سُوْرَةُ فَاطِرٍ
Surah Faatir (35) — Ayah 36
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يُقْضَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا۟ وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُم مِّنْ عَذَابِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى كُلَّ كَفُورٍ ﴿36﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism), for them will be the Fire of Hell. Neither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever!

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
36. But those who disbelieve will have the Fire of Hell. Neither will they be finished off so that they die [40], nor will its punishment be lightened for them. This is how We reward every ungrateful one.

Death Being Slaughtered in the Form of a Ram:
It is mentioned in authentic ahadith that when the judgment between the believers and the disobedient has been completed in the Plain of Resurrection, a ram will be brought before everyone and slaughtered, and the people will be asked, "Do you know what this ram is?" All will say, "Yes, we know, this is death." Then an angel will address the people of Paradise and say, "Now you will remain in Paradise forever and death will never come to you." Then the same angel will address the people of Hell and say, "Now you will remain in Hell forever and death will never come to you." [مسلم کتاب الجنۃ وصفۃ نعیمھا واھلھا۔ باب جہنم]
This will be one punishment for the disbelievers and those who were ungrateful to Allah. The second punishment will be that there will never be any pause in their torment, nor will there be any reduction in the intensity of the punishment. Rather, instead of this, their torment will continue to increase moment by moment.
