HORRORS and PUNISHMENTS in HELL for the UNBELIEVERS

In my recent column, I have written about the significant rewards Muslim believers would receive in the Paradise and in this writing I continue to elaborate some of the worse punishments and pains the unbelievers would get when they are dragged into the Hell in the Hereafter. This is clearly reflected in numerous verses of Al-Qur'an especially in verse 192 surah Al-Imran, verse 6 surah At-Tahrim and verse 24 in surah Al-Baqarah which are listed below:

Surah Al-Imran verse 192: (The Family of Imran)

"Our Lord! Verily, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed, You have disgraced him, and never will the Zalimun [polytheists and wrond-doers] find any helpers."

Surah At-Tahrim verse 6: (The Prohibition)

"O, you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire [Hell] whose fuel is men and stones over which are [appointed] angels stern [and] severe, who disobey not, [from executing] the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded."

Surah Al-Baqarah verse 24: (The Cow)

"But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the the Fire [Hell] whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers."

From the aforementioned chosen verses in surah Al-Imran, At-Tahrim and Al-Baqarah, we were ask to understand that the Hell is a real place prepared by Allah SWT for those who does not believe in Him, rebel against His Laws and reject His Messengers. Hell is an actual place it being an anguish pains, horrors and various punishments prepared for the unbelievers but at different nature of punishments of one's sins and evil deeds.

Hell similar to Paradise presently exist and external. Hell is actually exist at the present time and will continue to exist for ever. It will never die down and its inhabitants will remain it it for ever. No one will come out of Hell except sinful believers in the Oneness of Allah SWT in his life and believe in specified Prophets sent to them before coming of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. The polytheist and the unbelievers will reside in it for ever. The Al-Qur'an dully stated that Hell have been created before mankind lived in this earth.

Further, if we were to refer to some various verses in the Al-Qur'an stated that the Hell Fire has each names were given a separate description as mentioned below:

1) Jaheem - Fire - because of blazing fire

2) Jahanam - Hell - because of the dept of its pit

3) Ladthaa - Blazing Fire - because of its flames

4) Sa'eer - Blazing Flames - because of its kindle and ignited

5) Saqar - Because of its intensity of its heatt

6) Hatanah - Broken pieces and debris - because it breaks and crush everything that it thrown into it.

7) Hawiyah - Chasm as abyss - because the one who is thrown into it, is thrown from top to bottom.

As to go further, Hell has various worst of punishment, each is reserved according to the extent of one disbelief and sins of those being punished. In verse 145 surah An-Nisa, Allah SWT says: "Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest dept [grade] of the Fire." In another verses 6 and 24 of surah At-Tahrim and Al-Baqarah prescribed to advise the believers to protect the families from the Fire whose fuel is the people themselves and stones prepared for the disbelievers in the Hell.

Finally, Hell is actually has no exact place and no one know the place except Allah SWT. Some scholars believed and stated that the Hell is near the Heaven yet some say it is in the lowest earth. With all the findings and opinion, we should have the conscience and believe that Hell is large and immensely deep and innumerable people especially disbelievers will definitely enter the Hell in the Hereafter.

Allah is All-Seers of what we do.
