Graphic illustrations of the various punishments are found in the famous miniatures of Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale Suppl. Detailed description of Journey of the soul and the punishments in Hell (Naraka) are detailed in Garuda Purana. A Judeo-Arabic version of a popular narrative known as The Story of the Skull (whose earliest version is attributed to Ka'ab al-Ahbar) offers a detailed picture of the concept of Jahannam. There are eight doors of Jannah. There are 300 places and in each, there are 300 rooms and in each room, there are 300 kinds of penalties. Arabic texts written by Jews in Judeo-Arabic script (particularly those which are identified with the Isra'iliyyat genre in the study of hadith) also feature descriptions of Jahannam (or Jahannahum). Murderers are being knifed by demons in endless expiation of their crime. So away with the residents of the Saeer! Al-Mulk 67:10-11. [155] Two verses in the Quran (6:128[156] and 11:107)[157] emphasize that consignment to hell is horrible and eternal but include the caveat "except as God (or your Lord) wills it", which some scholars considered an exemption from the eternity of hell. This will be decided on a day known as Yawm ad-Din (day of judgement). The fire will start eating from the feet and blaze until it reaches the heart. Al-Firdaus. These are eight levels of Jannah. Al-Lahab . [20] So in fact, Hell and Paradise are just as real as the current world, which is unreal in comparison to God. As per Islam, Jahannam means the place of punishment for unbelievers and other evildoers in the afterlife. Then, they order the Earth to swallow and crush the dead inside its womb, saying: "Seize him and take revenge, because he has stolen Allh's wealth and worshipped others than Him". [citation needed], According to a major Shia Islam website, al-Islam.org, Hellfire is the eternal destination of unbelievers,[160] although another essay on the site states that there is a set of unbelievers known as Jahil-e-Qasir (lit. This change comes to completion in the Babylonian Talmud, written around 500 CE. Lower down, shackled in collars of fire, are those who failed to keep their word. Death will never come to you; you will be alive forever. [99], However, other hadith imply that the majority of people in paradise will be women.

Jannatul Firdous (Garden of Paradise)3. (Q.4:48); What sins are considered grave enough to merit damnation ("There is no fixed canon of mortal sins in Islamic theology"); "Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (Q.2:62; cf. , Surely those who reject Our signs, We will cast them into the Fire. Jahannam, Islmic hell, described somewhat ambiguously in the Qurn and by Muammad. The common belief among Muslims holds that Jahannam coexists with the temporal world, just as Jannah (the Islamic paradise), does,[20] (rather than being created after Judgment Day). [51] (These angels and their subordinates were later called Zabaniyah, term from another Quranic verse (Q.11:106). Furnace for the disbelievers. The highest heavens are Paradise (), which is prophets and apostles, martyrs and pious people live in it. Dar al-Jalal (Abode of Glory)7. [186][187] Consequently, most of "modern Muslim Theologians" either "silence the issue" or reaffirm "the traditional position that the reality of the afterlife must not be denied but that its exact nature remains unfathomable". ), "Their wish will be to get out of the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom: their penalty will be one that endures." Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Hutama. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you. The women asked, O Messenger of Allah, what is deficient in our intelligence and religious commitment? He said, Is not the testimony of two women equal to the testimony of one man? They said, Yes. He said, This is the deficiency in her intelligence. The idea of the "demise of hell" (ibn Taymiyya, Yemenite ibn al-Wazir (d.840/1436)[167] meant (or at least meant to these theologians) that God would provide for "universal salvation even for non-Muslims". Vol. 7, Book 62, Hadith 126, It was narrated that Abd-Allah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I was shown Hell and I have never seen anything more terrifying than it. inculpable ignorant), who "will attain salvation if they are truthful to their own religion" because the message of Islam either didn't reach them, or reached them in an incorrect form. Thus We punish every disbeliever." [61][62][63], Hell's resemblance to a prison is strong. Those bunches of grapes would be the bigger ones. [49], The common belief among Muslims (as indicated above) is that duration in hell is temporary for Muslims but not for others. In two places in the Quran, almost identical verses seem to indicate they are saved: but there "exists a strong exegetical tradition" that claims these verses were abrogated by a later verse indicating a much less pleasant hereafter: Quranic verses suggest that Judgement Day, Pardise and Hell are not "conceived to lie" off in some indefinite future, but "immediately ahead; it is now, or almost there already". Inmates have chains around their necks (Q.13.5, 34:33, 36:8, 78:4, etc. Jahannam is described as being located below heaven, having seven gates, each for a specific group or at least a different "portion" or "party" of sinners. 1967. 3. "Is the Moslem Hell Eternal? Allah is the Just. ), "God misleads whom He will and whom He will He guides." People who enter through this gate will be punished such that the fire will eat up their flesh but not bones. (21)Chapter: To be ungrateful to one's husband. The faithful, according to the Quran, shall find peace in God's presence and in "gardens under which rivers flow. 2. Al-Laza and al-Saqar are switched in Lange's list, and there is no accompanying type of unbelievers for each level. [168], Many prominent Sufis preached "the centrality of the love of God" for which focus on eternal reward was a "distraction". [5] Both Jannah and Jahannam are believed to have several levels, in both cases, the higher the level, the more desirable[6]: 131-133 -- in Jannah the higher the prestige and pleasure, in Jahannam the less the suffering. Al-Tha'alibis (9611038) in his Qisas Al-Anbiya[222] and Al-Suyutis Al-Haya as-samya fi l-haya as-sunmya[223] describes Iblis as chained to the bottom of hell, commanding his hosts of demons from there. Any traces of their previous punishment will be removed, and they will get their stance in Jannah that they will be content with. These are faithless guardians, devoured now by serpents even as they once devoured the inheritances committed to their trust. Jannah has eight gates or doors, through which Muslims can enter after their resurrection on Judgment Day; and it has multiple levels, in which good Muslims reside and commune with angels and prophets. Names of 7 Gates to Jahannam (Hell Fire) 1. The Christian Bible itself makes no mention of hell being the home of the devil. [27][8][26] The Quran also mentions wrongdoers having "degrees (or ranks) according to their deeds",[48] (which some scholars believe refers to the "specific parties" at each of the gates);[39] and of there being "seven heavens in layers, and likewise for the earth" (Q.65:12),[49] (though this doesn't indicate that the seven layers of earth are hell). It has seven gates, designated for each group of them. hadiths, were compiled into special eschatological handbooks by authors such as: Here is another tradition of layers quoted by A. F. Klein: According to the first part of verse Q.65:12, It is Allah Who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like thereof (i.e. To serve Mumin, eighty thousand (80,000) young boys would roam around them like the gorgeous scattered pearls. Inferno interim for the sinner among the Christians. [150] [Note 19] There are also symbolic and more merciful interpretations of hell among Muslims. Inferno interim for the sinner among the Christians; Provisional destination for sinners among the Jewish; A bottomless abyss for hypocrites, like the Pharaoh and people who disbelieves after Isa's table or Muslims who are outwardly believers but inwardly infidels. In Islam, Jannah will enjoy pleasure, while the unbelievers will suffer in Jahannam. ". According to Hadith, Tafsir and scholars Jannah has one hundred levels. 2. Though Hasan was so holy he was considered a "pious exemplar" of his age, he still felt great anxiety as to whether he would be among the lucky ones who would spend a mere 1000 years suffering in hell before being released to Jannah. "We do certainly know best those who deserve most to be burned therein" (Q.19:70); "Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating others with Him in worship but forgives anything else of whoever He wills". But distance from God is also only illusory, because everything other than God is an illusion, since "everything is a form of the degrees of the Divine Existence". Their every bowl would come with a new taste. Antony Flew wonders if the "infinite punishment" of hell (where, for example, the skin of the damned being replaced with "fresh skins" when "their skins are roasted through" so that the process can continue for eternity, the standard doctrine that the eternal reward for non-believers is hell, "irrespective of who they were and what they did.". A1 - Gauvain, R. Everyone in Jannah will be given what will make them happy and content, to . Al-Hatamah early 3rd/9th c.). 4. [52][53][54], Punishments in hell described in the Quran tend to revolve around "skin sensation and digestion". [226], As evident from late Ottoman poetry, the notion of Iblis ruling hell remained in Islamic popular tradition until modern times. According to Christian Lange, "the majority" of theologians agreed that Hell like Paradise "was eternal". Allah Ta'ala says regarding the deviant ones who choose to follow Shaytan: 1) "Certainly Jahannam is their promised abode. But if I worship You for Your Own sake, grudge me not Your everlasting Beauty". 5:69), " .whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers." A woman with dark cheeks stood up in the midst of the women and said, Why is that, O Messenger of Allah? He said, Because you complain too much and are ungrateful to your husbands. Then they started to give their jewelry in charity, throwing their earrings and rings into Bilals cloak. (Narrated by Muslim, 885). [169][170], Similarly, Byazd Basm (d. 234/848) proclaimed the fire of "God's love" burns a thousand times more intensely than hellfire. The first mansion is an ocean of fire comprising seventy lesser seas, and on the shore of each sea stands a city of fire. ", "A Description of Hellfire (part 1 of 5): An Introduction", "Conditions and Stages of Jahannam (Hell)", "Quran > Ibn-Kathir Al-Qur'an Tafsir > Surah 111. - Dr Zakir Naik", "The Fate of Non-Muslims: Perspectives on Salvation Outside of Islam", "Is there really such thing as a "kuffar", or "non-believer" in our world today? A single rein will be held by seventy thousand angels". (Faraid-ul-Fawaid) The first level: Its name is Jahannam, which is the least severe in torment. Quranic Definition of Jannah Which Sahabi died in the hands of Prophet Muhammad. 2008. They will say, "Indeed, Allah has forbidden them both to the disbelievers. Saqar is another name for Hell and the third level of Jahannam. There are scorpions and snakes, ropes and chains, and irons. This combines in Jahannam two concepts: an eternal hell (for unbelievers), and a place (an "outer level" of hell was sometimes called al-barrniyya),[151][152] [180] According to one source, they do not believe hell will last for eternity, based on their interpretation of Quranic verse 11:106. Al Bukhari and Sahi say: "Jannah has one hundred levels and between each level is remoteness like the remoteness between the earth and the sky" It is clear that Jannah has one hundred levels but the narrations about its levels may . Jahannam is the first and the lightest level of Hell. Furthermore, they will hold no resentment to anyone else in Jannah.
