Israfil... takes a deep, very deep breath for the first time. Then he presses his lips to the Sur, and that terrible sound, that frightening sound, it begins. First in Makkah Al Mukarramah, then it spreads to Madinah Al Munawarah. It covers Masjid al Nabawi. It reaches Istanbul, shaking Hagia Sophia. In London, Big Ben stops. In New York, skyscrapers shake. In Tokyo, machines break down everywhere, at the same time, in the same second. Stars go out one by one. The sun, that blessed sun, is covered in darkness. The moon splits, as if half is torn away. The universe, the huge universe, becomes one big graveyard. Absolute silence. Absolute darkness. Absolute death. It covers everything.
Only Allah, Allah who is Al Hay, remains. To whom belongs the kingdom today? No one answers. To Allah, who is Al Wahid al Kahar. How long did this fearful silence last? 40 years? 40 days? 40 hours? No one knows, because time has also stopped. Place has also vanished. Only Allah knows the length of this waiting.
The dead have mixed with the earth. Bones have turned into dust. Hair has rotted. Nails are gone. But souls, souls are waiting. They wait in the world of Barzakh. They wait for the great day of judgement. Some suffer the punishment of the grave. Some enjoy the blessing of the grave. But all, all are waiting.
Then, that blessed moment comes. The second command echoes: "Blow the Sur again." Israfil, Israfil takes a deep breath for the second time. But this time, it is different. This time, it is the breath of life. This time, it is the breath of resurrection. The sound spreads everywhere. The earth that cracks loudly. Graves open one by one. Hands rise from inside, then arms, then heads. Bones join together one by one. Flesh sticks to the bones. Hair grows from the heads. Eyes take their place in the sockets. People stand up one by one, covered in dust and soil, confused, naked, afraid, shaking. They ask, "Who woke us from our graves?" Then they remember. They remember that fearful truth. "Woe to us! The prophets were truthful. This is what Al Rahman promised." Yasin 52. Screams everywhere. Screams echo. But now, now it is too late. Fear, terrible fear. The fear rules everywhere.
They look for a place to escape, but there is none. They look for a place to hide, but there is none. Then voices come from far away. Voices of angels. "Come on, line up. Go to the place of Mahshar." People like herds, dragged like sheep, one by one, group by group, walking towards Mahshar. Feet shaking, knees trembling, breath cut, hearts beating fast. They whisper, "Ya Rabbi, ya Rabbi." But prayer is too late now. Too late, because when they had the chance in the world, that time they did not pray. That time they did not remember Allah. Now they remember, but it is too late.
The field of Mahshar, a place as wide as the world, maybe wider. Billions, trillions of people, all together. From Adam Alaihissalam to the last baby ever born. All of them, all here. Crowd, a terrifying crowd. No space to breathe, no space to move. People crushing each other. The sun brought close over their heads, only one mile away. Burning heat, unbearable heat. Sweat flowing without stop. Some, their sweat only at their ankles. These are the ones with few sins. Some, their sweat to their knees. These are the ones with medium sins. Some, their sweat to their waist. These are the ones with many sins. Some, their sweat to their necks. These are the ones with very many sins. Some, their sweat covers their mouths and noses. These are the worst sinners. They drown in sweat, but cannot die, because death does not exist anymore. The torture starts again. 1,000 years pass. Still they stand in Mashar, still sweating, still afraid. 2,000 years pass. 3,000 years pass. 5 thousand years pass. 10,000 years pass. 50,000 years pass. The angels in the rue rise up to Allah in a day the measure of which is 50,000 years. Still they wait, still sweating, still suffering. They cry, "Ya Rabbi, judge us now. This waiting is harder than punishment. Throw us into Jahannam, but end this waiting. We cannot bear it anymore." But Allah, Allah who is just, keeps them waiting. Because in the world, they made His command wait. They delayed Salat. They postponed Tawba. Now they are the ones waiting.
The bringing of Jahannam. At that moment, from far away, very far away, a terrible noise is coming. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. Like 100 thousand earthquakes happening. The sound is getting closer. People cover their ears, but it is useless. The sound shakes their bones, enters their very marrow. And then, from far away, it appears. Jahannam, that terrifying Jahannam, with 70,000 chains, and on each chain, 70 thousand angels dragging it. The day Jahannam is brought forth. Fajr 23. Jahannam, like a living beast, angry, hungry, wild. When it sees people, as it tries to rush faster, it pulls against its chains. The angels hold it with great difficulty. Jahannam roars. It wants to eat the people. As it comes closer to the place of Mahshar, its rage cannot be contained. So tight, so pressured inside, a huge piece breaks away. Billions of tons of fire, like a mountain in size, glowing, blazing fire. It shoots towards the field of Mashar, fast, very fast. In seconds, it will reach people. When they see that fire, they lose their minds, go mad. They run, but where? They try to escape, but how? Wherever they run, the fire is there. Wherever they look, the fire is there. They look for a place to fall down. They throw themselves to the ground, but the fire keeps coming. Only seconds remain. It will burn the whole field of Mahshar. Billions of people will turn to ashes.
At that last second, last breath, from the sky, with light shining, comes Jibril Alaihissalam. In his hand, a small vessel. Inside, a clear liquid. He pours that liquid onto the huge piece of fire. Steam, heavy steam rises. The fire is extinguished instantly. It freezes in the air. It becomes a cold rock. Billions of people, at the same moment, take a deep breath. They survived. But this is the last rescue. People in shock ask, "What was that liquid? How did such a fearful fire die out?" Jibril explains, "That liquid was your tears." "Which tears?" "The tears you shed in the world at night, while praying Salah, from fear of Allah, from love of Him, from regret of your sins, from reading Quran, from hearing the Adhan, from praying for your parents." These pure tears, they put out this fire. They saved you. But only for a short time.
The believers cry with joy. "Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah." But the disbelievers fear even more, because they have no tears. No one will save them now. The time of judgement has come. The waiting is over. One by one, names are called. "Ahmed, son of Muhammad. Fatima, daughter of Aisha. Abdullah, son of Umar. Come." The one whose name is called, with shaking knees, comes before Allah. His heart beats as if it will explode. His breath stops. His eyes wide with fear. Allah gives the book. This is the moment of destiny. The moment life is decided. From the right, from the left, from behind. The one who did good deeds, his book is given to his right hand. With joy, he shouts, "Take, read my book! I was sure I would face my account." The one who did bad deeds, his book is given to his left hand, from behind. He goes mad, crying out, "I wish my book had not been given to me! I wish I had not known my account!" Allah warns, "Do not lie. You cannot hide the truth. Everything is written. Everything is recorded." But people still lie, out of fear, out of hopelessness. "I did not do it, Ya Rab. I did not know, Ya Rab. I am innocent, Ya Rab. It was not mine. I did not notice." Lies, but Allah knows everything. The one who sees everything, the one who hears everything.
And suddenly, people's mouths are sealed. "Today, We will seal their mouths. Their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to what they used to do." Yasin 65. Hands begin to speak. No mouth, but sound comes. "Ya Rab, with this hand, he stole money." "Ya Rab, with this hand, he touched Haram." "Ya Rab, with this hand, he did injustice." Feet give testimony. "Ya Rab, with this foot, he ran to sin." "Ya Rab, with this foot, he went to oppression." "Ya Rab, with this foot, he did not go to the Masjid." Eyes inform. "Ya Rab, with this eye, he looked at Haram." "Ya Rab, with this eye, he watched dirty films." Ears explain. "Ya Rab, with this ear, he listened to Haram." "Ya Rab, with this ear, he listened to gossip." Tongue tells. "Ya Rab, with this tongue, he lied." "Yah Rab, with this tongue, he gossiped." "Yah Rab, with this tongue, he cursed." The person is in shock. His own organs betray him. They will say to their skins, "Why did you testify against us?" They will reply, "Allah, the one who makes everything speak, made us speak too." The truth, the whole truth comes out. Nothing remains hidden. He cannot lie anymore. He cannot deny anymore, because his own body testified. "Allah does not wrong anyone. Allah does not wrong even the weight of an atom." Nisa 40. Every deed will be repaid with justice. A tiny bit of good will find its reward. A tiny bit of evil will find its punishment.
Some servants, Allah forgives by His mercy, by His Grace. He forgives. But most, the great majority, will go to Jahannam. The Prophet said, "From every one thousand children of Adam, 999 will go to Jahannam." Most, the great majority. The account is finished. The destiny is decided. Now it is time for separation. The people of Jahannam are tied with chains. "On that day, you will see the criminals bound in chains." Ibrahim 49. Iron chains on their necks, on their hands, on their feet. Dragged like herds, like sheep, towards Jahannam. They cry, they beg, "Ya Rab, give us one more chance. Ya Rab, send us back to the world. We will fix ourselves. We will be good." But too late, too late. No, they already denied before. Even if they were sent back, they would return to what was forbidden. Enam 28. The angels drag them without mercy. "Harshly. Walk. That is your place."
Right above Jahannam, a bridge is stretched, thin like a hair, sharp like a sword. This is the Sirat. They must cross it. But how? How can they cross such a thin bridge? Imagine standing at the edge of the bridge. Before you even see it, you hear its sound. A deep roaring noise, like the earth breathing in pain. The hot wind striking your face. The smoke and the smell of burnt flesh wrapping your soul. The believers pass with their light. For them, it is like a smooth road. They run across with ease. But the hypocrites remain stuck in the middle. Their light goes out. They are left in darkness. "Oh, you who believe, repent to Allah." On that day, Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. "Their light will run before them and on their right." Tahrim 8. The disbelievers have no light at all. They cannot take a step. They stumble, slip, fall. Most cannot cross the Sirat. They stumble, they slip, they fall. Screams, endless screams. They fall down like a stone falling for 70 years, falling into the mouth of Jahannam, rolling down. Each fall is a scream. Millions of screams, billions of screams. The field of Mahshar is full of screams. Jahannam waits with its mouth open, like a hungry beast, like a giant dragon. It swallows those who fall, one by one. One, two, 10, thousands, millions, billions. It keeps swallowing. It never gets full. Allah asks, "We will say to Jahannam, 'Are you full?'" It will say, "Are there more?" Kaff 30. Still hungry, still not full. It wants more, more people.
When the fallen enter Jahannam, they face a terrible heat. 70 times hotter than the fire of this world. Their skins burn instantly. Then new skin appears. Then burns again. "Whenever their skins are burned, We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment." Nisa 56. The fire of Jahannam is fueled by people and stones. It burns with heat beyond imagination. "Fear the fire prepared for the disbelievers, whose fuel is people and stones." Bakara 24. Thirst, terrible thirst. They ask for water. It is given, but what kind of water? They will be given boiling water to drink that will tear their intestines. They will be given pus to drink. They will try to swallow it, but cannot. Death comes from every side, but they do not die. Beyond this is a harsher punishment. Ibrahim 16. They ask for food. It is given, but what kind of food? Their food will be only thorny plants. Gashia 6. It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Jahannam. Its fruit looks like the heads of devils. Every bite brings pain instead of relief. Even if they do not want to eat it, it is forced on them. The punishment of Jahannam is not only burning heat. There is also zamharir, a cold as painful as fire itself. This unbearable hot and cold shows that Jahannam's torment covers every side.
Now everyone has found their place. The people of Jannah are in Jannah. The people of Jahannam are in Jahannam. The gates closed forever. The destiny decided. Eternity has begun. No return, no return at all. The people of Jahannam will remain there forever, forever. Trillions of years, quadrillions of years, never ending. Jahannam is not only an end, it is also the sharpest face of truth. The word Jahannam means deep pit. The Prophet (SAW) said, "On that day, Jahannam will be brought. It will have 70,000 chains, and with each chain, 70,000 angels will drag it."
The seven gates of Jahannam. Let us go down into the depths of that fearful place. Jahannam is not one single place. It has seven different levels, seven different gates, 7 different punishments. Seven gates bigger than mountains, stacked one below another into the depths. Behind them shines a glow that pours fear into the heart. The guard of these gates steps forward, Malik. Eyes like thunder, a face carved with stern strength. He has never smiled since the day Jahannam was created. Malik has stood unshaken, merciless, guarding his post. "Surely Jahannam has seven gates, and for each gate is a portion of them assigned." Hijrah 43 to 44. Each gate is for different sinners. Each level, a different kind of torment, from the lightest to the most severe. Malik, call upon your Lord to end us. People will cry, but he will answer only with silence.
The first gate, Jahannam. The first gate opens with a moan that shakes the skies. On its door is written, "Jahannam." This place is for the believers, for the Muslims who had faith but lived in neglect. Believers who missed their Salah. Believers who said, "I will pray later." Believers who made lying a habit. Believers who harmed people, treated them badly, and took their rights. Believers who said, "Allah will forgive," but never made tauba. As they enter, they tremble. "Were we not believers? Did we not say the Shahada?" Yes, they did, but they did not live by its duties. The punishment here is temporary. It lasts only as long as their sins. Afterwards, they will go to Jannah. But until that day, they will burn. Every missed salat, a flame. Every lie spoken, a fire. Every sin committed, a punishment.
The Second Gate, Laza. The second gate opens with a wild scream. Laza, the flame that devours. This fire is alive. It thinks, it has a mind. It hunts its prey. It seeks those who mocked Islam. Those who said, "Religion is easy." Those who heard the ayat and laughed. Those who heard the Adhan and ignored it. Those who mocked the Muslims. Laza sees them. It slithers like a snake. It leaps like a lion. It tears flesh from bone. It breaks bones and crushes them, then lets them grow again, because here, pain is an endless cycle. It is a fire that burns away the skin. It calls to man. In Laza, punishment is special. Every sin has its own answer. The one who mocked with his tongue, his tongue burns. The one who mocked with his eyes, his eyes burn. The one who mocked with his ears, his ears burn.
The third gate, Sakar. The third gate opens with a deep silence. Sakar, the fire that burns and destroys. On its door is written, "The selfish." Here, inside, a special punishment. The price of selfishness. Those who saw the hungry and said, "Not my problem." Those who knew the orphan but walked away. Those who saw the poor but turned their eyes. Those who ignored the one asking for help. Those who loved comfort and ignored the pain of others. They will be asked, "What led you into Sakar?" They will answer, "We were not among those who prayed. We did not feed the poor." Mudathir 42 to 44. Sakha pulls them in, takes them inside. Their selfishness becomes fuel for its flames. Now they ask for help, but no one hears. Now they hunger, but no one feeds them. Now they thirst, but no one gives water. The pain they gave to others in the world now returns to them.
The fourth gate, Hutama. The fourth gate opens with a metallic crash. Hutama, the fire that crushes hearts. On its door is written, "The lovers of wealth." Here, inside, gold and silver. But what kind of gold? What kind of silver? Burning, melting, fiery gold and silver prepared for those who loved wealth too much. Those who counted their money again and again. Those who said, "Just a little more, a little more." The rich who mocked the poor. The idol worshippers who bowed to their possessions. "Woe to every scorner and mocker, who collects wealth and counts it, thinking his wealth will make him last forever. No, he will be thrown into Hutama." Their gold becomes chains on their necks. Their silver becomes iron whips. "Hutama crushes them. It is the fire of Allah kindled, which reaches the hearts." Humeze 6 to 7. Hutama does not only burn their bodies. It attacks their hearts. Those greedy hearts, those selfish hearts, those hearts filled with love of wealth. It burns them, melts them away, then revives them again, then burns again. An endless cycle, endless torment.
The fifth gate, Jahim. The fifth gate opens with an angry roar. Jahim, the furnace of flame. On its door is written, "The tyrants." Here, the arrogant tyrants who boasted of their power. The oppressors who crushed the weak. The proud ones who said, "I am the best." The rulers who oppressed their people. The bosses who abused their workers. The husbands who beat their wives. The fathers who harmed their children. Those who thought their thrones stood above the throne of Allah. Proud, arrogant, full of pride. Jahim welcomes them. Their crowns disappear. Their titles are burned away. Their faces are pressed into fire. "For every arrogant tyrant, there is destruction." Ibrahim 15. Their pride melts drop by drop. Their arrogance burns in flames. The fire swallows every title they loved. Bey Pasha, director, president, all burned away. Now there is only one name: the punished servant. Only one title: the people of Jahannam.
The sixth gate, Saeir. The sixth gate opens with a scream of war. Saeir, the angry fire. On its door, it is written, "Those who cause wars." Enter here, the enemies of the prophets. The architects of bloodshed. The ones who spread corruption and chaos. The warmongers. The provocateurs who destroy peace. They did not only reject the truth, they tried to kill it. In Saeir, there is a special torment. Every bone screams. Every breath feels like swallowing glass. They hear the cries of the people they oppressed, echoing inside the flames. At last, their own voices join this painful chorus. When they are thrown into it, they will hear its dreadful roaring as it boils. Surah al Mulk 7. Saeir never rests, never tires. It keeps pushing them, keeps burning them, keeps punishing them without end.
The 7th gate, Hawiyah. The seventh gate opens with a deep groan. Al Hawiyah, the bottomless pit. The deepest, darkest place. A pit with no end. On its door is written, "The hypocrites." Enter here, the most dangerous sinners. Those who say "La ilaha illallah" with their tongues but betray with their hearts. Those who wear the mask of faith but live empty lives. Those who practice double standards. Those who plot behind Muslims, who deceive them, who rejoice thinking they rule the world. "Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the fire, and you will never find for them a helper." Surah Anisa 145. In Hawia, there is a special torment. Masks are torn forever. Lies are exposed. The true faces are revealed. Even the fire shudders, because hypocrisy is the most poisonous lie, the deadliest disease, the greatest betrayal. Those who fall into Hawia keep falling forever, never reaching the bottom, because hypocrisy has no end.
As people are dragged closer to hell, hell throws out huge sparks from afar. Its boiling and roaring can be heard. The Prophet (SAW) once said, "A stone was thrown into hell 70 years ago, and it has only now reached the bottom." 70 years of falling, yet still falling. Such is the depth of hell, a depth the mind cannot imagine. You scream as you fall, but you never reach the end, because some sins are so deep, their punishment is just as deep.
The fire of Jahannam. The fire of Jahannam is not like the fire of this world. The fire of this world is only one part out of 70 of the fire of Jahannam. The fire of Jahannam is 70 times hotter than your fire. That fire, it thinks, it remembers, it rules. It is a fire with a mind, a living fire. It knows every sin. It knows every sinner. For each person, a special punishment. It burns the tongue of the liar. It strikes the chest of the oppressor. It destroys the hand of the thief. It burns the organ of the adulterer. It melts the stomach of the one who drinks alcohol. It tears the intestines of the one who eats riba. Every punishment fits the sin. Perfect justice, no mistake.
The people of Jahannam are always in pain. No rest, no relief, no sleep. Thirst, terrible thirst. They ask for water. It is given, but they will be given boiling water to drink that tears their intestines. Muhammad 15. That water burns them inside. It melts the stomach. It breaks the intestines. Hunger, unbearable hunger. They ask for food. It is given, but their food will be only from the tree of Zakum. It is a tree that grows at the bottom of Jahannam. Its fruits look like the heads of devils. Safat 62 to 65. That fruit explodes in their mouths, burns like poison, boils inside their stomachs. Every bite, torture. Every sip, torment.
The people of Jahannam struggle in despair. They try to escape, to be saved, but there is no escape. There is no salvation. "Whenever they want to get out of it, they will be returned back into it." Hajj 22. They beg Malik, the angel in charge of Jahannam. "O Malik, call upon your Lord to give us an end." Malik answers coldly, without mercy. "Surely you will remain here." Zukhruf 77. They call out to the people of Jannah. They beg for help. "Pour water over us, or give us some of what Allah has given you." The people of Jannah reply, "Allah has made them Haram for the disbelievers." Araf fifty. No help, no hope. They are left in loneliness and despair. Endless time. Trillions of years pass. It is still only the beginning. Quadrillions of years pass. It is still only the beginning. Every moment, an endless moment. Every second, an endless second. Imagine the largest desert in the world, Sahara. Every thousand years, a bird comes. It takes one grain of sand with its beak. When will the Sahara be empty? After billions, trillions of years. Even then, the punishment of Jahannam is still only at its beginning. The people of Jahannam will remain there forever. HUD 107. It will never end. It will never finish. It will never give relief.
The people of Jahannam keep crying tears of regret. "I wish, I wish we had listened. I wish we had prayed Salah. I wish we had made taubah. I wish we had done good deeds. I wish we had remembered Allah." But these "I wish" words are useless now. Regret has no meaning now, because in the world, they had been given a chance. Warnings had been sent. Prophets had come. Books had been revealed. But they did not listen. They did not care. Now it is too late.
Jahanam is not only a place of fire. It is the final result of denial, rebellion, and injustice. In the hereafter, the disbelievers will stay there forever, and the sinful believers will stay there according to their sins. It is not only the body, but also the soul that suffers with endless torment. Here, the punishment is not only fire. It is also regret, helplessness, and the voice of the conscience. The punishment of Jahannam means not only physical pain, but also spiritual collapse. Those who enter it will twist in endless regret. They will realize there is no escape and fall into despair. Humiliation and shame cover them. One of the greatest torments of Jahannam is spiritual humiliation. People will be scolded and belittled forever because of the actions that brought them there.
Jahannam says to its Lord, "Ya Rabbi, a part of me is eating another part." So Allah allows it to breathe twice: one breath in winter, one breath in summer. The hottest heat of summer and the coldest freeze of winter, zamharir, are from these breaths. Ibn Abbas said, "The people of Jahannam will beg for relief from the burning heat. They will be sent a freezing wind, zamharir. This cold is so strong that their bones begin to break. Then they will ask to return to the fire again when they see the heat once more. Their torment becomes worse, and this cycle continues without end."
As the Prophet told us, the people of Jahannam will be made with larger and stronger bodies so they can taste the punishment more intensely. The first three people to enter Jahannam will be brought on the day of judgement. The first among them is a man who had died as a martyr, and he will be called to account before Allah. Allah reminds him of the blessings He gave him. The man remembers and admits that he had received them. Allah asks, "So what did you do in return for these blessings?" The man replies, "I fought in Your path until I was killed as a martyr." Allah says, "You are lying. You fought so that people would say, 'What a brave man,' and they did say it." Then it is commanded, and he is thrown face down into Jahannam.
Then another man is brought forward, one who had learned knowledge, taught it, and recited the Quran. Allah reminds him of the blessings He gave him. The man remembers and admits them. Allah asks, "So what did you do in return for these blessings?" The man replies, "I learned knowledge, I taught it, and I recited the Quran for Your pleasure." Allah says, "You are lying. You learned knowledge so people would say, 'He is an alim.' You recited Quran so people would say, 'What a beautiful recitation,' and they did say it." Then it is commanded, and he too is thrown face down into Jahannam.
After that, a man is brought, one whom Allah had given all kinds of wealth and opportunities. Allah reminds him of His blessings. The man remembers and admits them. Allah asks, "So what did you do in return for these blessings?" The man replies, "I did not withhold from spending in any cause You love. I gave and I spent only to please You." Allah says, "You are lying. You gave so that people would say, 'What a generous man,' and they did say it." Then it is commanded, and he too is thrown face down into Jahannam.
The Messenger of Allah warned his Ummah against the disease of envy, saying, "Beware of Hasad (envy), just as fire eats up wood or grass, envy eats up good deeds." The people of Jahannam are gathered in five groups: those with weak will who do not use their mind to avoid mistakes; they do not strive to build a family, earn wealth, or seek benefit for their religion, their life, or their world. The greedy traitor who hides his dishonesty, whichever door he knocks, he will always betray. The one who deceives you morning and evening about your wealth and family. The miser and liar. The one with bad manners, rude and ugly in speech.
Lying is one of the greatest traits that drags a person into Jahannam. One day, the Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever takes the right of a Muslim with a false oath, Allah Jalla Jalaluhu will make Jannah Haram for him and make Jahanam obligatory for him." The companions asked, "Even if it is something small, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, even if it is just a stick from an arak tree," and he repeated this three times.
The noble Prophet also warned about the fate of lying in the hereafter, saying, "Whoever claims to have seen a dream that he did not see, he will be forced in the hereafter to do something impossible, like tying together two grains of barley, and he will be punished. Whoever makes a picture or statue of a living being will be told on the day of judgement, 'Bring life into it,' but he will never be able to do it, and he will be punished."
The punishment of drinking alcohol in Jahannam. Jabir Radi Allahu Anhu narrated, "A man from the city of Jayshan in Yemen came to the Messenger of Allah and asked him about a drink made from corn in their land called mizir. The Prophet (SAW) asked, 'Does it cause intoxication?' The man replied, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam then said, 'Every intoxicating thing is Haram. Allah has promised that whoever drinks intoxicating drinks will be given to drink in Jahannam from Tina al Habal.' The people asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is Tina al Habal?' The Prophet Sallallahu alayhi Wasallam said, 'It is the sweat of the people of Jahannam, or their blood and pus.'"
In another hadith, the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi Wasallam said, "The fire of Jahannam will reach some up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to their waist, and some up to their collarbones." On the day of judgement, the lightest punishment in Jahannam will be for a person whose feet are placed on two burning coals. From this heat, his brain will boil like a pot, yet he will think that no one in Jahannam is punished more severely than him. In reality, he is the one receiving the lightest punishment.
Katada radi Allahu anhu said, "If a person were put into Jahannam even for just the time of dipping and removing a bucket from water, that short moment would still be an unbearable torment. But the greatest punishment for the people of Jahannam is not the burning of the fire, it is being deprived of seeing Allah's face and His mercy, as the Quran says, 'No, surely on that day they will be veiled from seeing their Lord.'" Mutafifin 15. The disbelievers kept away from seeing Allah will not receive His mercy, and the punishment of Jahannam will surround them forever.
You watched this video until now. You saw these terrifying scenes. You heard these frightening punishments. Now it is time to make a decision. Which side do you want to be on? In Jannah or in Jahannam? This is in your hands. It is your choice. You still have time. You are still breathing. You still have a chance. Your heart is still beating. Your soul is still alive. The door of Tauba is still open. But until when will it close? Tonight? Tomorrow? Next week? No one knows. Only Allah knows. The Sur can be blown at any moment, at any breath, any second. Israfil is still waiting, still waiting for the command. And you? Are you still in heedlessness? Still playing with your life? Still saying, "Later, later, I will pray Salah. Later, I will repent. Later, I will fix myself." But what if later never comes? What if tonight is your last night? Are you ready? Really ready?
Share this video. Share it with your loved ones, because Jahannam is real. Everything told in this video is real. It is written in the Quran. "Oh you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is people and stones. Over it are angels, harsh and strong. They never disobey Allah in what He commands them, and they do what they are commanded." Tahrim 6.
Has the news of that overwhelming disaster reached you? On that day, faces will be humbled in fear and humiliation. They worked only for the world. Now they are empty-handed, tired, and weak. They will enter a blazing fire. They will be given boiling hot water to drink. Their food will be nothing but dry, thorny plants that neither nourish nor remove hunger. Their punishment will be in a fire whose doors are locked tight over them. Gashia Balad.
It is told in the hadith: denying will not save you. Ignoring will not change it. Only preparing will save you. Only Iman will save you. Only righteous deeds will save you. Only turning back to Allah will save you. You still have time, but not forever. Your heart is still beating. You can still repent. You can still pray Salah. Now, right now, raise your hands to the sky and say, "Ya Rab, protect me from Jahannam. Ya Rab, guide me to Hidayah. Ya Rab, let me die upon Iman. Ya Rab, gather me with the righteous." May Allah protect you, us all of us from Jahannam. May He grant us Jannah. Amin.
"Our Lord, save us from the punishment of Jahannam. Its punishment is endless torment. What an evil place to live and dwell." Furqan 65 to 66.
"The door of tawbah is open for My servants until the sun rises from the west. When the sky splits and becomes red like burning oil, it will be a fearful sight, and mighty events will happen." Rahman 37.
"Our Lord, we have seen and heard so return us to the world so we may do righteous deeds. Indeed, now we believe with certainty." If they were sent back, they would still return to what they were forbidden. Surely they are liars. Anam 6:28.
