VOLUME 1 / LESSON NO: 5 - ABOUT HELL
Q 1: What is hell?
A. Allah Almighty has created a dreadful place for the chastisement and punishment of infidels, disbelievers, and sinners, which is called "Jahannam" (hell). It has seventy thousand dangerous and horrendous valleys, with each valley having seventy thousand similar horrid dells and pits. These valleys, dells, and pits are infested with innumerable frightful scorpions and serpents.
Q 2: What is in hell?
A. There are varied torments in hell. It is dreadful even to think of the torments therein. In summary, it has the torments of fire, extreme cold, snakes, scorpions, poisonous animals, etc. Its flames continuously rage high and overtake infidels with violent force. The fuel of hell are human beings and stones.
Q 3: How will a sinful believer be absolved?
A. A believer will ultimately be absolved irrespective of his countless sins and admitted into paradise either by the forgiveness of Allah Almighty, or the intercession of His beloved, the chosen Prophet Hazrat Mohammed Mustafa (may Allah's choicest blessings and peace be upon him), or after having served his term of punishment in hell. Paradise is the last and ultimate abode of believers wherein they will live eternally.
Q 4: Is there any absolution for infidels?
A. The major sins of infidelity and polytheism will never be forgiven. Infidels and polytheists will live eternally in hell and face different sorts of torments. They will also be locked in boxes of fire, which will be encased in other fire boxes. Every infidel and polytheist will think that it is the last chastisement, but they will get no relief and keep suffering torment upon torment.
