Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says (Translation): And think not that Allah is unaware of what the wicked do. He is only giving them a respite till a day, when eyes will stare (in terror), As they come hurrying on in fear, their heads upraised, their gaze not returning (back) to them, and their hearts empty (of any hope of betterment because of the circumstances of extreme fear on the day of judgement). (Ibrahim 14: 42-43)
