“The people of the pit were destroyed with fire abounding in fuel, while they sat around it, and were witnessing what they did to the believers. Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses everything. Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning. As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. Stern indeed is your Lord’s punishment.” (Al Qur’ān – 85:4-12)
Believers have been subjected to tyrannies many a time in history. Suhaib Rumi relates from the Holy Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be to him) how a king, having come to know that a boy and later other people had believed in the Unity of God, he was filled with rage. Consequently, he got pits dug out along the roads, got them tilled with fire and ordered all those who refused to renounce the new faith to be thrown into the fire.
The people who feel displeased at one’s believing in Allah are wicked and unjust. They subject the believers to tyrannies of sort as they have no grudge except that the latter believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy. In the Day of Judgement they will be subjected to utmost humiliation in the form of the chastisement of Hell.
