A 15th century Persian depiction of Muhammad, Gabriel and Buraq watching as a demon tortures women. The demon is hanging them up by hooks through their breasts and burning them for eternity. Muhammad said that the majority of people in Hell will be women because they are ungrateful and harsh towards their husbands.[1]

Jahannam (جهنم) is the Arabic language equivalent to Hell. The term comes from the Hebrew 'Gehinnom'.

The Reason for Being

There are nearly 500 verses (roughly one out of every twelve) in the Qur'an which speak of Hell. It was specifically created and prepared with eternal fire by Allah, so that he could torture disbelievers.[2] In fact, disbelievers are the fuel of Allah's fire.[3] Hell is the means of Allah's punishment by which he punishes those of his servants whom he wishes.[4] Punishment varies according to a person's deeds.[5][6] Hell has seven gates for seven classes of sinners,[7] and angels are appointed as hell's overseers.[8][9] The torture will be so terrible that people will plead for destruction.[10]

List of Tortures

  1. Eternity in blazing fire[11]
  2. Hung by the breasts[12]
  3. Bound in yokes[13] and chains[10]
  4. Garments of liquid pitch[14] and fire[15]
  5. Faces covered in fire[14] and lips burnt off[16]
  6. Beat with maces of iron[15]
  7. Fed painful, noxious, choking foods which will leave them hungry and boil their insides[13][17][18][19]
  8. Boiling water[20] poured over one's head and used to scald the skin and internal organs[15]
  9. Extremely hot, and extremely cold, filthy fluids of pus and blood[21]
  10. Hot stones placed on the nipple that will burn through to the shoulder bone[22]
  11. Dragged by the face through boiling water and fire[23][24]
  12. Burning embers beneath the arches of the feet[25] or shoes of fire[26] that will cause one's brain to boil.
  13. Intestines will come out[27]
  14. Exchangeable skins so that people can be roasted over and over again[28]

Muslims can go to Hell

...When Allah would finish judging His bondsmen and because of His mercy decide to take out of Hell such people as He pleases. He would command the angels to bring out those who had not associated anything with Allah; to whom Allah decided to show mercy. those who would say: There is no god but Allah. They (the angels) would recognise them in the Fire by the marks of prostration, for Hell-fire will devour everything (limb) of the sons of Adam except the marks of prostration. Allah has forbidden the fire to consume the marks of prostration. They will be taken out of the Fire having been burnt, and the water of life would be poured over them, and they will sprout as seed does In the silt carried by flood...
Sahih Muslim 1:349

Muhammad's Parents are in Hell

The belief that Muhammad's parents are in Hell is an accepted mainstream Islamic belief[54][55] that many Muslims are unaware of.

Abu Huraira reported: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) visited the grave of his mother and he wept, and moved others around him to tears, and said: I sought permission from my Lord to beg forgiveness for her but it was not granted to me, and I sought permission to visit her grave and it was granted to me. So visit the graves, for that makes you mindful of death.
Sahih Muslim 4:2130
Anas reported: Verily, a person said: Messenger of Allah, where is my father? He said: (He) is in the Fire. When he turned away, he (the Holy Prophet) called him and said: Verily my father and your father are in the Fire.
Sahih Muslim 1:398

Muhammad's Supporter and Uncle is in Hell

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab from his father: When the time of the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah's Apostle went to him and found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. Allah's Apostle said to Abu Talib, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, a sentence with which I shall be a witness (i.e. argue) for you before Allah. Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said, "O Abu Talib! Are you going to denounce the religion of Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Apostle kept on inviting Abu Talib to say it (i.e. 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah') while they (Abu Jahl and Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement till Abu Talib said as his last statement that he was on the religion of Abdul Muttalib and refused to say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' (Then Allah's Apostle said, "I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the fire (9.113).
Sahih Bukhari 2:23:442

Muhammad in Hell?

Since Muhammad was guilty of murder and transgressing of limits then it looks like Dante Alighieri was right and Muhammad will probably spend some time in hell, as well.

Why It Makes Allah a Sadist

A sadist is someone who derives pleasure from causing pain to others.[56][57][58] If Allah is omniscient (all-knowing) as he claims to be,[59] then that means Allah always knew which humans would fail his tests and end up in hell. The only possible reason any omniscient, omnipotent deity would physically torture human beings for all eternity is because he enjoys it. Since hell's occupants will never be able to repent and end the torture by mending their ways,[60][61][62][63] then hell's only purpose is to torture. Since the torture is not being used for any constructive purpose (like teaching a lesson since the victims will never be given a chance to apply the lesson), the only logical explanation for it would be that Allah wants to torture humans. Indeed, Allah even makes clear that he had the option of 'giving every soul its guidance' but would prefer to 'fill Hell with jinns and men'.[64]
