TODAY IS AL-AHAD, 08 SAFAR 1435 H [SUNDAY, 30 NOVEMBER 2014] ISLAMIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE DAY - DESCRIPTION OF HELLFIRE IN THE QURAN. Please click the LINKS for more details and watch the VIDEO at the bottom. EXCERPTS: Muslims hope to spend their eternal lives in Heaven (jannah), but many will fall short. Disbelievers and evil-doers face another destination: Hell-Fire (jahannam). The Quran contains many warnings and descriptions of the severity of this eternal punishment. Cursed By Allah The worst punishment for disbelievers and wrongdoers will be the realization that they have failed. They did not heed Allahs guidance and warnings, and thus have earned His wrath. The Arabic word, jahannam, means a dark storm or a stern expression. Both exemplify the seriousness of this punishment. The Quran says: Those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- on them is Allahs curse, and the curse of angels, and of all mankind. They will abide therein: Their penalty will not be lightened, nor will they receive respite (2:161-162). They are (men) whom Allah hath cursed: And those whom Allah Hath cursed, thou wilt find, have no one to help (4:52). Blazing Fire The blazing fire of Hell is fueled with men and stones. ...fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those who reject Faith (2:24). ...Enough is Hell for a burning fire. Those who reject Our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty. For Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise (4:55-56). But he whose balance (of good deeds) is found to be light, will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit. And what will explain to you what this is? A Fire blazing fiercely! (101:8-11). Boiling Water Normally water brings relief and puts out a fire. The water in Hell, though, is different. ...Those who deny (their Lord), for them will be cut out a garment of Fire. Over their heads will be poured out boiling water. With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back, and (it will be said), Taste the Penalty of Burning! (22:19-22). In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water (14:16). In its midst and in the midst of boiling hot water will they wander round! (55:44). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> youtube/watch?v=ZUbjw683Aio&feature=share
