People who committed sins and entered to hell, will be in hellfire forever?
Answer is yes! Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned 3 places in Quran that people who committed sins and entered to Jahannnam will be there forever.
In Sura Nisa (168 & 169) Those who reject Faith and do wrong, Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to any way. Except the way of Hell, to dwell therein forever, and this is ever easy for Allah.
In Sura Azab (64 & 65)Verily, Allah has cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a flaming Fire (Hell). Wherein they will abide for ever, and they will find neither a Wali (a protector) nor a helper.
In Sura Jinn (23) and whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever.”
So in three places Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned that people will be in hellfire forever whoever enterd to hell. Some do interpret it as the words 'dwell therein forever' means for as long as it exists. This is not correct. They will dwell therein forever means the hell must last forever as they will be in it. the verses are very much clear. If a person is dwell in some place forever that they will be last there forever as well. So proper knowledge of Quran and Sunnah is very important.
