Allah has made ready for the unbelievers a painful punishment in the Hereafter which is everlasting. Yet besides this, there are various punishments for unbelievers in this world too. These are a sort of preliminary to the endless punishment that they will receive later. They also come in the nature of a warning from Allah to lead them to regret, to pay heed and to reorient themselves to the right path. Allah announces the punishment He will give in the world and the reason for it as follows:
The most significant reason for the disbelief of unbelievers is their passionate attachment to the life of this world and the fact that they repudiate the truth. The punishment that Allah has made ready for the unbelievers in this world deprives them of all worldly blessings. Some of these punishments mentioned in the Qur’an are as follows:
-On a nation of unbelievers animals such as locusts, lice and frogs are sent down. (Surat al-A’raf, 133)
-Unbelievers are seized with drought and scarcity of fruits, with trouble in economics. (Surat al-A’raf, 130, Surat an-Nahl, 112)
-Unbelievers are made the most miserable. (Surat al-A’la, 11-12)
-They live filled with false hopes. (Surat an-Nisa, 120)
-Allah makes their breast narrow and constricted; He defiles them. (Surat al-An’am, 125)
What end awaits unbelievers in this world?
