Hell
In Islam, Hell is referred to as Jahannam and is described as a place of punishment for those who disobey Allah and commit sins without repentance. It serves as a warning against wrongdoing and emphasizes the serious consequences of immoral actions. The Nobel Qur’an depicts Jahannam vividly, describing its intense fire, various levels, and the suffering endured by its inhabitants.
At the same time, Islam stresses the mercy and forgiveness of Allah. Sincere repentance, seeking forgiveness, and turning back to Allah can lead to salvation and protection from the hellfire. Thus, the concept of Hell reinforces both accountability and the importance of striving for righteousness in this life.
Here are a few verses from The Noble Quran that describe Hell:
“Every time the fire eats away their flesh, We will replace it with new flesh so they can taste the punishment…”
-The Noble Quran Chapter 4 (Surah An-Nisa): Verse 56
“And verify, Hell (Jahannam) is the promised place for them all! Entering into it are seven gates; for each of these gates are assigned class.” – The Noble Quran Chapter 15 (Al-Hijr): Verse 43-44
“Fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones, – which is prepared for those who reject Faith” – The Noble Quran Chapter 2 (Surah Al-Baqarah): Verse 24
“In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water” – The Noble Quran Chapter 14 (Surah Ibrahim): Verse 16
“Verily, the tree of deadly fruit will be the food of the sinful. Like molten lead will it boil in the belly, like the boiling of burning despair” – The Noble Quran Chapter 44 (Ad-Dukhan): Verse 43-46.
