إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ ۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ ۗ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
Illaa mar rahima Rabbuk; wa lizaalika khalaqahum; wa tammat Kalimatu Rabbika la amla'ana Jahannama minal jinnati wannnaasi ajma'een

And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled namely ‘I will surely fill Hell with jinn and mankind together’.

Lord! What is wrong with me that only the poor and humble people enter me ?' Hell (Fire) said, I have
been favored with the arrogant people.' So Allah said to Paradise, 'You are My Mercy,' and said to
Hell, 'You are My Punishment which I inflict upon whom I wish, and I shall fill both of you.'" The
Prophet added, "As for Paradise, (it will be filled with good people) because Allah does not wrong any
of His created things, and He creates for Hell (Fire) whomever He will, and they will be thrown into
it, and it will say thrice, 'Is there any more, till Allah (will put) His Foot over it and it will become full
