It is a trivial enjoyment; then their refuge is hell, and it is an evil resting place.

Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 197
197. "(It is) a brief enjoyment! Thereafter their abode is Hell, and how bad the resting place (it is)! "
Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (as) in a tradition has said: "There is not goodness in a pleasure after which is Fire (of Hell)."4 The fleeting pleasures and eternal torment is for the infidels, while temporary hardships and the eternal peace and comfort belong to the believers.
