Commentary
And when the punishment is, as we know, surely going to end, while His punishment is otherwise, He said: "And they are not absent from it," meaning that they are not truly absent from the Hellfire at any time. Rather, they are in it, remaining forever as a recompense for their deeds, justly and fairly, even now in the abode of this world, although they do not feel it except after death, for people are asleep. When they die, they awaken.
