(36, 37) “Indeed, if the disbelievers possessed all that is on earth and as much again with it, to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them, and they will have a painful punishment.”

Allah Almighty informs us of the dreadful condition of those who disbelieve in Him on the Day of Resurrection and their terrible fate. Even if they offered an earthful of gold and as much again to ransom themselves from Allah’s punishment, it would neither be accepted from them nor benefit them, for the opportunity to offer a ransom will have passed.
