“When Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter recoil.”

He also states that the messengers warned all those destined for misery about the Last Day. He Most High says:

“Whenever a group is cast into it, its keepers will ask them, ‘Did no warner come to you?’ They will say, ‘Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied him and said, “Allah has revealed nothing; you are only in great error.”’”

“Those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups until, when they reach it, its gates will be opened”—to the end of the verse.

Thus He states that the message reached the people of the Fire and that they were warned about the Last Day. He Most High also says:

“On the Day He gathers them all together, He will say, ‘O company of jinn, you have led many humans astray.’ Their allies among humans will say, ‘Our Lord, we benefited from one another, and we have reached the term You appointed for us.’ He will say, ‘The Fire is your dwelling, where you will remain forever, except as Allah wills.
