Punishment Of Womens seen by Holy Prophet On the Night Of Mairaj
Reasons are provided in red words
Hazrat Ali said that once he and Bibi Fatima went to visit the
Holy Prophet. The Holy Prophet was weeping. They inquired the reason that had
made the Holy Prophet weep. He replied: "On the night of the Ascension
(Mairaj), I saw the punishments being given to some women, today I was
remembering those scenes. This is why I am worried". They asked,
"Please tell us what did you see?Our Prophet Replied:
"He saw a woman hanging by her hair and her brain was
boiling. (This was the punishment of that woman who
did not hide her hair by covering her head from men)
He saw one woman hanging by her tongue with her hands tied against her back. (She used to hurt her husband's feelings by her tongue i.e. speaking)
He saw one woman hanging by her tongue with her hands tied against her back. (She used to hurt her husband's feelings by her tongue i.e. speaking)
He saw one woman with both her hands and feet tied towards her
forehead; and snakes and scorpions were attacking her. (She used to go out of her house without
the permission of her husband and she did not clean up herself properly by
taking a shower after menses and child birth bleeding).
One woman was eating her own flesh and there was fire burning
under her. (She used to dress up and apply make-up in order to attract attention
of males and she used to speak bad about people behind their backs).
One woman was seen having her body being cut by a scissor made
out of fire. (This was the punishment for showing her
body and private parts to other men).
One woman had a face of pig and the body of a donkey, and she was being punished in different styles. (She used to tell lies and make false accusations)
One woman had a face of pig and the body of a donkey, and she was being punished in different styles. (She used to tell lies and make false accusations)
There was a woman who looked like a dog, snakes and scorpions
were entering into her front-side and coming out from her backside. And angels
were hitting her with a hammer made up of fire. (She used to have an attitude problem
towards her husband).
A Girl was buried with proper kafan (cloth wrapped round the dead
body).After that she was sitting in the shape of bow (bow & arrow) and her kafan was torn. Her feet were tied by her hair on her head and a lot of small frightening animals were clustering all around her body !!!
Reason: She had cut
her hair according to the latest fashion and attended the wedding all dressed
up in tight clothes, and make-up done on accordingly.)
Important Note:
Dear Mother & Sisters! Read these punishments again and again, and be frightened by the wrath of Allah Life is very short. Before you even realise, it
will come to an end. Very soon,
all those people who listen to us or care about us will take our dead body to
the graveyard on their shoulders and bury it. If Allah and His dear Prophet get annoyed by us, then we would not
be able to face severe and horrifying
punishments in the grave and as well as on the Day of Judgement. Let us pray that Allah forgives us and becomes happy with us. Please, for your own sake, follow the practice of veiling(covering) and, also strictly, advise your daughters-in-law , daughters,sisters,mothers to make it a habit of practicing this
custom of veiling.
Punishment for fornication (Zina)
“Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred, except for just cause, nor commit fornication; and any that does this (not only) meets punishment (but) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell there in inignominy.”
(Al-Furqan, 25:68-69).
In this verse from the Qur’an, the sin of fornication is given its seriousness by being ranked as follows: the most major sin of all is associating partners with Allah Most High (shirk); the second most major sin is murder; and the third most major sin is fornication. And if you are interested in whatProphet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had to say about fornication we have this, “The one who commits illegal sexual intercourse is not a believer at the time of committing illegal sexual intercourse.” I would say wrong sexual intercourse is not some small wrong, but is actually a very, very major wrong. Don’t forget, the crime of zina (illegal sexual intercourse) is one of the very fewoffences that Allah has considered so important that He has prescribed a specific punishment, in thiscase it was, and still is, one hundred strokes of the cane.
Punishment for Backbiters or Slanderers
Punishment is provided in red colour
Hadhrat ‘Ala b. Harith narrates
that the Prophet of Allah observed: ‘’ Those who accuse the innocent and those who go about backbiting, both classes of people shall be treated like dogs.
Hadhrat Ibn ‘Abbas (may
Allah be pleased with him) states that the Holy Prophet observed that on
thenight of his visit to the
heaven he saw a nation eating corpses and deads animals. He enquired: ‘’ Who are those people? ’’ The Prophet was
informed: These are the people who used to eat the flesh of others i.e. they backbited others.’’
Hadhrat Anas reported
that the Holy Prophet during his ascension to heaven saw some people scratching
their faces and breasts with their nails. The Holy Prophet enquired: ‘’Who are these people?’’ Gabriel
(as) submitted in reply: ‘’These are the people who used to eat the flesh of others, who backbited and brought calumnies against others.’’ (Abu Dawud)
In a tradition reported by Hadhrat Rashid b. Sa’d it is related
that the Holy Prophet observed: ‘’ I saw some people who are hanging by the breasts. ‘’ I enquired: ‘’These people are those who found faults with others and brought calumnies against them.’’ (Ahmaad)
Hadhrat Jabir b.
‘Abdullah relates: ‘’We were in the company of the Holy Prophet
while a blow of foul-smelling wind came towards us.
‘’The Holy Prophet observed: ‘’Do you know what sort of a wind is this? This
wind carries the foul smell of those who accuse the faithful behind their back.’’ (Ahmad. Ibn Abi Dunya)
Hadhrat Abu Sa’id (may
Allah be pleased with him) and Hadhrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) report a tradition that
the Holy Prophet observed: ‘’Backbiting is worse than adultery.
Adultery is excused after penitence; but backbiting cannot be excused until the person who has been maligned excuses the backbiter.’’
Adultery is excused after penitence; but backbiting cannot be excused until the person who has been maligned excuses the backbiter.’’
The Noble Messenger (s)
said: “Whoever backbites a Muslim spoils his fasts and breaks his wudu', and shall come on the Day of Resurrection with his mouth's stench more putrid than a carcass', and it shall irk those who are with him in his station (mawqif).
If he dies before repenting, his death is like that of one who dies
while considering permissible that which is prohibited by God, the Exalted and the
Glorious.” (Al-Hurr al-`Amili, Wasa'il al-Shi`ah, vol. 8, hadith no. 16316)
Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) narrated from the Prophet (s) who said: “O you
who have embraced Islam with your tongues but in whose hearts faith has not yet
entered, do not disparage Muslims and do not seek their defects. Verily, God
will seek out the defects of he who is after their defects; and one who has God after
his defects will be humiliated, even in his own abode.”
(Al-Kulayni, al-Kafi, vol. 2, "Kitab al-Iman wa
al-Kufr", "Bab man talaba 'atharat al-Mu'minin", hadith no. 2)
Imam al-Sadiq (‘a)
narrated from the Prophet (s) who said: “The havoc wrought on the believer's
faith by backbiting is swifter than the one wrought by aklah (a disease that consumes the flesh) in the
side of his body.” (Al-Kulayni, al-Kafi, vol. 2, "Kitab al-Iman wa
al-Kufr", "Bab al-Gheebah wa al-Buht", hadith no. 1)
In Quran it
is mentions about backbiting is forbidden in Islam.Women's are the worst ones in backbiting
today we find.
The Punishment for backbiting is that there tongue will
be nailed and their tongue will be wrapped and they will be hanging down with their tongue will be made as rope.
Mohammad pbuh said
there will be lots of people in Jhanaum for backbiting from his Ummah and the most of them will
be Womens.
Important Note: So all my Muslim Brothers and Sisters stop backbiting against
people...
Criticism in not Ghibah
in 6 cases
1.Complaint
2.Identificaton
3.Warning,
4.Criticizing
5.Someone who openly
commits sin,
6.Seeking a Fatwa &
asking for help to correct wrongdoing.”
Major sins are those acts which will be replaced with great deal
of punishment not only in this world, but in hereafter as well. Below are given
few of major sin;
1: Shirk
Shirk or ascribing partners with ALLAH is that sin which will
never be pardoned because when a person commits shirk, he associates partners
with ALLAH and goes beyond the concept of oneness of ALLAH. With the passage of
time, humanity lost itself into the matters of worldly affairs and forgot the
message of ALLAH and who their GOD was. Shirk comes with suspicions. When a
person is suspicious that something might not hurt him or cause him any other
damage he starts to seek ways to get rid of it, by sometimes praying it and
sometimes praying others against it. This shows the weakness of iman.
Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up
with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He
pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed
invented a tremendous sin.
2 To not call kafir, a kafir
It is another big sin to call a kafir a Muslim or a right
person. A kafir is one who does not believe in ALLAH. Thus a kafir is not be
made friend nor he should be taken as kin. In Quran, ALLAH swt even told us to
disown even the parents who are kafirs because living with a kafir wil weakens
the iman of a Muslim. But this must not be confused with dawah. To do dawah
means to invite others towards Islam. But making friends with kafirs or taking
them as relatives’ means that you do not care for the honor of ALLAH and thus
you commit a grave sin.
3: Blasphemy
Though blasphemy is not even considered as a minor sin today,
but it is a major sin., and those who made fun of Muhammad s.a.w.w in the life
time of Muhammad s.a.w.w and even after Him, most of them were killed for this.
To love and respect Muhammad s.a.w.w is the most important thing for every
Muslim to do. If we cannot listen a bad word about our own parents, how could
we make our ears listen to the filth against our beloved Prophet Muhammad
s.a.w.w?
4: Renouncing Islam
Apostasy is another major sin and in most cases apostates are
killed no matter if one comes up with thousands of explanations. It is written
in Quran and explained from sahih hadith that those apostates who renounce Islam
for the sake of some rewards or to defame Islam, they should be killed. These
people become a danger for the imans of even other people and sometimes we see
them given protection by non Muslims and their filthy works are rewarded by
them. Slamn rushdi, taslima nasrin and some others are the prominent apostates
who instead of clearing their misconceptions relied on their personal opinions
about Islam and they are still under protection of non Muslims.
5: Innovation
To innovate new things in Islam and to reject few things from
Islam and hadith as well as from Quran is another major sin. The innovators are
the people who change the shariat according to their damned wishes and while
doing so, they do not understand for a second that they have not only ruined
their own imans but they have ruined their follower’s iman as well. Today we
see many innovators misleading people and people too follow them blindly.
6: Rejection of hadith
Rejection of sunnah and only believing in Quran is also a major
sin. Muhammad s.a.w.w predicted about such people who will reject hadith. Also,
it is against the orders of ALLAH to obey Him and to obey His Messenger
s.a.w.w. such people are excluded from the folds of Islam.
7: Murder
Murder is a grave sin which is condemned in Islam is very clear
words. Quran says that one who kills an innocent has killed a whole humanity.
Thus Quran condemns it and does not restricts unjust killing to Muslim but also
to non Muslims. Such a person is punished in this world and he will be on the
mercy of ALLAH In this matter in the hereafter too.
8: Suspicions
Suspicions are the human perceptions about the things he sees.
These perceptions made him sometimes to disbelief and sometimes to harm other.
Thus false perceptions and suspicions without any reason are restricted in
Islam. They have no ground in Islam and they are always baseless.
9: Lies and Back biting
Lies and backbiting also come under major sins. Lies can never
be hidden and backbiting is as if somebody eats his dead brother’s meat which
is degusting. When a person lies he cuts his good deeds and when a person
backbites, he gives a part of his good deeds to the person about whom he
backbite and takes his sins as reward. Backbiting is to tell a truth (a
negative thing) about a person in his absence.
10: Jadu-magic
Magic is a grave sin and it comes under shirk. Magic is a
knowledge which is to invoke evil jins and devils for fulfilling a purpose. The
magician might not even know that he is committing a sin, but he actually calls
upon jins instead of Allah and that too to harm other. Magic was never used for
good from the day first. It was always taken as an easy source to sow the seed
of hatred between people thus magic is not only a shirk but also a sin of
discomforting others because of one’s evil desires.
Description of hell in Islam
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]
(One’s rejection of faith is transgression against Allah and himself).
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.’”
[Muslim]
The Gates of Hell
“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]
[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]
[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]
[al Balad, 90: 19-20]
In Arabic, the phrase “on them will be fire vaulted over”
indicates that the gates of Hell be closed. In other words, the fire will
encompass the companions of the Fire, and the gates of Hell will imprison them
within. As well, the gates of Hell will be locked, vaulted all around, and
outstretched columns will cover the doors.
“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]
[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.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
‘When the month of Ramadan begins and the gates of Heaven are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
Levels of Hell
“To all are degrees or ranks according to their deeds.”
[an-An'am, 6: 132]
[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]
[ali'-Imran, 3: 162-163]
“Indeed the hypocrites are in the lowest depths of the Fire; you
will find no helper for them.”
[an Nisa, 4: 145]
[an Nisa, 4: 145]
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, of
course, 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]
[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]
[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]
“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]
“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]
[Muslim]
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that Allah’s Messenger
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“Hell and Paradise fell into a dispute during which Hell said, ‘I have been distinguished by the proud and the haughty.’ And Paradise said, ‘What is the matter with me that only the meek and the humble and the downtrodden and the simple enter me?’
Thereupon, Allah said to Paradise, ‘You are the means of My mercy whereby I show mercy to those of My servants whom I wish.’ Then HE said to Hell, ‘You are the means of punishment whereby I punish those of My servants whom I wish. Both of you will be full.’ Hell will not be filled up until Allah puts His foot over it. Then Hell will say, ‘Enough, enough, enough,’ at which point it will be filled up, all of its parts integrated together.”
[Muslim]

Anas bin Malik (radiAllahu anhu) reported that Allah’s Messenger
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“Hell will continue to ask, ‘Is there anything more?’ until Allah, the Exalted, and High will place His foot thereon, Then it will say, ‘Enough, enough, by Your honor,’ and some of its parts will draw close together.’”
[Muslim]
“Hell will continue to ask, ‘Is there anything more?’ until Allah, the Exalted, and High will place His foot thereon, Then it will say, ‘Enough, enough, by Your honor,’ and some of its parts will draw close together.’”
[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 right path. 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.”
[al-Tahreem, 66: 6]
[al-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]
[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]
‘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]
[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]
[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]
[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.”

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.’”

The Shade of Hell
“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 and in the shades of black smoke – nothing cool and nothing
beneficial.”
[Waqi’ah, 56: 41-44]
[Waqi’ah, 56: 41-44]
“And woe that Day to the deniers (of truth). ([It will be said],
‘Depart to a shadow [of smoke ascending] in three columns, [which yields] no
shade of coolness and is of no use against the fierce blaze.’”
[Mursalat, 77: 28-31]

“Those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, ‘Pray to
your Lord to lighten for us the penalty for a day (at least).’ They will say,

precisely what they are commanded.”
[at-Tahreem, 66: 6]
[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 to mankind.”

Hell.’” (thuhr period is just before 'Asr)

Allah will expose all that you fear.’ If you question them, they declare, ‘We
were only talking idly and playing.’ Say, ‘Is it Allah and His signs and His
messengers that you were mocking?’ Make no excuses that you were rejected faith
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
the rejecters of faith the fire of Hell; they will dwell therein. It is
sufficient for them. And Allah will curse them, and they will have an enduring
punishment.”

Nor did those who had been given the scripture make schisms until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere in religion to Him, to establish regular prayer, and to pay zakah. And that is the upright religion.

Tyrants:
“But they asked victory, and disappointment is the lot of every obstinate tyrant. In front of him is Hell, and he is given pus to drink. He will gulp it but will hardly be able t oswallow it, and death will come to him from every place, yet he will not die. And in front of him will be a heavy punishment.”
[Ibrahim, 14: 15-17]

obstinate rejecter [of Allah] – who prevented good, transgressed, and doubted,
who set up another god besides Allah – throw him into the severe punishment.’”

And shall I not inform you who the people of Hell are? [They are comprised of ] every one who is cruel, proud and arrogant.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim]
It is narrated: “The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
‘The inhabitants of Hell are five: 1) the weak who lack self-restraint, who follow blindly and do not care for family or property (i.e. they care neither for the benefits of the Hereafter nor of this world); 2) the treacherous who does not show himself but his greed is such that he is deceitful even in small things; 3) a person who would betray you morning and evening regarding your family and your property.’ He also made mention of 4) the miser of the liar and 5) one who is in the habit of abusing people and using obscene and foul language.”

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.”

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 odor, although will be smelled from long distances away.”
[Muslim]

[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).

[ad-Dukhan, 44: 43-46]
“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.”

fear due to Him, and do not die except as Muslims.’ Then he said, ‘If a drop of

we denied and said, ‘Allah has revealed nothing. You are but in great delusion.’

guidance, but the Word will be realized: ‘I will fill Hell with jinn and men
all together. Taste, then- for you forgot the meeting of this, your Day, We,
[too], will forget you. And the taste the punishment of eternity for what you
used to do.’”

Are there no intercessors [now] to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent
back to do other than we used to do?’ They will have lost their souls, and lost
