What is the torment of the disbeliever in this world?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Do you mean the torment in the Hereafter?

Answer : In the Hereafter or in this world? In the Hereafter, there is no doubt, because He said they will enter it on the Day of Judgment. But even in this world, you will not find a disbeliever, even if his body is comfortable, whose heart is ever at ease. He is in torment. When he thinks, if he thinks about death, his chest constricts and the entire world constricts upon him. If he is struck by illness, that is the end. His heart is scorched by fire. Also, when a disbeliever sees that someone else is ahead of him in wealth, power, or children, he dies of regret, because he is envious. Therefore, we say that the wicked are in torment in this world and in the Hereafter.
