4️⃣ The denizens of the Hellfire beseeching for a second chance:
Allaah تعالى mentioned, saying:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ ﴿١٠٧﴾ قَالَ اخْسَئُوا فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ ﴿١٠٨﴾

📚 [Surah al-Mu’minoon (23): 107-108]

They will then call Maalik, the keeper of Hell-Fire, asking him to beseech Allaah to put an end to them (i.e. death). He will abandon them for a thousand years, and then he will respond, saying: “you will abide (therein) forever!” Then they will ask the (other) keepers of the Hell-Fire to beseech Allaah to lighten their punishment for at least one day.
