Araf 50-51

50- AND THE PEOPLE OF THE FIRE CALLED THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE SAYING: “GIVE US SOME OF YOUR WATER OR OF WHAT ALLAH PROVIDED FOR YOU”, THEY SAID: “ALLAH HAS FORBIDDEN THE DISBELIEVERS HAVING IT”.

51- THOSE WHOM TAKE THEIR RELIGION AS A SUBJECT OF MOCKERY AND JESTING, AND WERE ALLURED BY THE LOWER LIFE, TODAY WE IGNORE THEM AS THEY FORGOT THE MEETING OF THIS DAY, AND AS THEY REJECTED OUR AYAHS.

Those in the Hell-Fire will begin to suffer, their water is tastes badly and is hot, and their food is bitter.  They see the great difference between what they have and what those in Paradise have, and they ask those in Paradise to give them some of what they have, just water and some good tasting food.  However, these provisions are not for those in Paradise to dispose of, and they know that they are only for the people of Paradise, but forbidden for the disbelievers to have.

Religion is a way of life and way of relating to and worshipping our creator.  Therefore, it is not a subject for mockery, jesting or play.  We might get busy with life, work, earning money, and with our families and children to forget about the Hereafter, Judgement day and the everlasting life to follow.  We occupy ourselves with the needs for our short and temporary existence on Earth, to prepare for our eternal life afterwards; this is a great waste of our life on Earth. 

In the Hereafter, Allah the Highest does not give the disbelievers the smallest share of the good things provided in Paradise, yet Allah the Highest let them see what those in Paradise enjoy, this is in order to make those in the Hell-Fire feel sadder for what they missed. 

The disbelievers will not have a share of the good things in Paradise which they denied it exists in the first place, and will have no Mercy from the God they rejected.  They will however taste Allah’s Anger and Punishment and no one will be ever able to protect them or save them from such punishment.
