Sura 32
Aya 20
20
وَأَمَّا الَّذينَ فَسَقوا فَمَأواهُمُ النّارُ ۖ كُلَّما أَرادوا أَن يَخرُجوا مِنها أُعيدوا فيها وَقيلَ لَهُم ذوقوا عَذابَ النّارِ الَّذي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبونَ

Yusuf Ali

As to those who are rebellious and wicked, their abode will be the Fire: every time1 they wish to get away therefrom, they will be forced thereinto, and it will be said to them: “Taste ye the Penalty of the Fire, the which ye were wont to reject as false.”
  • Cf. 22:22. Just as the Garden is a type of Bliss, so is the Fire a type of Penalty and suffering. There will be no getting away from it. What will be the thoughts of those who had earned it? “We used to reject the idea of the Consequences as mere chimera: and now we find it to be true!” What will be their feelings then? How will they like it!
