Abstract :
The afterlife and its nature are among the most challenging issues in the realm of religion. One of the most important problems in relation to resurrection and divine penalty is the eternity of punishment, and different philosophers have tried to explain it in line with their own philosophical foundations. Some believe that immortality in hell is not equal to immortality in punishment, for the immortals in hell, after a period of suffering, grow accustomed to it and, thus, punishment transforms to pleasure for them. In contrast, some others believe that punishment will never turn into pleasant for the immortals in hell. Following a descriptive analytical method, this paper explains the views of ‘Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī and Āyatullāh Javādī Āmolī and investigates and critiques the misgivings regarding this issue based on the opinions of these two thinkers. It demonstrates that the eternity of punishment is certain, and disbelievers, hypocrites, and hostile polytheists will remain in torment forever. The eternity of punishment is consistent with divine justice, wisdom, and mercy and the verses of the Holy Qur’ān.
