No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
You will surely see the Hellfire.

You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.

Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
