Jahannam (Hellfire)And hellfire brothers and sisters, is not a pit. It is a roaring raging beast. That is held down by 70 000 chains, holding each chain is 70 000 angels. There is no scene more terrifying on the day of judgement than that (hellfire) scene. Every creation of Allah, martyrs, prophets, believers, non-believers; they will fall to their knees. All they are saying is O Allah please protect us! O Allah please protect us! And the hellfire is the place, of the most extreme suffering, the most extreme pain of every level that you can imagine. Physical! Mental! Spiritual! Pain and suffering and torment. The people will cry for agony for water. They will cry for a drink, something to cool them. They will be given water, they will be given a drink. But it is boiling water that will scold their faces and burn their insides. This is the hellfire.The guardian of hellfire is Maalik. He has never smiled since the day hellfire was created. He has no remorse. He has no feelings of sensitivity. He is desensitise to all types of horror, no feelings, doesnt feel sorry for anyone. Hellfire is something not to be taken lightly. Saying O our Lord, please take us out and then let us try again. Give us another chance. If we do this again, then we are truly oppressors ourselves. And Allah doesnt reply to them. Allah doesnt speak to them. So some people have false hope. Allah will forgive me. Allah will forgive me. Youre sick. Youre ill. You need to cure yourself. Allah cannot be fooled, SWT. We live in this Dunya as if we are going to remain here. Many of us, we dont think about our moment of death. Many of us, we live as though this is where we are going to remain, as though Allah SWT has given us life forever and we are going in Dunya for all time. And there is not a single person here who knows what his moment of death is going to be like. The first thing that is going to happen to this person, when he is lying on his death bed, his family is sitting all around him. His loved ones are making Dua for him and this maybe us! The angel of death descends upon this person. The angel of death and his deputies, they come and they have black faces. And this is the creation you have never seen before in your life. That moment you are surrounded by your family but you feel so alone because only you can see these angels. And you are trying to say to your family, Help me! Help me! But they cant help you.So these angels, they descend and they come with a foul smell. They come with a rough cloth from hellfire. You are lying there and you want to scream but your voice is not coming out. And the angel of death he comes, and he sits at your head. And then he says, O evil soul! Come out to the anger of Allah and his punishment. So your soul, it hides within your body because it doesnt want to come out. These angels, they beat that person and they pull his soul. The prophet SAW he said, his soul is removed like many hooked iron skewers, so imagine wet wound, and the way you pull a thorny branch, the way it rips and it tears that wound. Thats the way it tears your veins, and your muscles and that person is in intense pain. Then they ascend to the first heaven and then they knock on the first heaven. It is asked, Who is it? And the angels who are carrying your soul, they call you by the worst names you were known by on this Dunya. Then Allah SWT orders the angel; Do not open the door of that first heaven, And that persons soul is dropped from the first heaven to his grave. We fast forward now to the people have buried him and he can hear their footsteps. You are in your grave and you can hear your family footsteps as they leave you. These were the people you turned to in Dunya when you had some distress, when you needed some advice or some help. They bury you and then they leave. This person, this evil soul, he is screaming, Dont leave me! Dont leave me! Where are you going? Why are you leaving me alone? And so, the people, they leave. And then, in a sudden, he sees in the distance two angels. Two very scary angels, they are approaching him. They are called Munkar and Nakir and they are black and they are blue. So, imagine you have never seen these and you see them approaching you, but do you have anywhere to run? Do you have anywhere to hide? Do you have anything that you can protect yourself with? So they sit that person up in his grave and then they ask him three questions. But these angels are rough. They are not going to ask you in a polite way. So, the first question is Who is your Lord? And this person, he didnt learn about Allah SWT, he didnt learn about Syirik. He just lived his life. He didnt care. He was too busy chasing the Dunya. So, he is going to say, Oh, oh, I dont know, Then they are going to ask the second question, What was your religion? And this person, he was too busy, he prayed his Eid Solah but after that he didnt pray. He didnt know his religion. He didnt care about his religion. So, he is going to say, I dont know, Then the third, Who was this man that was sent to you? Hes going to say, I dont know. I heard the people, the Masjid (mosque) where I went to, the people used to say such and such, but I cant remember now, And then a voice calls out. The angels are told to furnish his grave with the furnishing of Jahannam (Hellfire).This person is shown; he is shown a place in Jannah. And hes told this is what was waiting for you if you have obeyed Allah, if you have obeyed the Messenger of Allah, SAW. Then, the fire of Jahannam it enters into his grave. And his grave, it squeezes him, so tight until his ribs began to close up on one another. Then he sees and ugly man with a foul stench and he is coming to him and he sits with him in his grave. And this person says, Who are you? May Allah curse on you! Your face brings evil. And then this man says, I am your evil deeds. I am going to stay with you until Yawmul Qiyamah (The Judgement Day). So not only he is being punished in his grave but he is with this ugly foul stench of a man. Then Allah appoints over him, one who is blind, deaf and dumb, in whose hand an iron rod. Which if he strikes a mountain with it; it will turn the mountain to dust. He strikes him with it until he turns to dust. Then he is restored to his former state and he strikes again. And this man, this dead person, he utters a scream which everything can hear except for mankind and the jinn. He keeps striking him until Yawmul Qiyamah. The Prophet SAW, he said I would make Dua to Allah, to allow you to hear the punishment of the grave. But I fear if you could hear it, you would not bury your dead, So then, fast forward now until Yawmul Qiyamah (The Day of Judgement).

The coming of hellfire. The perimeter (Mahsyar) is secure. There are angels all around us.
