In contrast, the disbeliever remains free in every way, indulging in the pleasures of desires and passions, so that the world is as if it is paradise for him, whereas for the believer it is a prison.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Just as a prisoner in jail is bound by many rules and cannot do anything without permission, similarly, a believer does not act according to his own desires in this world. Rather, at every step, he acts upon the commands of Allah. In return for this, he will be granted Paradise.
➋ A disbeliever lives a life of freedom in this world, that is, a life without restrictions. As a result, he is destined to receive the punishment of Hell. In comparison to the torments of Hell, even the harshest life in this world is equal to Paradise.
