Thank  You.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Given below is a translation of an excerpt from Ghamidi\u2019s book <em>Mizan<\/em> from the chapter &#8220;<em>Imaniyat<\/em>&#8220;. Hopefully it will answer your question:<\/p>\n<div>At  various places, in the Qur\u2019an, it has been mentioned that people who  deliberately associate partners with God and profess disbelief in Him  shall be punished eternally. Similar will be the punishment of a Muslim  who kills another Muslim deliberately. People who disobey the laws of  inheritance are also promised this doom. This fate will also await those  who have committed some similar crimes. No doubt, there will be people  who will be taken out of Hell once they complete their term of  punishment; however, it is evident from the Qur\u2019an that in order to  punish the previously mentioned criminals, Hell will always be kept  intact. In spite of this, it can be expected that one day, Hell too  shall cease to exist. The reason for this is that its torment is a  threat from the Almighty and not a promise and the Almighty certainly  has the right to reduce the punishment of these sinners or turn them  into dust and ashes and eternally bury them in Hell: <\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"q_ar\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u0641\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0645\u0651\u064e\u0627  \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0634\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0627\u0652 \u0641\u064e\u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650 \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0632\u064e\u0641\u0650\u064a\u0631\u064c   \u0648\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0647\u0650\u064a\u0642\u064c \u062e\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u062f\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u062f\u064e\u0627\u0645\u064e\u062a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0648\u064e\u0627\u062a\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u064f \u0625\u0650\u0644\u0627\u0651\u064e   \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0634\u064e\u0627\u0621 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064f\u0643\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0641\u064e\u0639\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064c \u0644\u0651\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u0631\u0650\u064a\u062f\u064f (11: 106-107)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Then  the damned shall be cast into the Fire; here they will groan and  scream  like donkeys and shall abide in it as long as the heavens and  the earth  [of that world] exist unless your Lord ordains otherwise.
