And His statement: (نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلا); he says: We grant them in this worldly life a brief respite, in which they enjoy themselves. (ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ); he says: then We drive them, against their will, to a severe punishment, and that is the punishment of the Fire — we seek refuge in Allah from it, and from every deed that brings one near to it.
