The Holy Quran 5:37 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَخْرُجُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَمَا هُم بِخَـٰرِجِينَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ

Translation

They will try (long) to escape from the Fire (of Jahannam) but they will not be able to escape. They will have a permanent punishment.
