One of the issues highly focused by the Islamic scholars in terms of the discussion of resurrection, is the issue of divine rewards and punishment. The punishment for some of sins in Islam is the eternal stay and eternity in hell, but whether the eternal life in the fire of hell is about constant punishment or it can be discontinued, is a bone of contention among the scholars. In opposition to the jurists and the versed in the religious law, IbnArabi believes that the torment in hell is not eternal, and it has a particular duration and stated term, and after this time is passed, the inhabitants of hell would enjoy a blessing, different from that of the inhabitants of paradise, as they take to themselves a ‘Narayah’ (of fire) nature and would not suffer torment and pain anymore. The current study is a library-based study with descriptive-analytical method. It is aimed at comparison between the opposing ideas of IbnArabi and AllamehTabataba’I, about the torment in resurrection. While IbnArabi believes that the hell’s inhabitants torment can be discontinued, AllamehTabataba’i is opposed to him, believing that their torment is eternal, and it cannot be discontinued.
