I don't know, only Allah is the judge. We'll know when the time comes.Would the most evil person judged by allah go to hell forever. Like I said, the punishment specifically in this case is so very long long that the short pain dealings is practically non-existent.
But one thing comes to mind, our perception is relative, if humans were living for 500 years then lifetime prisonment would have been relative to that. People in paradise will be there eternally too.
As for lifetime hell only 2 people are mentioned in Quran by name: (1) Pharaoh, and (2) Abu Lahab. Both were show clear signs that they had nothing left to deny and they were warned of the conquences but they still did. It is something they choose.
Even in this world consquence of certain things stay whole life, no matter how long it is.
But everything comes with a clause, as long as God wills. They will get out hell sometime I don't know.
One striking imagery a person wrote (but it is not about eternal hell):
Actually, we have a very beautiful portrayal of human psychology, which ultimately leads to the downfall of an individual in a position of power. That power over people as represented by hands will ultimately be destroyed, and in the process, the individual will lose his own self.
That individual was so busy in hoarding wealth, that he would even put on a religious display to extort it from people. Further, men are often motivated by deep companionship to commit evil, and the deepest of Companionship is a wife. That very wife who also indulged in wealth at the expense of human equality. She use to encourage her husband to perform the mentioned deeds, so that they could retain their social status. But the very wealth he earned unlawfully, and she encouraged him to earn, will be the very wealth that will take the form of a necklace that binds her like a slave being bound. The very social class that she sought to maintain, the society of slavery, so that she could be high-up in society. The other irony is that she will be stroking the fire that is burning her husband. She stroked it in this life, and the next life will just be an extension of what she was doing.
I don't how every deeds in the world translates into the next world, I normally pay attention to more practical stuff. But one thing I've learned as an investor is that signs are more important than simple facts.
