Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low. Save those who believe and do righteous deeds. (95;5-6)
Here Allah says,
كَلَّ إِنَّ كِتَـبَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
وَمَأ أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
Nay! Truly, the Record of the wicked is in Sijjin. And what will make you know what Sijjin is? and it is full of hardship and misery.
Allah says,
وَإَذَا أُلْقُواْ مِنْهَا مَكَاناً ضَيِّقاً مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْاْ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُوراً
And when they shall be thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they will exclaim therein for destruction. (25;13)
Then Allah says,
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
