Punishment
In HellFire (JAHANNAM)
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
1.
Hell is so deep that if a stone were to be thrown into, it would travel for 70
years to reaching at the bottom.
2.
The breadth of each of the four walls around Hell is equivalent to a distance
covered by a walking journey of 40 years.
3.
Hell has 7 gates.
4.
Hell had been lit for one thousand years until its flames became red. Again it
was heated for another thousand years till its colour became white. Still again
it was burnt for further thousand years and its white color flames turned pitch
black.
5.
Even the fiercest fire of this world is 70 fold cooler than the fire of Hell.
6.
The lightest punishment in Hell would be the wearing of "Fiery shoes"
which would cause one's brain to boil.
7.
Hell in infested with venomous donkeys and if they were to bite a person then
he or she will suffer pain for 40 years.
8.
For food, the dweller of Hell would be given Zaqqum which is a prickly tree, so
bitter, that even if a single molecule of it were to spill onto this earth it
would make all the foodstuff of the world bitter and unpalatable.
9.
For drinking, the denizen of Hell would be provided with hot, boiling pus mixed
with blood, matter, urine and tears etc. of the dwellers of Hell. If a bucket
of this foul liquid were to be splashed over this earth, the entire world would
be upset and disrupted by its most foul stink.
10.
Boiling water would be poured over Jahannami's head and this will cause their
internal organs to melt and leak out through their feet.
11.
The inmates of Hell would be lashed with heavy clubs of iron. If one such club
was to be placed upon this earth, the combined strength of all the human
beings, as well as all the Jinns, would fail to lift it; and if a mountain is
struck with one of these clubs it would cause the whole mountain to disintegrate.
12.
The dwellers of Hell would be burnt daily for 70 thousand times.. Every time,
after the skin and flesh is burnt; they would be restored to life so that they
can continuously taste this punishment.
13.
A drunkard will be given blood, pus, sweat, filth, etc.. to drink in hell.
14.
All the haughty people will be gathered in the Hereafter and driven towards
Hell but their bodies would be reduced to the size of ants and they will be
given to consume the excretions of the dwellers of Hell.
15.
Some sinners would be made to climb (SAUD) which is a mountain of fire in Hell,
and then dropped from its peak and this process would continue forever and
ever.
16.
The dwellers of Hell would be pound in chains which would be greater in length
than the distance between the sky and the earth.
17.
The clothes of sinners in Hell would be highly inflammable.
18.
Beside physical torture, the dwellers of Hell would also be subjected to mental
harassment through the taunting by the guardian of Hell who will remind them of
their misdeed on earth and remarks "Now taste the fire" etc.
19.
The sinners and disbelievers would be humiliated to such an extent that besides
their revolting ugliness and pitch black faces, their upper lips would be
touching their foreheads and the lower lip dangling around the navel.
20.
The dwellers of Hell would weep so much and shed so much of tears and blood
that furrows would be formed on their cheeks.
21.
The tongues of Hell-inmates would be so long and protruding from there mouths
that others would trample and step on them.
22.
Shayateen will also rebuke the denizens of Hell.
23.
The dwellers of Hell would display their rage and fury on those who led them
astray.
24.
The inhabitants of Hell would appeal to the guardians of Jahannam to intercede
on their behalf in the court of Allah but their pleas would reject. They would
make direct supplication to Allah but their prayers would not be granted.
25.
They will then abide forever in Hell, continuously lamenting and braying like
asses (jungle animals).

The
Creation of Hell-Fire

"Fear
the fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers."
[Ali'-Imran, 3: 131]
"Truly
Hell is lying in wait- a destination for the transgressors."
[an-Naba, 78: 21-22]
Abdullah
bin Umar (radiAllahu anhu) narrated: “Allah Messenger (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said,
‘When someone dies, he is shown his destination morning and evening and if he
belongs to the people of Paradise, (he will be shown his place) among the
people of Paradise, and if he is from the people of Hell, (he will be shown his
place) among the people of Hell.’”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
Abu
Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said:
“There was a dispute between Hell and Paradise during which Hell said, ‘The haughty
and the proud will find abode in me.’ And Paradise said, ‘The meek and the
humble will find their abode in me.’ Thereupon, Allah, the Exalted and
Glorious, (addressing Hell) said, ‘You are the means of My punishment by which
I punish those of My servants whom I wish.’ (and addressing Paradise), He said,
‘You are My mercy by means of which I will show mercy to those whom I wish. And
each one of you will be full.’”

“The unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowds until, when they
arrive there, its gates will be opened..”
[az-Zumar, 39: 71]
“And
verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all. It has seven gates: to each of
those gates is a specific class of sinners assigned.”
[al Hijr, 15: 43-44]
“To
them will be said, ‘Enter you the gates of Hell to dwell therein. And how evil
is this abode of the arrogant.’”
[az Zumar, 39: 72]
“But
those who reject Our signs are the companions of the left hand – on them will
be fire vaulted over.”
[al Balad, 90: 19-20]
“It
is the fire of Allah, kindled to a blaze, which mounts right to the hearts. It
will be a vault over them in outstretched columns.”
[al Humazah, 104: 6-9]
Abu
Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said:
‘When the month of Ramadan begins and the gates of Heaven are opened, the gates
of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.”

“To all are degrees or ranks according to their deeds.”
[an-An'am, 6: 132]
“Is
the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah like the one who draws upon
himself the wrath of Allah and whose abode is in Hell – an evil refuge? They
are varying grades in the sight of Allah, and Allah sees well all that they
do.”
[ali'-Imran, 3: 162-163]
“Indeed
the hypocrites are in the lowest depths of the Fire; you will find no helper
for them.”

Capacity and Depth of Hell
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
On the Day of Judgment the inhabitants of Hell will see their
destined abode face to face and will realize the error of their ways. But,
ofcourse, it will be too late. The Qur’an states: “No! When the earth is
pounded to powder, and your Lord comes with His angels, rank upon rank, and
Hell, that Day, is brought [face to face] – on that Day will man remember? But
how will that remembrance profit him?”
[al Fajr, 89: 21-23]
“On
the Day We will say to Hellfire, ‘have you been filled?’ it will say, ‘Are
there some more?’”
[Qaf, 50: 30]
Ibn
Mas'ud (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said:
“Hell will be brought on that Day. IT will have seventy thousand reins with
seventy thousand angels drawing it by each rein.”
[Muslim]
Abu
Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)
said:
“And his (the disbeliever’s) seat in Hellfire is as much as (the .distance)
between Makkah and Madinah.”
[at-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim]
Abu
Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported: “While we were in the company of Allah’s
Messenger (SAW), we heard a terrible sound. Thereupon, Allah’s Messenger
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Do you know what that sound is?’ When we
answered, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said. “That is a stone which
was thrown into Hell seventy years ago and has been constantly falling until
now when it finally reached the bottom.’”
[Muslim]
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
The Fuel of Hell-Fire
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
People:
“Those who has disbelieved – their wealth and their children will never benefit
them anything with Allah. And those are the ones who are the fuel of Hellfire.”
[ali'-Imran, 3: 10]
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
Jinn:
“And there are among us Muslims (in submission to Allah) and others who deviate
from justice. And whoever accepts Islam has sought out the rightpath. As for
those who deviate, they will be firewood for the Hellfire.”
[al-Jinn, 72: 14-15]
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
Stones:
“But if you cannot – and of a surety you cannot – then fear the fire whose fuel
is men and stones, which is prepared for those who reject faith.”
[al Baqarah, 2: 24]
“O
you who believe, save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is
men and stones, over which are appointed angels, stern and severe, who do not
disobey Allah in what He orders them and who do precisely what they are
commanded.”
[at-Tahreem, 66: 6]
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
False Gods
“Verily, you (unbelievers) and what you worship besides Allah are fuel for
Hellfire, You will surely come to it. If those had (truly) been gods, they
would not have come to it. But all will abide therein eternally.”
[al-Anbiya, 21: 98-99]
“And
the Fierce Fire will be brought out before those straying in evil, and it will
be said to them, ‘Where are those you worshipped besides Allah? Can they help
you or help themselves?’ Then they will be thrown into it (the Hellfire) on
their faces – they and those straying in evil and the soldiers of Iblees, all
together.”
[ash Shu'ara, 26: 91-95]
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
The Intensity of its Fire
•—★—••——••—★—••——••—★—•
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated: “When Allah’s Messenger
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
‘Your ordinary fire is one of the 70 potions of the Hellfire,’ someone
commented, ‘O Messenger of Allah, would it (ordinary fire) not be sufficient
(to burn the wrongdoers)?’ At that, Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, ‘The Hellfire
has 69 more portions than ordinary (worldly) fire, and all of them are as hot
as this (worldly fire).’”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
“Verily,
Allah has cursed the disbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire.
Dwelling therein forever, and they will find no protector or helper.”
[al-Ahzab, 33: 64-65]
“But
he who is given his record behind his back will soon cry for destruction, and
he will enter a blazing Fire.”
[al Inshiqaq, 84: 10-12]
“No,
they deny the Hour (of the judgment to come), but We have prepared a blazing
fire for such as deny the Hour. When it sees them from a far off place, they
will hear its fury and its raging sigh. And when they are cast, bound, in
chains, into constricted place therein, they will plead therein for
destruction. Do not plead today for a single destruction; plead for destruction
oft-repeated.”
[al-Furqan, 25: 11-14]
“The
companions of the left hand – what are the companions of the left hand? (They
will be) in the midst of a fierce blast (of fire) and in boiling water.”
[al Waqi'ah, 56: 41-42]
“But,
he whose scales are light his home will be a pit. And what will make you
understand what that is? (It is ) a fire, blazing fiercely.”
[al Qari’ah, 101: 8-11]
“Soon
will I cast him into Saqar (the Hellfire). And what will explain to you what
Saqar is? It permits nothing to endure, and it leaves nothing alone, darkening
and changing the color of man.”
[al-Muddaththir, 74: 26-29]
“Their
abode will be Hell. Every time it abates. We will increase for them the blaze
(the fierceness) of the fire.”
[al Isra, 17: 97]
“Those
are the ones, who have exchanged the Hereafter for the gains of this worldly
life. The punishment will not be lightened for them, and they will not be
aided.”
[al-Baqarah, 2: 86]
“So
taste, (the result of your deeds), for We will not increase you except in
punishment.”
[an Naba, 78: 30]
Anas
(radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said:
“The most favored man among the dwellers of the Earth will be brought from
among the people of the Fire on the Day of Resurrection. He will be dyed in the
Fire but once, and then it will be said to him, ‘O son of Adam, have you ever
seen good at all? Has any pleasure ever come to you?’ He will say, ‘No, by
Allah, O Lord.’ Then the most miserable people in the world will be brought
from the people of Paradise and will be dyed with the dye of Paradise. It will
be said to him,‘O son of Adam, have you ever seen any misery, and has any
hardship ever come to you? ‘ He will say, ‘No, by Allah, O my Lord. No misery
ever came to me, nor did I see any hardship.’”

[al-Waqi’ah, 56: 41-44]
“And

“O you who believe, save yourselves and your families from a
fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels, stern and
severe, and who do not disobey Allah in what He orders them and who do
precisely what they are commanded.”
[at-Tahreem, 66: 6]
“Over it are nineteen. And We have not made the guardians of the
Fire except angels. And We have made their number only as a trial for the
unbelievers – in order that the People of the Book may be certain and that the
believers may increase in faith, and so that the People of the Book and the
believers would not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the
unbelievers would say, ‘What example does Allah intend by this?’ Thus does Allah
leave to stray whom he pleases and guides whom He pleases. And none can know
the soldiers of your Lord except He. And this is nothing other than a warning

Allah will say [to Adam], “Bring forth from your descendants the delegations of

after having accepted it. IF We pardon some of you, We will punish others
because they were criminals. The hypocrites – men and women are of one another.
They enjoin evil and forbid what is just and close their hands [in stinginess].
They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. Verily, the hypocrites are
rebellious and perverse. Allah has promised the hypocrites men and women and

sufficient for them. And Allah will curse them, and they will have an enduring
punishment.”

It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said:
“Paradise and Hell fell into a dispute for, accommodating the haughty and
proud, and Paradise said, ‘What is the matter with me that only the meek and
the humble and the down trodden and simple will find abode in me?’ Thereupon,
Allah said to Paradise, ‘You are a means of My mercy. I will show mercy through
you to whom I will from among My servants.’ Then He said to Hell, ‘You are a
sign of My chastisement, and I will chastise through you whom I will from among
My servants. Both of you will be full.’ And as regards to Hell, it will not be
full until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, places His foot over it. Then Hell
will say, ‘Enough, enough, enough!’ at which point it will be full and will be
compressed. Allah will not treat unjustly anyone among His creation. As for
Paradise, He will create another creation to fill it.”
[Muslim]
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of
Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“There are two types of inhabitants of Hell whom I have not seen in my
lifetime: People who have whips like the tails of oxen with them and will be
beating people, and women who will be dressed yet undressed, who will be
inclined to evil and will make others incline towards it. Their heads will
appear like the humps of Persian camels inclined to one side. They will not
enter Paradise, nor will they even smell its odour, although will be smelled
from long distances away.”
[Muslim]
(When the Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) saw Hell,
many different kinds of people were there; however, there were two types whom
he did not recognize because they did not exist at the time when he was alive,
(seventh century). These two types of people are the following:
1) those carrying whips who were beating others (oppressors)
2) women wearing revealing outfits much like the fashionable clothing of today.
These women have unusual hairstyles, perhaps like the ones worn by modern-day
women. Through this hadith the Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)
predicted the nature of women’s clothing in the future- he foretold that
clothing considered fashionable would reveal much of the body – and he also
predicted the nature of the hairstyles and wigs of modern times worn by those
women who will be among the inhabitants of Hell).

“Is that (Paradise) the better hospitality or the tree of
Zaqqum? For We have truly made it as a torment for the wrongdoers. For it is a
tree that springs out of the bottoms of Hellfire; the shoots of its
fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils. Truly they will eat from it and fill
their bellies with it. Then on top of that they will be given a mixture of
boiling water.”

“Then will you truly –O you who have gone astray an denied – you

Abu Sa’eed (radiAllahu anhu) reported: “Allah Messenger (salAllahu
alayhi wasalam) said,
‘Death will be brought on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a
white-colored ram. [Abu Kurayb added: “Then it will be made to stand between
Paradise and Hell.”] It will be said to the inhabitants of Paradise, ‘Do you
recognize this?” They will stretch forth their necks and look towards it,
saying, ‘Yes, it is death.” Then it will be said to the inhabitants of the
Hellfire, ‘Do you recognize this?” And they will stretch forth their necks,
look, and say, ‘Yes it is death.”Then the command will be given for
slaughtering the ram, and it will be said, ‘O inhabitants of Paradise, [there
is now] eternity and no death.” And then it will be said to the inhabitants of
Hellfire, “O inhabitants of Hell, [there is now] eternity and no
death.”’Allah’s Messenger (SAW) then recited the following verse, pointing with
his hand to this material world: ‘But warn them of the Day of Regret, when the
matter will be determined; yet, they are unmindful, and they do not believe.’”
[Muslim, Maryam, 19: 39]
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) related that the Prophet
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“None will enter Paradise except that he will be shown the place that he would
have occupied in Hellfire if he had been evil – so that he will be more
thankful; each one of those who enter Hellfire will be shown the place that he
would have occupied in Paradise if he had been good – so that he will increase
in regret.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
We hear and we obey. Forgive us, our Lord!
To You is the journey's end.

Allahuma Ajirni minan naar
"O Allah, save me from the fire (Jahannam)."
If a person recites the above دعاء and dies the same
night, he will be saved from Jahannam and if he recites it seven times after
Fajr Salaat before speaking to anyone and if he dies on that same day, he will
be saved from Jahannam.
(Mishkat from Abu Dawood)
