Az-Zukhruf (Ornaments of gold)

77. And they will cry: “O Keeper [of Hell]! Let your Lord make an end of us.” He will say: “Indeed you shall abide forever [and there shall be no death].”

The inhabitants of Hell ask for assistance from anyone.

At times, they ask help from believers:

“Look at us so that we may use your light?”

and at times they extend their hands toward tyrant chiefs:

“Would you deliver us from Divine Wrath?”

They sometimes beseech the keepers of Hell to render them aid. They ask them to make an end of them, but it will be of no avail.

The blessed Verse in question says that the people of Hell seek refuge with the keeper of Hell out of the severity of torment and ask them in supplication:

“’O Keeper [of Hell]! Let your Lord make an end of us.’ He will say: ‘Indeed you shall abide forever.’”
