They will wish to escape from the Fire, but they will never be able to get out of it [71], and for them there will be a lasting punishment.

[71] This matter will be with the disbelievers, but many sinful Muslims will also enter Hell, who, after suffering the punishment for their sins and being purified from them, will enter Paradise at different times. In fact, some scholars believe that even the disbelievers will eventually be freed from Hell. Only the polytheists are those who will never attain deliverance from Hell.
