Commentary 2:39 The consequences of not following the guidance sent by Allâh shall be suffering in this world and in the Hereafter. There is considerable misunderstanding…

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ

2:39 The consequences of not following the guidance sent by Allâh shall be suffering in this world and in the Hereafter. There is considerable misunderstanding about the duration of these sufferings, and whether they shall only take place in Hell. Khâlidûn خالدون is derived from khalada meaning to remain a long time, or to live for a long time (Lane; Tâj). It can also mean to live without change or deterioration (Lisân). It does not necessarily convey the idea of perpetuity or eternity. The Qur’ânic concept of Hell does not teach that the stay in Hell is endless. This would violate Allâh’s Attribute of Mercy (-Rahmânîyyat and Mâlikîyyat).
