Presents: The Final Consequence (2)

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم و الصلاة و السلام على أشرف المرسلين محمد و على آله و أصحابه إلى يوم القيامة

Alhamdulillah for sparing our lives till this moment and making us Muslims. 
Indeed our being and existence aren't our making but ALLAH's. And Allah has provided us with a guide (The Quran) to help us through our lives on earth; in it is the clear path and cure for the believers.

Today's topic shall be tagged: The Final Consequence: "Hell" which is a sequence to last week's topic.We pray to Almighty Allah to help us through its course.Aameen.

Last week, we learnt that our actions on earth have a consequence in the afterlife. We also quickly mentioned the deeds that lead to each consequence. Some of us maybe a little bit withdrawn with the topic of today being that this topic was chosen first but the truth is we hope to end with the sweet part next week bi izinillah ta'ala.

HELL
Why Hell?
Many verses in the Quran indicate that hell is meant for the disbelievers- those that turn away from what Allah commands and embrace what HE forbids; certainly they are the ungrateful.

HELL

What's the real story?
After the creation of hell, Allah (suhanahu wa ta'ala), ordered Angel Jibreel  Alayhis Salatu Wasallam to visit it. After witnessing the punishments, the horror, the afflictions and tortures of Jahannam, he submitted:

"O Allah! I swear by Thy Glory and Thy Grandeur that if anyone comes to know of the conditions in Jahannam they
will do everything possible never to go near it."

How then will Jahannam be the abode of some even after the scary stories?

Almighty Allah then surrounded Jahannam with acts of superficial indulgence, such as Shirk, Fitnah, lying and back-biting, adultery and fornication, drinking, cruelty and disrespect towards parents,stealing, Ribah, pride and disregard of the Divine Commandments etc and then again ordered Jibreel to visit it.
 He saw it and submitted:

"My Lord and Creator! I fear that hardly anybody will be able to escape it."

Taking  a look at the above, it would seem that nobody will be able to escape the prangs of hell because of the worldly pleasures attached to hell. That's a wrong notion- a topic for another day.

Painting a picture of hell

It is so clear so much so that it aligns with human conception in then words of the Quran. As said, the fire of Jahannam burnt for a thousand years then it became red. Again it burnt for another thousand years and then it became black. It is at this stage black with the redness of the flame.

Jahannam is so deep that if a rock is thrown into it, it will take more than seventy years to reach the bottom. According to texts from Mishkat-ul-Masabih, the fire of this world that Almighty Allah blessed humanity with, originated from just a single flame of Jahannam that had to be washed seventy times before it was brought down to earth. Just one drop of the stench of Jahannam is enough to kill the entire human race. 
أعوذ بالله من النار...
What will happen?

Allah says in surah Al-mulk: in verses 6, 7 and 8  :

(وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ)
[Surat Al-Mulk 6]

Translation:
And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

(إِذَا أُلْقُوا فِيهَا سَمِعُوا لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِيَ تَفُورُ)
[Surat Al-Mulk 7]

Translation: 
When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

(تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَا أُلْقِيَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ)
[Surat Al-Mulk 8]

Translation:
It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

We will in shaa Allah stop here today and pray to Allah to keep us till then and beyond and protect us from the torments of Hell. Aameen.
سبحانك الله و بحمدك أشهد ان لا اله إلا أنت أستغفر الله و أتوب إليه
Wasalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
