Question:
The questioner asks: How do we reconcile Allah's saying,[Al-Baqarah 2:86], with His saying, [Al-Isra 17:97]?
Answer:
These two verses have the same meaning: that their punishment will not be lightened; every time it subsides, Allah increases it in blazing fire, so that their punishment is not lightened. There is no contradiction between the two verses; they have the same meaning. We ask Allah for well-being.
