Abstract
Belief in the immortality of the people of Hell is an issue that has been raised by philosophers, theologians, and thinkers, as well as the holy sharia. The immortality of the people of Hell means that they will live forever in Hell and the hereafter; it indicates that some of them will be in Hell forever and will be deprived of the blessings of God and will be in constant torment. The question of this research is: What is the meaning of immortality of the people of Hell from the perspective of the verses of the Holy Quran? And what is the interpretation of Sadr al-Din Shirazi on the verses related to this subject? Regarding immortality and permanence in torment, some objections have been raised, including the opposition of immortality and permanence in torment to the vast divine mercy, God' justice and divine nature. Using a descriptive-analytical method and based on inferential reasoning, this research examines the immortality of the people of Hell in fire from the perspective of verses and hadiths and while clearing up this theory, explains Molla Sadra's theory and revises it.
