Islam teaches that Hell is a real place prepared by God (Allah) for those who do not believe in Him, rebel against His laws, and reject His messengers. Hell is an actual place, not a mere state of mind or a spiritual entity. The horrors, pain, anguish, and punishment are all real, but different in nature than their earthly counterparts. Hell is the ultimate humiliation and loss, and nothing is worse than it:

“Our Lord! Surely, whom you admit to the Fire, indeed you have disgraced him, and never will the wrongdoers find any helpers.” (Quran 3:192)

“Know they not that whoever opposes God and His Messenger (Muhammad), certainly for him will be the Fire of Hell to abide therein? That is the extreme disgrace.” (Quran 9:63)
The Names of Hell

Hell Fire has different names in Islamic texts. Each name gives a separate description. Some of its names are:

  • Jaheem – fire – because of its blazing fire.
  • Jahannam – Hell – because of the depth of its pit.
  • Ladthaa – blazing fire – because of its flames.
  • Sa’eer – blazing flame – because it is kindled and ignited.
  • Saqar – because of the intensity of its heat.
  • Hatamah – broken pieces or debris – because it breaks and crushes everything that is thrown into it.
  • Haawiyah – chasm or abyss – because the one who is thrown into it is thrown from top to bottom.


Paradise and Hell Presently

Exist and are Eternal

Hell exists at the present time and will continue to exist forever. It will never pass away and its inhabitants will remain in it forever. Traditional Muslim belief is that no one will come out of Hell except sinful believers who believed in the Oneness of God (Allah) in this life and believed in the specific prophet (saw) sent to them. The polytheists and unbelievers will reside in it forever. This belief has been held from classical times and is based on clear verses of the Quran and confirmed reports from the Prophet of Islam. The Quran speaks of Hell in the past tense and states that it has already been created:

“And fear the Fire which is prepared for the disbelievers.” (Quran 3:131)

The Prophet (saw) said:

“When any of you dies, he is shown his position (in the Hereafter) morning and evening. If he is one of the people of Paradise, he is shown the place of the people of Paradise. If he is one of the people of Hell, he is shown the place of people of Hell. He is told, ‘this is your position, until God resurrects you on the Day of Resurrection.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim)

In another report, the Prophet (pbuh) said:

“Surely, the soul of a believer is a bird hanging on the trees of Paradise, until God returns it to his body on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muwatta of Malik)

These texts make it clear that Hell and Paradise exists, and that souls may enter them before the Day of Resurrection. Speaking of Hell’s eternity, God says:

“They will long to leave the Fire, but never will they leave there from; and theirs will be a lasting torment.” (Quran 5:37)

“…And they will never leave of the Fire.” (Quran 2:167)

“Surely, those who disbelieve and did wrong; God will not forgive them, nor will He guide them to any way except the way of Hell, to dwell therein forever.” (Quran 4:168-169)

“Surely, God has cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a flaming Fire wherein they will abide for ever.” (Quran 33:64)

“And whosoever disobeys God and His Messenger, then surely, for him is the fire of Hell, he shall dwell therein forever.” (Quran 72:23)
The Keepers of Hell

Mighty and stern angels stand over Hell who never disobeys God (Allah). They do precisely as ordered. God (Allah) says:

“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 flinch not (from executing) the commands they receive from God, but do (precisely what) they are commanded.” (Quran 66:6)

They are nineteen keepers of Hell as God (Allah) says:

“Soon I will cast him into Hell Fire. And what will explain to you what is Hellfire? Nothing does it allow to endure, and nothing does it leave alone! Darkening and changing the color of man! Over it are nineteen (angels as keepers of Hell).” (Quran 74:26:30)

One should not think that the inhabitants of Hell will be able to overcome the keepers of Hell because there are just nineteen of them. Every one of them has the strength to subdue all humanity by him self. These angels are called the Guards of Hell by God in the Quran:

ADVERTISEMENT

“And those in the Fire will say to the Guards of Hell, ‘Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!’” (Quran 40:49)

The name of the chief angel guarding over Hell is Malik, as mentioned in the Quran:

“Surely, the disbelievers will be in the torment of Hell to abide therein forever. (The torment) will not be lightened for them, and they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair therein. We wronged them not, but they were the wrongdoers. And they will cry: ‘O Malik! Let your Lord make an end of us’ He will say: ‘Surely, you shall abide forever.’ Indeed We have brought the truth to you, but most of you have a hatred for the truth” (Quran 43:74-78)


The least torture in Hell

The severity of its heat, and their variation in it: An-Nu`man ibn Bashir (RA) narrated that he heard the Prophet(saw) say: “The least torture in the Hell on the Day of Judgment is that of a man whose foot sole is laid on a live coal which causes his brain to boil just like a boiler.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

Muslim narrated in his Sahih:
“He does not think that any other person is tortured more severely than him although he is in the least torture.” [Muslim]

Abu Huraira (RA) narrated:
“This fire of yours which burns the son of Adam (in this world) is the seventieth part of the heat of the Hell. They say: ‘We swear by Allah, our fire is quite enough.’ The Prophet said: ‘It is sixty nine times more and each part of it is like the heat of your fire.” [Muslim]

Abu Huraira said, that the Prophet (saw) said:
“The Hell complained to her Rabb: O my Rabb! I am eating myself. He allowed her two breaths: One in winter and the other one in summer, and that is why you feel the heat in Summer and the cold in Winter.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

Samura narrated that he heard the Prophet, (saw), said:
“Fire holds some to their ankle bones, some to their knees, some to their waists, and some up to their collarbones.” [Muslim]

This Hadith is a statement for the variation in degrees in the punishment of those in the Hell. We seek protection of Allah from it and from anything that leads to it whether word or deed. Aamiin!

    "Allahumma Jannibnaa 'ani Nnaar" O Allah keep us far from hell fire…Ameen

    • Muhammad Maulidi says:
      13 years ago

      Allahumma Aameen!

      Here are some of the Duwah from the Holy Qur’an for seeking protection from hell of Jahannam:

      Those who praise God (Allah) standing sitting or lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth “Our Lord, You have not created this in vain, glory be to You! So save us from the chastisement of the fire. (surah 3, ayah 191)

      Our Lord! Surely whosoever You admit into the fire, You have indeed brought to disgrace, there shall be no helper for the evildoers. (surah 3, ayah 192)

      Our Lord! We have heard a caller calling to the Faith, saying “believe in your Lord” so we did believe. Our Lord, forgive us our sins, pardon us our misdeeds, and make us die among the righteous. (surah 3, ayah193)

      Aameen!
