Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Hell: Difference between revisions

{{QuranHadithScholarsIndex}}

The reader of the Qur'an is immediately struck with perhaps its most salient theme: the doom of the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Non-Muslims|unbelievers]] in their eternal abode, the fire, or hell. In hell, as the Qur'an points out over and over, the unbelievers will be subject to eternal torment for all eternity, of different and agonizing types. They will cry out to their Lord for relief, but they will receive in return only more torment. The Qur'an is very explicit about the agonizing, painful nature of this torture. The polytheists are surely doomed to go there, but Jews, Christians, and believers who commit sins against Allah may also be sent there. The hadith also adds in the curious detail that most of the inhabitants of hell are/shall be women.
