The argument continues with explaining the punishment of the guilty in this world and in the last.

      In an interrogative manner the unbelievers seek to know if the said judgement is really true? and the prophet's reply is:ِ ``Yes indeed! I swear by my Lord, that, it is true and it will definitely come to pass, and no power can prevent or frustrate it!''

      Then the punishment is so fierce and dreadful that, if a guilty soul could have all that is in the earth to offer for his ransom, he would give it with pleasure. But no ransom of any kind is acceptable from anyone; and the judgement shall be justly passed upon them.

      The penalty in the judgement of God is not a matter of vengeance. It is only a matter of justice, and God will not oppress His servants the least.

      Penitence may generally lead to some amendment and compensation; while in the Dooms Day it is not so. The guilty soul has no chance to compensate for anything. So if the guilties declare or reveal their regret and penitence it only serves to defame and disgrace them. Therefore they conceal their penitence and sorrow, when they saw the punishment, in order to conceal their infamy and disgrace.
