The Holy Quran 10:27 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَسَبُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ جَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةٍۭ بِمِثْلِهَا وَتَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۖ مَّا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۖ كَأَنَّمَآ أُغْشِيَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قِطَعًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مُظْلِمًا ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ

Translation

As for those who earn evil acts, the punishment for evil will be the like of it (not more) and their faces will be covered in disgrace. There shall be no protector for them from (the punishment of) Allaah. (Their faces will be so gloomy that) It will be as if their faces are covered by a part of an extremely dark night. These are the inhabitants of the Fire, in which they shall live forever (Jahannam is eternal).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, [the recompense] will not exceed the evil [committed]. Whether to punish less, or to forgive some evil deeds altogether, is within His power. that is, their faces will be so black and dark, as though layers of a dark night had been laid upon them. (اعاذنا اللہ منہا – “May Allah protect us from it!”)
