1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

So if a disbeliever brought the earth's fill of gold,
and twice as much as that amount on the Day of
Judgment to ransom himself from Allah's torment
that has surrounded him, and he is certain that
he will suffer from it, it will not be accepted of
him. Rather, there is no escaping the torment,
and he will not be able to evade or save himself
from it.
Hence Allah's statement,
torment), (And theirs would be a painful وَلَهُمْ‏ عَذَابٌ‏ أَلِيمٌ‏

یُرِیدُونَ‏ أَن یَخْرُجُواْ‏ مِنَ‏ الن َّارِ‏ وَمَا هُم بِخَارِجِينَ‏ مِنْهَا وَلَهُمْ‏ عَذَابٌ‏ م ُّقِيمٌ‏
﴾ ٣٧﴿
They will long to get out of the Fire, but never will they
get out therefrom, and theirs will be a lasting torment.
In another Ayah, Allah said,
آُل َّمَا أَرَادُوا أَن یَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا مِنْ‏ غَم ٍّ أُعِيدُوا فِيهَا
Every time they seek to get away therefrom, in
anguish, they will be driven back therein. (22:22)
Therefore, they will still long to leave the torment
because of the severity and the pain it causes.
They will have no way of escaping it. The more
the flames lift them to the upper part of Hell, the
more the angels of punishment will strike them
with iron bars and they will fall down to its
depths,
And theirs will be a lasting torment.

وَلَهُمْ‏ عَذَابٌ‏ م ُّقِيمٌ‏
meaning, eternal and everlasting, and they will
never be able to depart from it or avoid it.
Anas bin Malik said that the Messenger of Allah said,
