today for just one destruction, cry out for
many destructions! (Surat al-Furqan: 14)
