Transliteration:( Yasta'jiloonaka bil'azaab; wa inna Jahannama la muheetatum bil kaafireen )
"They are asking you to hasten the torment, and indeed, Hell has already encompassed the disbelievers."
The revered Sufi scholars explain that infidelity, enmity, and evil deeds themselves are a kind of worldly Hell that surrounds the negligent and disbelievers even before the Hereafter. Just as faith and righteous actions bring a form of worldly paradise to the believers, disbelief and wickedness bring torment in this life.
While these worldly states reflect the reward or punishment, the ultimate wrath or mercy of Allah Almighty in the Hereafter will be of a different and far greater nature. Thus, the “Hell” mentioned here is not only the future punishment but also an indication of the suffering caused by one’s sins and disbelief in this life itself.
