Dwellers of the Hell

3:12

Say (O Muhammad Pbuh) to those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated and gathered

together to Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest."

82: 14-16

14. And verily, the Fujjâr (the wicked, disbelievers, sinners and evil-doers) will be in the

blazing Fire (Hell),

15. In which they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,

16. And they (Al-Fujjâr) will not be absent therefrom (i.e. will not go out from the Hell).

74:41-48

41. About Al-Mujrimûn (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers, etc.), (And they will say to

them):

42. "What has caused you to enter Hell?"

43. They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their Salât (prayers)

44. "Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);

45. "And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allâh hated) with vain talkers .

46. "And we used to belie the Day of Recompense

47. "Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."

48. So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.

56:45-51

45. Verily, before that, they indulged in luxury,

46. And were persisting in great sin (joining partners in worship along with Allâh,

committing murders and other crimes, etc.)

47. And they used to say: "When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then

indeed be resurrected?

48. "And also our forefathers?"

49. Say (O Muhammad Pbuh): "(Yes) verily, those of old, and those of later times.

50. "All will surely be gathered together for appointed Meeting of a known Day.

51. "Then moreover, verily, you the erring-ones, the deniers (of Resurrection)!

35:36, 37



36. But those who disbelieve, (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) for them

will be the Fire of Hell. Neither it will have a complete killing effect on them so that they

die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever!

37. Therein they will cry: "Our Lord! Bring us out, we shall do righteous good deeds, not

(the evil deeds) that we used to do." (Allâh will reply): "Did We not give you lives long

enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition, - could receive it? And the warner

came to you. So taste you (the evil of your deeds). For the Zâlimûn (polytheists and

wrongdoers, etc.) there is no helper."

43:74-77

74. Verily, the Mujrimûn (criminals, sinners, disbelievers, etc.) will be in the torment of

Hell to abide therein forever.

75. (The torment) will not be lightened for them, and they will be plunged into

destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair therein.

76. We wronged them not, but they were the Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.).

77. And they will cry: "O Malik (Keeper of Hell)! Let your Lord make an end of us." He will

say: "Verily you shall abide forever."

Description of Hell

78:21-23

21. Truly, Hell is a place of ambush,

22. A dwelling place for the Tâghûn (those who transgress the boundry limits set by

Allâh like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals,

etc.),

23. They will abide therein for ages,

88:2-7

2. Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all

disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.).

3. Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allâh), weary (in the

Hereafter with humility and disgrace) .

4. They will enter in the hot blazing Fire,

5. They will be given to drink from a boiling spring,

6. No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant,

7. Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger.

15:43, 44

43. "And surely, Hell is the promised place for them all.



44. "It (Hell) has seven gates, for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners)

assigned.

52:13-16

13. The Day when they will be pushed down by force to the Fire of Hell, with a horrible,

forceful pushing.

14. This is the Fire which you used to belie.

15. Is this magic, or do you not see?

16. Taste you therein its heat, and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it is all

the same. You are only being requited for what you used to do.

56:41-44

41. And those on the Left Hand Who will be those on the Left Hand?

42. In fierce hot wind and boiling water,

43. And shadow of black smoke,

44. (That shadow) neither cool, nor (even) good,

44:43-50

43. Verily, the tree of Zaqqûm,

44. Will be the food of the sinners,

45. Like boiling oil, it will boil in the bellies,

46. Like the boiling of scalding water.

47. (It will be said) "Seize him and drag him into the midst of blazing Fire,

48. "Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water,

49. "Taste you (this)! Verily, you were (pretending to be) the mighty, the generous!

50. "Verily! This is that whereof you used to doubt!"



What will happen in Hell

78:24-30

24. Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink.

25. Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges.

26. An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes).

27. For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning.

28. But they belied Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and

that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely.

29. And all things We have recorded in a Book.

30. So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except

in torment.

76:4

Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire.

74:26-30

26. I will cast him into Hell-fire

27. And what will make you know exactly what Hell-fire is?

28. It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)!

29. Burning the skins!

30. Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).

4:56

56. Surely! Those who disbelieved in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,

revelations, etc.) We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through,

We shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allâh is

Ever Most Powerful, AllWise.

73:11-13

11. And leave Me Alone to deal with the beliers (those who deny My Verses, etc.), and

those who are in possession of good things of life. And give them respite for a little while.

12. Verily, with Us are fetters (to bind them), and a raging Fire.

13. And a food that chokes, and a painful torment.

18:29



29. And say: "The truth is from your Lord." Then whosoever wills, let him believe, and

whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the Zâlimûn (polytheists

and wrong-doers, etc.), a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them (disbelievers in the

Oneness of Allâh). And if they ask for help (relief, water, etc.) they will be granted water

like boiling oil, that will scald their faces. Terrible the drink, and an evil Murtafaqâ

(dwelling, resting place, etc.)!

25:11-14

11. Nay, they deny the Hour (the Day of Resurrection), and for those who deny the Hour,

We have prepared a flaming Fire (i.e. Hell).

12. When it (Hell) sees them from a far place, they will hear its raging and its roaring.

13. And when they shall be thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they

will exclaim therein for destruction.

14. Exclaim not today for one destruction, but exclaim for many destructions.

67:7-11

7. When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it

blazes forth.

8. It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask:

"Did no warner come to you?"

9. They will say: "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said: 'Allâh

never sent down anything (of revelation), you are only in great error.'"

10. And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have

been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!"

11. Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire.

21:98-100

98. Certainly! You (disbelievers) and that which you are worshipping now besides Allâh,

are (but) fuel for Hell! (Surely), you will enter it.

99. Had these (idols, etc.) been âliha (gods), they would not have entered there (Hell),

and all of them will abide therein.

100. Therein breathing out with deep sighs and roaring will be their portion, and therein

they will hear not.

50:24-26

24. (And it will be said): "Both of you throw (Order from Allâh to the two angels) into Hell,

every stubborn disbeliever (in the Oneness of Allâh, in His Messengers, etc.).



25. "Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter,

26. "Who set up another ilâh (god) with Allâh, then (both of you) cast him in the severe

torment."

52:13-16

13. The Day when they will be pushed down by force to the Fire of Hell, with a horrible,

forceful pushing.

14. This is the Fire which you used to belie.

15. Is this magic, or do you not see?

16. Taste you therein its heat, and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it is all

the same. You are only being requited for what you used to do.

56:52-56

52. "You verily will eat of the trees of Zaqqûm.

53. "Then you will fill your bellies therewith,

54. "And drink boiling water on top of it,

55. "So you will drink (that) like thirsty camels!"

56. That will be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense!

22:19-22

19. These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their

Lord; then as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling

water will be poured down over their heads.

20. With it will melt or vanish away what is within their bellies, as well as (their) skins.

21. And for them are hooked rods of iron (to punish them).

22. Every time they seek to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be driven back

therein, and (it will be) said to them: "Taste the torment of burning!"

23:103-108

103. And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose their

ownselves, in Hell will they abide.

104. The Fire will burn their faces, and therein they will grin, with displaced lips

(disfigured).

105. "Were not My Verses (this Qur'ân) recited to you, and then you used to deny

them?"

106. They will say: "Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring

people.

107. "Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be

Zâlimûn: (polytheists, oppressors, unjust, and wrong-doers, etc.)."

108. He (Allâh) will say: "Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!"



36:63-65

63. This is Hell which you were promised!

64. Burn therein this Day, for that you used to disbelieve.

65. This Day, We shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their

legs will bear witness to what they used to earn. (It is said that one's left thigh will be the

first to bear the witness).

38:55-64

55. This is so! And for the Tâghûn (transgressors, disobedient to Allâh and His Messenger

- disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, criminals, etc.), will be an evil final return (Fire),

56. Hell! Where they will burn, and worst (indeed) is that place to rest!

57. This is so! Then let them taste it, a boiling fluid and dirty wound discharges.

58. And other torments of similar kind, all together!

59. This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall

burn in the Fire!

60. (The followers of the misleaders will say): "Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is

you (misleaders) who brought this upon us (because you misled us in the world), so evil

is this place to stay in!"

61. They will say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment

in the Fire!"

62. And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to

count among the bad ones?"

63. Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive

them?"

64. Verily, that is the very truth, the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!

41:19-24

19. And (remember) the Day that the enemies of Allâh will be gathered to the Fire, so

they will be collected there (the first and the last).

20. Till, when they reach it (Hell-fire), their hearing (ears) and their eyes, and their skins

will testify against them as to what they used to do.

21. And they will say to their skins, "Why do you testify against us?" They will say: "Allâh

has caused us to speak, as He causes all things to speak, and He created you the first

time, and to Him you are made to return."

22. And you have not been hiding against yourselves, lest your ears, and your eyes, and

your skins testify against you, but you thought that Allâh knew not much of what you

were doing.

23. And that thought of yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to

destruction, and you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost!



24. Then, if they have patience, yet the Fire will be a home for them, and if they beg for

to be excused, yet they are not of those who will ever be excused.
