A Glimpse Of Hell

A recent news article regarding the volcano in iceland suggests that it may erupt at any time, causing yet another global disaster. This natural catastrophe is one of many signs sent down from God.


99:1When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion,
Itha zulzilati al-ardu zilzalaha
99:2And the earth throws up her burdens (from within),
Waakhrajati al-ardu athqalaha
99:3And man cries (distressed): 'What is the matter with her?'-
Waqala al-insanu ma laha
The video below shows just how unpredictable and terrifying an erupting volcano can be.  This volcanic landscape with bubbling lava, spewing eruptions, and colliding rivers of fire.





Now think this is how HOT a volcano is, can you even imagine the intense heat of HELL?


Islam teaches that Hell is a real place prepared by God 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)
Its Levels Hell has various levels of heat and punishment, each is reserved according to the extent of their disbelief and sins of those being punished. God says:
“Surely, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire.” (Quran 4:145)
The lower the level of Hell, the greater is the intensity of heat. Since the hypocrites will suffer the worst punishment, so will they be in the lowest part of Hell.

Let this be a reminder for us all.  Strive to do good and remember our destination - THE GRAVE!.  


OH Allah! Please forgive our sins, indeed we are your sinful slaves.
Save us from the torment of the fire of hell... Ameen
