Transliteration:( Fa yu'azzibuhul laahul 'azaabal akbar )
25. The eternal punishment of Hell. It should be remembered that there are five types of punishments for the infidels: worldly punishments, the time of death, the grave, the Day of Reckoning, and the punishments of Hell.
Of these the most severe are the punishments of Hell, while the other four are less severe, 3 because the punishment of Hell is permanent. In Hell there will be disgrace as well. Its punishments are of all types concerning eating, drinking, staying, poisonous animals etc. Because of these it has been called a severe punishment.
From this emerge a few issues:
1. The obedience of the Holy Prophet's rejection of obedience is infidelity because the pronoun "who" is unconditional.
2. The minor children of the infidels will not be in Hell, because they did not commit the infidelity of turning their faces.
3. The parents of the Holy Prophet ?are inmates of Paradise because the one who commits infidelity and curses the orthodox caliphs are inmates of Hell. They did not commit these.
4. Infidelity is worse than all other sins for which there will be the greatest punishment.
