DWELLINGS IN HELL

The Most Evil Place to Stay

When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by pride which drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an evil resting-place! (Surat al-Baqara, 206)

But if anyone opposes the Messenger after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will hand him over to whatever he has turned to, and We will roast him in Hell. What an evil destination! (Surat an-Nisa', 115)

Hell, where they will roast. What an evil resting-place! This! So let them taste it – boiling water and scalding pus. (Surah Sâd, 56-57)

It is the Refuge of Unbelievers

Those who say that the Messiah, son of Maryam, is Allah are disbelievers. The Messiah said, 'Tribe of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. If anyone associates anything with Allah, Allah has forbidden him the Garden and his refuge will be the Fire.' The wrongdoers will have no helpers. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 72)

As for those who do not expect to meet Us and are content with the life of this world and at rest in it, and those who are heedless of Our Signs, their shelter will be the Fire because of what they earned. (Surah Yunus, 7-8)

Fire is Their Residence

Allah will admit those who believe to Gardens with rivers flowing under them.Those who disbelieve have their enjoyment, eating as cattle eat, but the Fire will be their final residence. (Surah Muhammad, 12)

There are Beds of Hell-Fire and Coverings of Hell

As for those who deny Our Signs and are arrogant regarding them, the Gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, and they will not enter the Garden until a camel goes through a needle's eye. That is how We repay the evildoers. Theirs will be a bed of hell, and over them coverings (of hell). That is how We repay wrongdoers. (Surat al-A'raf, 40-41)

They Will be Tied to Columns in the Kindled Fire

And what will convey to you what the Shatterer is? The kindled Fire of Allah reaching right into the heart. It is sealed in above them in towering columns. (Surat al-Humaza, 5-9)

They Will be Flung into a Narrow Place in Hell

When they are flung into a narrow place in it, shackled together in chains, they will cry out there for destruction. (Surat al-Furqan, 13)

They Will be Amid a Thick Black Smoke

Amid searing blasts and scalding water and the murk of thick black smoke, providing no coolness and no pleasure. (Surat al-Waqi'a, 42-44)

Hell Will be Surrounded by Walls

That Day the men and women of the hypocrites will say to those who believe, 'Wait for us so that we can borrow some of your light.' They will be told, 'Go back and look for light!'and a wall will be erected between them with a gate in it, on the inside of which there will be mercy but before whose exterior lies the punishment. (Surat al-Hadid, 13)

Say: 'It is the truth from your Lord; so let whoever wishes believe and whoever wishes disbelieve.' We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose billowing walls of smoke will hem them in. If they call for help, they will be helped with water like seething molten brass, frying their faces. What a noxious drink! What an evil repose! (Surat al-Kahf, 29)

There is a Sealed Vault of Fire

Those who reject Our signs, they are the Companions of the Left. Above them is a sealed vault of Fire. (Surat al-Balad, 19-20)


There is a Fire That Torments Unbelievers

On the Day they are tormented by the Fire. (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 13)

There are Shackles and a Blazing Fire

With Us there are shackles and a Blazing Fire and food that chokes and a painful punishment. (Surat al-Muzzammil, 12-13)

There is a Chain the Length of Which is Seventy Cubits

'Seize him and truss him up. Then roast him in the Blazing Fire. Then bind him in a chain which is seventy cubits long. (Surat al-Haqqa, 30-32)

Chains and Shackles are Made Ready for Unbelievers

We have made ready for the disbelievers shackles and chains and a Searing Blaze. (Surat al-Insan, 4)

Hell is a Place of Ambush

Hell lies in wait – a homecoming for the profligate remaining in it for countless aeons, not tasting any coolness there or any drink, except for boiling water and scalding pus. (Surat an-Naba', 21-25)

Thorny Bush and Tree of az-Zaqqum are Their Food

Roasting in a red-hot Fire, drinking from a boiling spring. They have no food but a bitter thorny bush which neither nourishes nor satisfies. (Surat al-Ghashiyya, 4-7)

The Tree of az-Zaqqum is the food of the wicked, seething in the belly like molten brass, as boiling water bubbles and seethes. Seize him and drag him bodily into the middle of the Blazing Fire. Then pour the punishment of boiling water on his head.' (Surat ad-Dukhan, 43-48)

There is No Way of Escaping from It

The evildoers will see the Fire and realise they are going to fall into it and find no way of escaping from it. (Surat al-Kahf, 53)
