"Hell is a place where sinners are boiled in cauldrons";

“Hell is covered with ice…”;

“Hell is a country of yellow springs, where the base part of the soul resides”;

Today we will talk about why people go to Hell.

IN different religions understanding of hell is different. In “good and peaceful” Buddhism, there are eight of them in general, and each in the center is red-hot, and around the perimeter is icy. But all religions agree on one thing - this place is extremely unpleasant and you should not get there.

But how not to get there - options are also possible here.

In “militant” Islam, going to hell and getting out is not a question at all. Those who commit a sin will certainly be thrown into torment: in Islam, this is fire, and sinners will burn. How long the torment will last, only Allah himself knows, no one else, even the most high-ranking and respected figures of the church, “have no access” to information about the verdicts.

But sinners themselves need not worry.

Those who have committed good deeds along with sins will come out of hell through the intercession of those who are allowed to intercede for them.

Those who managed not to commit a single good deed ... will also come out - by the infinite mercy of Allah.

You can just envy!

Although in Christianity envy is one of surest ways fall into hell. Moreover, not in purgatory, from where you can still get out, even after centuries of torment. Namely, to hell, from where there is no way out.

"A sentence that knows no exception"

"... Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate" translated from Italian - "Abandon hope, everyone who enters here." The inscription above the gates of hell in the "Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri, written 700 years ago, and still frightening impressionable people. Still would…

"Naked souls, weak and light,

Heeding the verdict that knows no exception,

Chattering teeth, pale with longing

Shouted curses to the Lord…”

In the Catholic version of Christianity, there are seven deadly sins: pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony and laziness. That is, according to this "report card" you can go to hell for an extra piece of cake at dinner or for a bed not made in the morning ... Cool, no?

But a funny conclusion follows from this: sins have different “weights” and there is a certain “divine price list”, where each deed has its own price tag.

You can get acquainted with it in the same "Divine Comedy", where it is quite complete. Dante was not too lazy and clearly painted: who, where, at what address, for what torment and for what sin. According to this classification, those possessed by passion are condemned to the “lightest” torments. The heavy ones are for the traitors. Those who betray trust are the worst in hell.

And, meanwhile, in the "perfect code" it is said that the punishment for any sin, small or large, is one - death (does this mean that those who have not sinned either in deed, or inaction, or even in thought will live forever?).

Why turn off the Divine light

Orthodoxy, at the same time, is both softer and stricter. “Fiery Gehenna” is not a place for people at all, it is intended for “spirits that have fallen and rooted in evil.”

But for us humans, there is only health and disease of the soul. And the Orthodox hell itself is not something material, like an unoiled frying pan for a sinner, but simply and terribly: the death of the soul. When you think about it, it becomes clear why the question sounds so strange: “How to save a soul that has fallen into hell?” No way. It's like trying to resurrect a dead person. "She died, so she died."

Why turn off the Divine light? Obviously not for having eaten a cutlet in fasting.

The list of sins is the same, but the unforgivable sin (guaranteed and definitively killing the soul) is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. “The sentence that knows no exception” is imposed only for this - for the fact that you opposed yourself to God. Like Satan and Company.

But what needs to be done (or rather, of course, it is not necessary) to finally and irrevocably quarrel with God like this? Start a war? Create a sect? Sell ​​drugs? Or is everything simpler, and enough, as 9 out of 10 priests teach, to simply not go to church and “believe at home”?

What is dangerous "home temple"?

“If you don’t go to church and listen to the priest, then who will teach you how to believe in God? You will begin to decide for yourself what is sin and what is not. And you will definitely make a mistake, because the devil is crafty and will find a loophole in a person’s heart.”

It is not for nothing that among the sins that need repentance and forgiveness in Orthodoxy there are: “condemnation of priests, rare visits to the temple, non-observance of fasts, violation of church and prayer rules.”

“A man is weak and tempted, a sheep needs a shepherd…”

It's hard to argue with that. Yes, weak.

But who is stopping us from becoming stronger? "Who can teach you to believe in God correctly?" And he himself? Why can't? Doesn't He speak to each of us, isn't He in our heart? Why don't we hear Him? Or do we not understand? Or do we misunderstand? Why do we need interpreters?

How to throw away the key to hell's door

The ancient Slavs of the most terrible of " dark gods” considered Krivda. That is a lie.

Quite strange and even wild from a position modern man who lies as he breathes and does not consider a lie not only a sin, but even some kind of serious offense.

“Come on, if you don’t lie, you won’t live.”

Why did our distant ancestors think otherwise, and considered a lie a misdemeanor worse than murder?

Because before you do something, you ALLOW yourself to do it yourself. In the shower. “He already has a lot of everything” - before stealing. “I have no other choice” - before betraying, changing. “There is nothing wrong with this,” you say to yourself and allow you to do evil.

Lies are the key that opens the doors of hell. It begins the decay and death of the soul.

Do not lie to yourself ... At least to yourself - and this door will never open.

So simple. And so difficult.

1. Who will go to Hell forever?

The permanent inhabitants of the Underworld will not leave it and disappear. These will be unbelievers and polytheists. The Almighty said:

“And those who consider Our verses false and exalt themselves over them, will become the inhabitants of the Fire and will remain there forever” (Al-A'raf, 36);

“If they were gods, they would not have entered there. But they will all remain there forever” (Al-Anbiya, 99);

“Indeed, sinners will forever be tormented in Gehenna” (Az-Zuhruf, 74);

“And for those who disbelieve, the fire of Gehenna is prepared. They will not be finished with so that they can die, and their torment will not be eased ”(Fatir, 36);

“And those who disbelieve and consider Our signs false, they will be the inhabitants of the Fire. They will remain there forever” (Al-Baqarah, 39);

“Verily, on those who disbelieved and died disbelievers, lies the curse of Allah, angels and people - all. This will last forever. Their torment will not be relieved, and they will not receive a reprieve” (Al-Baqarah, 161-162);

“Did they not know that whoever shows enmity towards Allah and His Messenger, the fire of Gehenna is prepared forever? This is a great disgrace” (At-Tauba, 63);

“The polytheists are not supposed to revive the mosques of Allah, testifying to their own unbelief. Their deeds are in vain, and they will abide forever in the Fire ”(At-Tawba, 17).

Since the sinners will remain there forever, Allah called their torment eternal, i.e. endless, never ending

“They will want to get out of the Fire, but they won't be able to get out. They are destined for eternal torment” (Al-Maida, 37);

“Then it will be said to those who acted unjustly: “Taste eternal torment! Are you not rewarded only for what you did?” (Yunus, 52).

In Sahih al-Bukhari there is a hadith of Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet r said:

]يَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ مُؤَذِّنٌ بَيْنَهُمْ : يَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ لا مَوْتَ ، وَيَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ لا مَوْتَ خُلُودٌ [

“The inhabitants of Paradise will enter Paradise, and the inhabitants of Fire will enter the Fire, and then the herald will stand between them and say: “Inhabitants of Paradise, there will be no death - there will be eternity! Inhabitants of the Fire, there will be no death - there will be eternity!”

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

]يُقَالُ لأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ : يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ خُلُودٌ لا مَوْتَ ، وَلأهْلِ النَّارِ يَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ خُلُودٌ لا مَوْتَ [

“The inhabitants of Paradise will be told: “Inhabitants of Paradise, there will be eternity - there will be no death!” And the inhabitants of the Fire will be told: “The inhabitants of the Fire, there will be eternity - there will be no death!”

As noted in the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar narrated by al-Bukhari, this will happen after death has been slaughtered. It reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

]إِذَا صَارَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ إِلَى النَّارِ، جِيءَ بِالْمَوْتِ حَتَّى يُجْعَلَ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ ثُمَّ يُذْبَحُ ، ثُمَّ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ : يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ لا مَوْتَ ، وَيَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ لا مَوْتَ ، فَيَزْدَادُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ فَرَحًا إِلَى فَرَحِهِمْ ، وَيَزْدَادُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ حُزْنًا إِلَى حُزْنِهِمْ [

“After the inhabitants of Paradise enter Paradise and the inhabitants of Fire enter Fire, death will be brought and placed between Paradise and Fire. Then they will slaughter her, and then the herald will call: “Inhabitants of Paradise, there will be no death! Dwellers of the Fire, there will be no death!” And then the rejoicing of the inhabitants of Paradise will increase, and the sorrow of the inhabitants of Fire will increase.

In the Sahih of Muslim, Abu Sa'id reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

]يُجَاءُ بِالْمَوْتِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُ كَبْشٌ أَمْلَحُ ، فَيُوقَفُ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ ، فَيُقَالُ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ : هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا ؟ فَيَشْرَئِبُّونَ وَيَنْظُرُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ : نَعَمْ هَذَا الْمَوْتُ — قَالَ : وَيُقَالُ: يَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا ؟- قَالَ : فَيَشْرَئِبُّونَ وَيَنْظُرُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ : نَعَمْ هَذَا الْمَوْتُ — قَالَ : فَيُؤْمَرُ بِهِ فَيُذْبَحُ . قَالَ : ثُمَّ يُقَالُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ خُلُودٌ فَلا مَوْتَ ، وَيَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ خُلُودٌ فَلا مَوْتَ — قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :

“On the day of resurrection they will bring death. She will be in the form of a white ram and will be placed between Paradise and Fire. Then they will ask: “Inhabitants of Paradise, will you recognize this?” They will stretch their necks and, when they see her, they will say: “Yes, this is death.” And then they will say: “Dwellers of the Fire, do you recognize this?” They will stretch their necks and say, "Yes, this is death." Then it will be ordered to slaughter her, and they will slaughter her, after which they will say: “Inhabitants of Paradise, there will be eternity - there will be no death! Inhabitants of the Fire, there will be eternity - there will be no death. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) read: “Warn them about the Day of Sorrow, when the decision has already been made. But they show carelessness and do not believe” (Maryam, 39).

At-Tirmidhi reported from the words of Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

]إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أُتِـيَ بِالْمَوْتِ كَالْكَبْشِ الأَمْلَحِ ، فَيُوقَفُ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ فَيُذْبَحُ وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ ، فَلَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدًا مَاتَ فَرَحًا لَمَاتَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدًا مَاتَ حُزْنًا لَمَاتَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ[

“When the day of resurrection comes, death will be brought, and it will be in the form of a white ram. She will be placed between Paradise and Fire, and then slaughtered in front of their inhabitants. If it were possible to die of joy, then this would happen to the inhabitants of Paradise, and if it were possible to die of sorrow, then this would happen to the inhabitants of Fire. At-Tirmidhi called it good and reliable.

2. Hell - the abode of unbelievers and polytheists

Since the unbelievers who associate partners with Allah will go to Hell forever, it is considered their abode and refuge. And Paradise is considered the abode of believers:

“Fire will be their home. How filthy is the abode of the unjust!” (Al ‘Imran, 151);

“Their refuge will be the Fire for what they have acquired” (Yunus, 8);

“Will not Gehenna be the abode of the disbelievers?” (Al-‘Ankabut, 68).

Hell will take them:

“Your dwelling place will be the Fire that suits you best” (Al-Hadid, 15). This is a bad place, a bad place to be:

“Enough of Gehenna! How bad is this bed! (Al-Baqara, 206);

“Verily, for those who have transgressed [the boundaries of what is permitted], a bad place of return has been prepared - Gehenna, in which they will burn. How bad is this bed! (Sad, 55-56).

3. Callers to Hell

Followers of false views and misguided opinions, who oppose the Sharia of Allah, as well as preachers who believe in their erroneous views, call to Hell:

"They call to the Fire" (Al-Baqarah, 221);

"We made them leaders who call into the Fire"

(Al-Kasas, 41).

One of them is Satan:

"What if it's Satan calling them to torment in the Flame?" (Lukman, 21);

"He calls his party to become inhabitants of the Flame"

(Fatir, 6).

Those who call to Hell in this world, Last life they will lead their peoples and their followers there. An example is the Pharaoh:

"On the day of resurrection Pharaoh He will lead his people and lead them into the Fire” (Hood 98).

Every leader who propagates wrong beliefs and principles contrary to Islam is one of those who call to Hell, because faith is the only way to be saved from it and go to Paradise:

"O my people! Why do I call you to salvation, and you call me to the Fire? (Gafir, 41). They urged him to take the path of the Pharaoh, agreeing with his unbelief and the association of partners with Allah. He called them to believe in Allah and not associate partners with Him. And since disbelievers call to Hell, Allah forbade believing men to marry pagans, and believing women to marry pagans:

“Do not marry Gentiles until they believe. Of course, a believing slave is better than a pagan, even if you liked her. Do not give [Muslim women] in marriage to pagans until they believe. Of course, a believing slave is better than a pagan, even if you like him. They call to the Fire, and Allah calls to Paradise and forgiveness with His permission. He explains to people His signs, so that perhaps they will remember the edification” (Al-Baqarah, 221).

4. The gravest of the crimes committed by the permanent inhabitants of Hell

The Qur'an explains in detail the crimes that doom a person to eternal suffering in the Fire. We will only mention the most important of them.

1. Unbelief and association of partners with Allah. The Almighty and Most High Lord told that when the unbelievers go to Hell, they will be told: “Because of your unbelief, Allah hates you more than you hate yourself.” Then He explained that it was unbelief and the association of partners with Him that caused their eternal stay there:

“Indeed, the disbelievers will be called: “The hatred of Allah towards you when you were called to faith, and you did not believe, was stronger than your hatred of yourself.” They will say: “Our Lord! By Your will, twice we were dead, and twice You revived us. We confessed our sins. Is there a way out?" This is because when you invoked Allah alone, you did not believe. If partners were added to Him, you believed. The decision is made only by Allah, the Exalted, the Great ”(Ghafir, 10).

Allah Almighty and Almighty told that when sinners are brought to Hell, its guards will ask them:

“Did not your messengers come to you with clear signs?” (Gafir, 50). In response, they will say:

“Of course, a warning warner came to us, but we considered him a liar and said: “Allah did not send down anything, and you are only in great error” (Al-Mulk, 9).

Of those who consider the Qur'an a lie, it is said:

“We have already given you a Reminder. Whoever turns away from it (the Qur'an) will bear a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection. They will remain in this [state] forever. Filth will be their burden on the day of resurrection!”

(Ta ha, 99-101).

Of those who reject the Qur'an and associate partners with Allah, it is said:

“They considered the Scripture and that with which We sent Our messengers a lie. But they will know when, with chains around their necks and in chains, they are dragged into boiling water, and then kindled in the Fire. Then they will be told: “Where are those whom you associate with Allah?” They will say: “They hid from us. And we didn’t pray to anyone before.” This is how Allah deceives the disbelievers. This is for you because you rejoiced on earth without any right and exalted yourself. Enter the gates of Gehenna and stay there forever. How filthy is the abode of the proud!” (Ghafir, 70-76).

Of unbelieving pagans who equate their idols with the Lord of the worlds, it is said:

“They will be thrown there along with the erring ones, as well as with all the soldiers of Iblis. Arguing there, they will say: “By Allah, we were in obvious error when we equated you with the Lord of the worlds” ”(Ash-Shu'ara, 94-98).

Of those who say that the day of resurrection is a lie, it is said:

“But they consider the Hour a lie, and for those who consider the Hour a lie, We have prepared a Flame” (Al-Furqan, 11);

“If you wonder, then wonder at their words: “After we become dust, will we be reborn in a new creation?” They are those who did not believe in their Lord. They are those who have chains around their necks. They are the inhabitants of the Fire, who will abide in it forever” (Ar-Ra‘d, 5);

“Gehenna will be their resting place. As soon as it subsides, We add flame to them. This is their retribution for not believing in Our signs and saying: “After we turn into dust and particles, will we be resurrected in a new creation?” (Al-Isra, 97-98).

2. Failure to comply with religious prescriptions and the denial of the Day of Retribution. The All-good and Most High Lord told that the inhabitants of Paradise will ask the martyrs of Hell:

"What brings you to Hell?" (Al-Muddassir, 42). In response they will say:

“We were not among those who prayed. We didn't feed the poor. We plunged into verbiage along with those who were sinking. We considered the Last Day a lie until conviction (death) came to us” (Al-Muddassir, 43-47).

3. Obedience to deceived rulers and leaders of disbelief in those deeds that, being a manifestation of disbelief, keep people from the religion of Allah and following the path of the prophets. The Almighty said about such sinners:

“We appointed comrades to them, who presented them with a beautiful present and future, and the Word came true regarding them and regarding the peoples who lived before them from among the jinn and people. Indeed, they were the losers. The unbelievers said: “Don't listen to this Qur'an, but start talking nonsense (i.e. refute it in any way or make noise while reading it). Perhaps you will prevail." We will certainly let the unbelievers taste the hardest torment and repay them for the worst of what they have done. This is the reward for the enemies of Allah! Fire! It will be their eternal abode in retribution for the fact that they rejected Our signs ”(Fussilat, 25-28).

When the unbelievers go to Hell and their faces are distorted, they will regret that they did not obey Allah and His Messenger, but obeyed their elders and rulers:

“Indeed, Allah has cursed the unbelievers and prepared for them a Flame in which they will live forever. They will not find either a patron or a helper. On that day, their faces will turn (or change) in the Fire and they will say: “It would be better if we obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!” They will say: “Our Lord! We obeyed our elders and our nobles, and they led us astray” (Al-Ahzab, 64-67).

4. Hypocrisy. Allah promised to cast the hypocrites into Hell and will not change His promise:

“To the hypocrites, the hypocrites and the disbelievers, Allah has promised the fire of Gehenna, in which they will abide forever. Enough of that! Allah has cursed them, and eternal torment is prepared for them ”(At-Tawba, 68). He told that the hypocrites will be on the lowest and hottest level of Hell, receiving the most terrible torment:

“Verily, the hypocrites will find themselves on the lowest rung of the Fire” (An-Nisa, 145).

5. Arrogance: This quality is inherent in most of the inhabitants of Hell. The Almighty said:

“And those who consider Our verses false and exalt themselves over them, will become the inhabitants of the Fire and will remain there forever” (Al-A'raf, 36).

Muslim called one of the chapters of his "Sahih" the chapter "That despotic people will go to Hell, and the weak will go to Paradise." It contains a hadith about the quarrel between Paradise and Hell, as well as what Allah said to them. Abu Hurairah narrated from the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that Hell said: “Those who are tyrannical and arrogant will enter me.” One of the versions says: "They gave me those who are tyrannical and arrogant." Allah will say:

] أَنْتِ عَذَابِى أُعَذِّبُ بِكِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِى [

"You are My punishment, which I inflict on any of My servants whom I wish."

In the Sahihs of al-Bukhari and Muslim, as well as in the Sunan of at-Tirmidhi, the hadith of Harithah bin Wahb was narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ؟كُلُّ ضَعِيفٍ مُتَضَعِّفٍ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ ، ألاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ النَّارِ ؟ كُلُّ عُتُلٍّ جَوَّاظٍ مُسْتَكْبِرٍ [

“Shall I tell you about the inhabitants of Paradise? This is everyone who is weak and oppressed. If he swears in the name of Allah, then He will make his oath true. Why don't I tell you about the inhabitants of the Fire? This is everyone cruel, stingy and arrogant. Muslim's version says:

] كُلُّ عُتُلٍّ جَوَّاظٍ مُسْتَكْبِرٍ [

"Every stingy and arrogant impostor".

This is confirmed by the words of the Almighty and Almighty Allah:

“Is not Gehenna the home of the proud?” (Az-Zumar, 60);

“Today your reward will be humiliating torment for the fact that you were exalted on earth without any right” (Al-Ahkaf, 20);

“He who transgressed [the boundaries of what is permitted] and gave preference to worldly life, Hell will be a haven” (An-Nazi‘at, 37-39).

5. Some of the sins that lead to Hell

Once Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah was asked: "What deeds do the inhabitants of Paradise perform, and what deeds do the inhabitants of Hell perform?" He replied:

The deeds of the inhabitants of Hell are the association of partners with Allah Almighty; accusing the messengers of lying and unbelief; envy and lies; betrayal and injustice; debauchery and perfidy; severing kinship ties and avoiding jihad out of cowardice; stinginess and duplicity; despair in the mercy of Allah and the absence of fear of His punishment; anxiety in time of trouble, pride and arrogance in joy; refusal to carry out the orders of Allah and violation of His restrictions and prohibitions; fear of creatures, not the Creator; window dressing and vanity; deviation from the Qur'an and Sunnah in the soul and in practice; submission to creatures in what the Creator forbade, and blind devotion to lies; mocking the verses of Allah and denying the truth; concealment of knowledge and evidence that must be made public; witchcraft and disobedience to parents; killing a person whom Allah forbade to kill without having the right to do so; devouring the property of an orphan and usury; flight from the battlefield and slander on chaste believing women who do not even think about sin.

The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also listed the sins that lead to Hell. Muslim's Sahih relates the story of 'Iyad bin Himar about a long sermon delivered by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. In it, in particular, it says:

] وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ خَمْسَةٌ : الضَّعِيفُ الَّذِي لا زَبْرَ لَهُ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِيكُمْ تَبَعًا لا يَبْتَغُونَ أَهْلاً وَلا مَالاً ، وَالْخَائِنُ الَّذِي لا يَخْفَى لَهُ طَمَعٌ وَإِنْ دَقَّ إِلاَّ خَانَهُ ، وَرَجُلٌ لا يُصْبِحُ وَلا يُمْسِي إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يُخَادِعُكَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ . وَذَكَرَ الْبُخْلَ أَوْ الْكَذِبَ ، وَالشِّنْظِيرُ الْفَحَّاشُ [

“Five will be the inhabitants of the Fire: a weak man, devoid of prudence; one who follows [everything indiscriminately], not caring about his family and his property; one who betrays trust as soon as he has the slightest desire; and the one who every morning and every evening tries to defraud your wife and your property.” He also mentioned avarice or lying, as well as immorality.

6. Specific persons who will go to Hell

Unbelievers and pagans will surely go to Hell. However, in the Holy Quran and the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), specific persons who will be there are also mentioned. One of them will be the Pharaoh, who refused to believe in Musa:

"On the day of resurrection Pharaoh will lead his people and lead them into the Fire” (Hood, 98). Among them will be the wives of the prophets Nuh and Lut:

“Allah gave as an example of the disbelievers the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut. Both were married to servants from among Our righteous servants. They betrayed their husbands and they did not save them from Allah. They were told: “Enter the Fire together with those who enter [there]”” (At-Tahrim, 10). Among them will be Abu Lahab with his wife:

“May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, and he himself perish. His wealth did not save him and what he acquired (position in society and children). He will fall into the fiery Fire. His wife will carry firewood, and around her neck will be a braided rope of palm fibers ”(Al-Masad, 1-5).

Among them will also be 'Amr bin 'Amir al-Khuza'i. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw him dragging his intestines in Hell. It is known that the one who killed ‘Ammar and took away his weapon will also go to Hell. At-Tabarani in Mu'jam narrated through an authentic isnad that 'Amr bin al-'As and his son narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

[ قاتِلُ عَمَّارٍ وسالِبُهُ في النَّارِ ]

"Whoever kills 'Ammar and takes his weapons will fall into the Fire."

7. Unbelieving jinn will go to Hell

Not only unbelieving people will go to Hell, but also unbelieving jinn. Like humans, they are responsible for their actions:

“I created jinn and people only so that they worship Me” (Az-Zariyyat, 56).

On the day of resurrection, jinn, like people, will be resurrected:

“On that day He will gather them together: “O concourse of jinn! You have misled many people” (Al-An'am, 128);

“I swear by your Lord, We will certainly gather them and the devils, and then we will bring them to their knees around Gehenna. Then We will bring out from each community the one who disobeyed the Merciful more than others. It is better for us to know who is more appropriate to burn there ”(Maryam, 68-70).

Then it will be said to the disbelieving ones:

“Enter the Fire together with the peoples from among the jinn and the people who lived before you” (Al-A‘raf, 38). That's when they will be thrown into Hell:

"They will be thrown there along with the erring ones, as well as all the soldiers of Iblis" (Ash-Shu'ara, 94-95). Thus, the promise of Allah that Hell will be filled with unbelieving jinn and people will be fulfilled:

“The word of your Lord will be fulfilled:“I will certainly fill Gehenna with jinn and people - all together”» (Hood, 119).

“And the Word came true concerning them and concerning the peoples who lived before them from among the jinn and people” (Fussilat, 25).

Temporary Inhabitants of Hell

1. Who will go to Hell for a while?

Monotheists who did not associate partners with Allah, but committed many sins that outweighed their good deeds, will go to Hell, but after some time they will leave it. How long they will stay there is known only to the Almighty and Almighty Allah. Some of them will come out of the Fire thanks to the intercession of those who will be allowed to intercede for others, and those who have not done a single good deed, Allah will bring them out of there by His mercy.

2. Sins for which you can go to Hell

We will name only some of the sins that, according to sacred texts, doom a person to torment.

1. Adherence to currents that are contrary to the Sunnah. Abu Dawood, ad-Darimi, Ahmad, al-Hakim and others reported from the words of Mu'awiya bin Abu Sufyan: “Listen! One day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood before us and said:

] أَلاَ إِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ افْتَرَقُوا عَلَى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً ، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمِلَّةَ سَتَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى ثَلاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ ، ثِنْتَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ فِي النَّارِ وَوَاحِدَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَهِيَ الْجَمَاعَةُ [

“Listen! Verily, the people of the Scripture who were before you were divided into seventy-two groups, and, verily, this community will be divided into seventy-three groups. Of these, seventy-two will fall into Fire, and one into Paradise, and these are those who keep together [on the straight path].”

This hadeeth is authentic. Al-Hakim, listing several ways of its transmission, said: “These chains of narrators are sufficient evidence of the authenticity of the hadith,” and al-Dhahabi agreed with this. Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "This is a well-known authentic hadith." Ash-Shatibi called it authentic in I'tisam. Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani, after listing the various ways in which it was transmitted, criticized some of them and explained that, in general, its authenticity is not in doubt.

Siddique Hasan Khan believed that the words "all of them will perish except one" or "seventy-two of them will fall into the Fire" are unreliable. In support of his words, he cited the opinions of the ulema, who considered this hadith weak, including his teacher ash-Shaukani, his predecessors (for example, Ibn al-Wazir) and even earlier scholars (for example, Ibn Hazm). In conclusion, he agreed that "this additive is one of the intrigues of the atheists, because it scares away from Islam and conversion".

Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani gave two arguments to refute this view.

First, critical Scientific research the hadeeth testifies to the reliability of this addition, and claims of its weakness are of no significance.

Secondly, there were many theologians who recognized its authenticity, and they possessed greater knowledge than Ibn Hazm, especially since his penchant for harsh criticism is well known to scientists. And if his opinion is not recognized as a weighty argument even when it coincides with the opinions of other scientists, what can be said about those cases when it contradicts them?!

As for Ibn al-Wazir, he rejected this addition not because of flaws in the isnads, but because of its meaning. Siddique Hassan Khan explained in his book Yakza uli-l-i'tibar that these words imply that only a few of the Muslims will go to Paradise, while reliable texts indicate that a great number of the followers of Muhammad will go there, may God bless Allah hails him. Moreover, this community will make up half of the inhabitants of Paradise.

In refutation of this judgment, the following can be said.

First, the division of the community into seventy-three groups does not mean that most of it will go to Hell, because most Muslims are little aware of such divisions and do not belong to these groups. Those who knowingly entered into a sect contrary to the Sunnah and entrenched in error are few compared to those who shun all such groups.

Secondly, not everyone who disagrees with the Sunnah on any issue is considered to be against the Sunnah. The followers of the erring groups are those who are guided by principles that distinguish them into a separate trend, and, relying on these principles, reject many texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah. These include, for example, the Kharijites, the Mutazilites and the Rafidites. If Muslims adhere to the Qur'an and the Sunnah, do not deviate from them, but disagree on this or that issue, then they are not ranked among the misguided groups.

Thirdly, from the above addition it follows that these groups will go to Hell, but this does not mean that they will remain there forever.

It is clear that among the followers of these groups there are non-believers, and they will enter Hell forever. This can be attributed to the extreme Batinites (Ismailis, Druze, Nusayris, etc.), who consider themselves believers, but are atheists.

Among them there are those who do not agree with the adherents of the Sunnah in serious matters, but do not fall into atheism. They do not belong to those to whom Paradise is promised, and their fate depends on the will of Allah: if He wishes, He will forgive them, and if not, He will subject them to torment. Perhaps they will have great righteous deeds behind them that will save them from Hell. Perhaps they will be saved from there through intercession. It is possible that they will go to Hell and stay there for as long as Allah wills, and then come out of there thanks to the intercession or by His mercy.

2. Refusal to perform hijrah. Muslims are forbidden to live among unbelievers if they have the opportunity to migrate to a Muslim country, especially if they are tempted in the country of unbelievers. Allah does not accept the excuses of those who delay the hijrah, and the Qur'an reports that angels reproach such people at the moment of their parting with life, and the excuse that they were weak in this world will not help them:

“To those whom the angels slay, doing injustice to themselves, they will say: “In what position were you?” They will say, "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They will say: “Was not the land of Allah wide enough for you to live in it.” Gehenna will be their abode. How bad is this place of arrival! This does not apply only to those weak men, women and children who cannot contrive and do not find the right path ”(An-Nisa, 97-98). Thus, Allah will accept the excuses of only those who were really oppressed and did not have the opportunity to leave the country of the unbelievers, i.e. did not find a way to move to the Muslims.

3. Adoption of unjust laws. Allah sent down the Shariah so that people act impartially, and ordered His servants to observe justice:

“Indeed, Allah commands to observe justice, to do good…” (An-Nahl, 90). He ordered rulers and judges to pass just sentences without oppressing the people:

“Indeed, Allah orders you to return the property entrusted to its owners and judge with justice when you judge among people” (An-Nisa, 58).

Allah has threatened punishment in Hell for those who do not judge with justice. Bureyda bin al-Husayb reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

] الْقُضَاةُ ثَلاثَةٌ : وَاحِدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَاثْنَانِ فِي النَّارِ ، فَأَمَّا الَّذِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَقَضَى بِهِ ، وَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَجَارَ فِي الْحُكْمِ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ ، وَرَجُلٌ قَضَى لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى جَهْلٍ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ [

“Judges are of three types: one of them will go to Paradise, and two will go to Fire. The one who knew the truth and made a decision in accordance with it will go to Paradise. The one who knew the truth and made an unjust decision will fall into the Fire, and the one who made the decision without knowing the truth will also fall into the Fire. Narrated by Abu Dawud.

4. A slander against the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. In one of the chapters of the large collection of Ibn al-Athir "Jami' al-usul" there are many hadiths that warn against slandering the Messenger, may Allah bless him and welcome him. So, al-Bukhari, Muslim and at-Tirmidhi reported from the words of ‘Ali bin Abu Talib that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] لا تَكْذِبُوا عَلَيَّ ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَكْذِبْ عَلَيَّ يَلِجْ النَّارَ [

"Do not lie on my behalf, for whoever lies on my behalf will enter the Fire."

Al-Bukhari reported from the words of Salama bin al-Akwa' that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

[ مَنْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ ]

"Whoever tells in my name what I have not said, he will take his place in the Fire."

Al-Bukhari in Sahih, and also Abu Dawud in Sunan reported the story of ‘Abdullah bin al-Zubair from the words of his father az-Zubair bin al-‘Awwam that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, said:

] مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ [

"Whoever knowingly lied on my behalf, let him take his place in the Fire."

Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from the words of al-Mughira bin Shu'ba that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] إِنَّ كَذِبًا عَلَيَّ لَيْسَ كَكَذِبٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ ، مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ [

“Slandering me is not the same as slandering someone else, and whoever knowingly lies on my behalf will take his place in the Fire.”

5. Arrogance is another one of grave sins. Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي ، وَالْعَظَمَةُ إِزَارِي ، فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمَا أَدْخَلْتُهُ النَّارَ [

“Allah Almighty said: “Pride is My cloak, and greatness is My izar, and I will throw into the Fire whoever tries to take them from Me.” One of the versions says: "... and I will give a taste of the Fire to those who try to take them away from Me." Narrated by Muslim.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : ] لا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ [ . قَالَ رَجُلٌ : إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ثَوْبُهُ حَسَنًا وَنَعْلُهُ حَسَنَةً ، قَالَ : ] إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ ، الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ [

It is reported from the words of Ibn Masud that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “The one who has even a grain of arrogance in his heart will not enter Paradise.” A man asked: “What if a person likes to wear beautiful clothes and shoes?” He said: “Indeed, Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is an arrogant denial of the truth and neglect of people. Narrated by Muslim.

6. Killing someone whose life was inviolable. The Almighty said:

“If someone kills a believer intentionally, then his retribution will be Gehenna, in which he will remain forever. Allah will be angry with him, curse him and prepare great torments for him” (An-Nisa, 93).

The religion of Allah allows killing Muslims in three cases. Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from the words of Ibn Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] لا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ بِإِحْدَى ثَلاثٍ : النَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ ، وَالثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي ، وَالْمَارِقُ مِنْ الدِّينِ التَّارِكُ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ [

“Shedding the blood of a Muslim who testifies that there is no deity but Allah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah, is allowed only in three cases: if he killed a person, if he married and committed adultery, and if he renounced the faith by breaking away from the community."

In Sahih al-Bukhari, Ibn ‘Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] لَنْ يَزَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي فُسْحَةٍ مِنْ دِينِهِ مَا لَمْ يُصِبْ دَمًا حَرَامًا [

"A believer will not be constrained in his religion until he sheds the forbidden blood." Ibn ‘Umar said: “Verily, one of those difficult situations from which there is no way out is the shedding of forbidden blood.”

The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned Muslims against fighting each other, for in such cases both the murderer and the slain fall into Hell. Abu Bakra reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

] إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ[. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ ، فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ ؟ قَالَ : ] إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَرِيصًا عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِ [

"If two Muslims stand face to face with a sword in their hands, then both the murderer and the slain will fall into the Fire." He was asked: “Messenger of Allah, with the murderer [everything is clear]. Why does the dead person get there? He said: "Because he sought to kill his opponent."

That is why the righteous servant of Allah refused to fight with his brother, fearing to be among the inhabitants of Hell, and his killer suffered, along with his sins, the sins of his brother:

“Read them the true story of the two sons of Adam. Here they both made a sacrifice, and it was accepted from one of them and was not accepted from the other. He said, "I will certainly kill you." He replied: “Indeed, Allah only accepts from the pious. If you stretch out your hand to kill me, I still won't reach out to kill you. Verily, I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I want you to come back with my sin and your sin and be among the people of the Fire. This is the recompense of the unjust” (Al-Maida, 27-29).

7. Devouring growth is another of the sins that destroy a person. Allah, explaining the categorical prohibition on devouring interest, said about those who do this:

“And whoever returns to this, they will become the inhabitants of the Fire, in which they will remain forever” (Al-Baqarah, 275);

“O you who believe! Do not devour the interest multiplied and fear Allah, so that you may succeed. Fear the Fire which is prepared for the unbelievers” (Al ‘Imran, 130-131). In a hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet r named usury as one of the seven evil deeds.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : ] اجْتَنِبُوا السَّبْعَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ[ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا هُنَّ ؟ قَالَ:] الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ ، وَالسِّحْرُ ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ ، وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا ، وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ ، وَالتَّوَلِّي يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ ، وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْغَافِلاتِ [

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Avoid the seven deadly sins!” He was asked: “What are these sins, Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Associating partners with Allah, witchcraft, killing the one whom Allah forbade to kill, if there is no right to do so, devouring growth, devouring the property of an orphan, fleeing on the day of the offensive and slandering chaste believing women who do not even think [of sin] ".

8. Eating someone else's property illegally is one of the greatest atrocities that dooms a person to torment in Hell. The Almighty said:

“O you who believe! Do not devour your property among yourselves illegally, but only by trading with your mutual consent. Do not kill yourselves (each other), for Allah is merciful to you. We will burn in the Fire the one who does this out of his hostility and injustice. It is easy for Allah” (An-Nisa, 29-30).

One form of acquiring someone else's property illegally is devouring the property of an orphan. Allah has especially noted the property of orphans because of its availability, the helplessness of its owners, and the heinousness of this crime:

“Indeed, those who unjustly devour the property of orphans fill their stomachs with Fire and will burn in the Flame” (An-Nisa, 10).

9. Create images. The most painful suffering on the day of resurrection is reserved for those who create images similar to God's creations. In the Sahihs of al-Bukhari and Muslim, the hadith of ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud was narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُصَوِّرُونَ [

“On the Day of Resurrection, those who created images will be subjected to the most terrible torment with Allah.”

Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from the words of Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] كُلُّ مُصَوِّرٍ فِي النَّارِ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ صُورَةٍ صَوَّرَهَا نَفْسًا فَتُعَذِّبُهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ [

“Everyone who created images will fall into the Fire. Each of the images he created will come to life and begin to torment him in Gehenna.

They also reported from the words of ‘Aisha that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saw the pillow on which the images were, said:

] إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُعَذَّبُونَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ : أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ [

“Indeed, the creators of these images will be punished on the day of resurrection. They will be told: “Bring to life what you have created.”

They also reported from the words of ‘Aisha that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

] أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يُضَاهُونَ بِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ [

"The most terrible torments will be those who created the likeness of the creations of Allah."

They also reported from the words of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذَهَبَ يَخْلُقُ كَخَلْقِي، فَلْيَخْلُقُوا ذَرَّةً، أَوْ لِيَخْلُقُوا حَبَّةً أَوْ شَعِيرَةً [

“Allah Almighty said: “Who can be more unjust than those who are going to create something similar to My creations?! Let them create a grain! Let them create a grain of wheat or a grain of barley!”

10. Indulgence to unjust people. One of the reasons for going to Hell is to support unjust sinners from among the enemies of Allah and warm friendship with them:

“Do not bow down to [the side] of the unjust, lest the Fire touch you” (Hood, 113).

11. Women wearing clothes that do not completely cover the body, and flogging people. Another group of those who will go to Hell are wicked women who tempt slaves and disobey Allah, exposing individual parts of the body. Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

] صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمْ أَرَهُمَا : قَوْمٌ مَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ كَأَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا النَّاسَ ، وَنِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مُمِيلاتٌ مَائِلاتٌ رُءُوسُهُنَّ كَأَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْمَائِلَةِ ، لاَ يَدْخُلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَا ، وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَيُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا [

“I still haven’t seen two types of infernal martyrs. These are people who hold whips in their hands that look like cow tails and beat others with them, as well as dressed, but at the same time naked women who lean to the side and call others to it, and their heads are like swaying camel humps. . They will not enter Paradise and will not even smell its fragrance, despite the fact that it will be felt at such and such a distance. Narrated by Muslim, al-Bayhaqi and Ahmad.

Describing people with lashes similar to cow tails, al-Kurtubi wrote: “We still have this kind of lashes in the Maghreb.” Siddique Hasan Khan added to al-Qurtubi's words: “Moreover, they can be found anywhere and at any time. Their number is growing day by day among emirs and noble persons. We pray to Allah to save us from everything that is hateful to Him. I can add that today in many countries you can see how people with whips whip others. Woe to them and their kind!

Nowadays, you can meet a lot of women who dress in such a way that they look naked. Obviously, this temptation has never before been so widespread. They may well be described as the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did: “… dressed, but at the same time naked women who lean to the side and call others to it, and their heads are like swaying camel humps.”

12. Causing suffering to animals. Muslim narrated in his Sahih the hadeeth of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

] عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ لَهَا رَبَطَتْهَا ، فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ [

“Fire was shown to me, and I saw in it an Israelite who was tormented because of her cat. She tied her up and didn't feed her. She didn't even let her eat the insects on the ground."

If such a fate awaits those who caused suffering to a cat, what will befall those who excel in causing suffering to the slaves of Allah? And what will happen to those who torment the righteous only because they believed and converted to Islam?!

13. The attainment of knowledge is not for the sake of Allah. Hafiz al-Munziri cited a number of hadiths that warn against acquiring knowledge not for the sake of Allah, and we will mention some of them. Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ عِلْمًا مِمَّا يُبْتَغَى بِهِ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، لا يَتَعَلَّمُهُ إِلاَّ لِيُصِيبَ بِهِ عَرَضًا مِنْ الدُّنْيَا ، لَمْ يَجِدْ عَرْفَ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ [

“Whoever has studied the knowledge that is customary to study out of striving for the face of Almighty Allah, but did it only in order to gain worldly goods through them, he will not even feel the fragrance of Paradise on the day of resurrection.” Abu Dawud, Ibn Maja and Ibn Hibban reported this hadeeth in their Sahih. Al-Hakim also called it reliable according to the requirements of al-Bukhari and Muslim.

Jabir reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

] لا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَلا لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ ، وَلا تَخَيَّرُوا بِهِ الْمَجَالِسَ ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَالنَّارُ النَّارُ [

"Do not acquire knowledge in order to be proud of it before scientists, to argue with fools, or to prefer one assembly over another, and if anyone does so, then Fire, Fire [will become his abode]." Narrated by Ibn Maja, Ibn Hibban in the Sahih and al-Bayhaqi.

Ibn ‘Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ عِلْمًا لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ ، أَوْ أَرَادَ بِهِ غَيْرَ اللَّهِ ، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ [

“Whoever acquires knowledge not for the sake of Allah, he will take his place in the Fire.” The hadeeth was narrated by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maja, and both narrated it from the words of Khalid bin Dureik, who, however, did not hear the hadeeth directly from Ibn ‘Umar. At the same time, the narrators of both versions are trustworthy.

14. Drinking from gold and silver vessels. Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported from the words of Umm Salama that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] الَّذِي يَشْرَبُ فِي آنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ إِنَّمَا يُجَرْجِرُ فِي بَطْنِهِ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ [

"In the stomach of one who drinks from a golden and silver vessel, hellish flames seethe." The Muslim version says: “Indeed, in the belly of the one who drinks and eats from a silver and golden vessel…”

Hudhaifah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

] لا تَلْبَسُوا الْحَرِيرَ وَلا الدِّيبَاجَ ، وَلا تَشْرَبُوا فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَلا تَأْكُلُوا فِي صِحَافِهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَنَا فِي الآخِرَةِ [

“Do not wear silk and brocade, do not drink from gold and silver vessels and do not eat from such dishes, because they are for them (i.e. for unbelievers) in this life, and for you in the next.” Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

15. Cutting down the lotus, in the shade of which people are hiding. Abu Dawud reported from the words of ‘Abdullah bin Hubaysh that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً صَوَّبَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ فِي النَّارِ [

“Whoever cuts down a lotus, Allah will send him head down into the Fire.”

Al-Bayhaqi narrated the story of ‘Aisha through a reliable isnad that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

] إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَقْطَعُونَ السِّدْرَ يَصُبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ فِى النَّارِ صَبًّا [

“Indeed, those who cut down the lotus, Allah will throw into the Fire head down.”

16. Suicide. In the Sahihs of al-Bukhari and Muslim, Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

] مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِحَدِيدَةٍ ؛ فَحَدِيدَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ يَتَوَجَّأُ بِهَا فِي بَطْنِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا ، وَمَنْ شَرِبَ سَمًّا فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ ؛ فَهُوَ يَتَحَسَّاهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا ، وَمَنْ تَرَدَّى مِنْ جَبَلٍ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ ؛ فَهُوَ يَتَرَدَّى فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا [

“Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron will forever remain in hellfire with a piece of iron in his hands, piercing his stomach. Whoever drinks poison and poisons himself will forever be in hellfire, drinking poison in sips. And whoever kills himself by throwing himself from a cliff, he will forever be in hellfire, throwing himself down from a cliff.

It was narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari that Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

[ الَّذِي يَخْنُقُ نَفْسَهُ يَخْنُقُهَا فِي النَّارِ ، وَالَّذِي يَطْعُنُهَا يَطْعُنُهَا فِي النَّارِ ]

“Whoever strangles himself will choke himself in the Fire, and whoever stabs himself will slaughter himself in the Fire.”

Ibid (11/415).

According to al-A'rabi, the word أملح "amlakh" means "white". According to al-Kisai, it means "white with black spots." This judgment was favored by Ibn al-Athir. See: An-nihaya fi gharib al-hadith. Dar al fikr. T. 4. S. 354. - Approx. translator.

It means that if such a person swears in the name of Allah that some event will happen or not, then Allah will make his oath true. Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from the words of Anas that his paternal aunt ar-Rubayi ‘bint al-Nadr broke the front tooth of a young girl. Her relatives asked the relatives of the victim to forgive her, but they refused. Then they offered them financial compensation, but they refused the money and went to the Messenger of Allah r demanding revenge for the broken tooth. He ordered retribution. Anas bin an-Nadr said: “O Messenger of Allah! Will they break the tooth of ar-Rubaiya'? I swear by the One who sent you with the truth, her tooth will not break!” The Messenger of Allah r said: “O Anas! Allah has decreed retribution." Then the relatives of the girl forgave the guilty one, and then the Messenger of Allah r said: “Indeed, among the slaves of Allah there are those whose oaths Allah will certainly fulfill when they swear by Him.” See: Ibn Hajar A.

First, he migrated to Ethiopia, and then to Medina, took part in the battle of Badr and other important historical events. The Messenger of Allah r said to him: “O ‘Ammar! The wrong side will kill you." This prediction came true during the Battle of Siffin, which took place in 36 AH. between the supporters of ‘Ali bin Abu Talib and Mu’awiya bin Abu Sufyan.

The word الجماعة "jama'a" means "group", "association", "community". The followers of the Sunnah are considered adherents of a single community - the Jamaat, since they united around the Koran and the Sunnah. Ibn Abu al-‘Izz wrote: “The united community is the companions and those who faithfully follow their path until the Day of Judgment. Following them is the right guidance, and deviating from it is a delusion.<…>How beautiful are the words of ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud: “If any of you wants to take an example from anyone, let him take an example from those who have already died, because the living can still fall into temptation. These were the companions of Muhammad r, and they were the best in this community. Their hearts were the purest, their knowledge the deepest, and they burdened others the least. Allah chose them to accompany His Prophet and establish His religion. Recognize their superiority and follow in their footsteps, and as far as possible hold on to their manners and religion, for they were on a straight path.” See: Sharh al-‘aqida at-tahawiyya.

Hell is an artificially created world, a place of punishment in which sinful people fall after death. Hell is needed for educational purposes, so that civilization lives in love and kindness, since the fear of the torments of Hell is stronger than pride, thirst for revenge, greed and any other vice.

Hell is below ground level, in the semi-material world. This world is of a different density than ours, so they can exist simultaneously in one place and not influence each other in any way. Hell is located within the planet, underground, because it is not as big as Paradise, which is located in the outer space of our solar system and besides, in Hell, the role of demons is played by another highly developed civilization that lives in underground cities and is hostile to people.

«
The tall white aliens did not want to mutilate their souls by becoming tormentors in hell, they made it possible for the underground civilization to vent their anger in this way, for which it is like entertainment. They hate people because they are created "in the image and likeness" of their creators, because of which they are forced to live underground and hide their existence.

Avoiding Hell is impossible if you deserve it. Some will think “I didn’t know about this, I didn’t sign up for this”, but it will be too late. It is possible to be saved from Hell only during earthly life. Asking for forgiveness or returning what was stolen is much easier than paying for it in Hell. All people are sinners, some to a small extent, and some to a greater extent.

HOW TO AVOID HELL?

To start from scratch, you need to ask the Creators for forgiveness for all the bad deeds from childhood to the present, you need to remember and sincerely regret it. Forgive those who are offended, since carrying evil in the heart is also a sin.

Of course, you won’t be able to remember everything, and perhaps not everyone will be able to sincerely repent. Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, it is better to ask for forgiveness from the one to whom he personally harmed or correct the consequences of his bad deeds. If there is no such possibility, and a person hardly remembers his sins, then during earthly life you can always compensate for this. good deeds. For example: raise your children well, help those in need, give good advice, come up with something useful. Any of your actions that have benefited other people goes to the piggy bank. If a person boasts about his good deeds, then the “good deed” is not counted.

A "good deed" should be a human initiative, not a job and not taken for granted.

And of course, after repenting for your sins, you should live right, control your actions, words, thoughts, get rid of bad habits. Of course, many questions arise: “What is considered a sin and what is not?” . Here you can think for yourself what is good and what is bad, or read the Teachings of Jesus, the Bible, the Holy Testament.

Believing fanatics will not escape Hell if they do bad deeds. Faith, prayers, going to church, keeping church holidays do not give them privileges over unbelievers. You can repent anywhere, not defiantly, for this it is not necessary to go to church. Praying is also useless. You can’t fix anything with prayer and you won’t help yourself, but the Angel is already watching you and hearing all your thoughts. The main thing is to just be a good person!

DESCRIPTION OF HELL

“... The body looked like my real ones, only a little different. The demons were tearing at my flesh, but when they did, no blood came out of my body, there was no liquid, but I felt pain. I remember that they picked me up and threw me against the wall, and after that, all my bones kind of broke. And when I was going through this, I thought that I should die now, I should die after all these injuries and from this heat. I wondered how it was that I was still alive.
There was also the smell of sulfur and burning flesh. At that time, I had not yet seen anyone who would burn in my presence, but I knew this smell, it was the familiar smell of burning flesh and sulfur.
The demons that I saw there and that tormented me, they were about 12-13 feet tall, about four meters, and in their appearance they looked like reptile reptiles. Their strength was about a thousand times greater than the strength of an ordinary person, so the person who was there could not fight them and resist them ... "

“... An angel came up and took my arm. Then we began to fall down at a very high speed. As we fell, it got hotter and hotter. When we stopped, I opened my eyes and saw that I was standing on a high road. I began to look around and saw people tormented by demons. There was a girl there, she suffered a lot, the demon mocked her. This demon cut off her head and stabbed her everywhere with his spear. It didn't matter to him where, in the eyes, in the body, in the legs, in the hands. Then he put the head back on the body and continued to prick it. She sobbed with cries of agony. Her body was dying and rebuilding again, endless agony of death. Then I saw another demon, this demon was tormenting young man 21-23 years old. This man had a chain around his neck. He was standing near the fire pit. The demon stabbed him with his long spear. Then he grabbed him by the hair and with the help of a chain threw the guy into a pit with fire. After that, the demon pulled him out of the fire and continued to stab him with a spear. It went on and on and on…”

Hell. lake of fire

“... I saw a lake of fire. The fiery sulfur lake stretched before me as far as the eye could see. Large fiery waves, were like sea waves during a strong storm. People were lifted high on the crests of the waves and then promptly thrown down into the depths of the terrible fiery inferno. Once on the crest of the fiery waves for a moment, they let out heart-rending cries. This vast underworld resounded again and again with the lamentations of abandoned souls…”

What sins go to hell? Satan or the devil is in all religions. According to the Vedas, this is a real person acting in a subtle body, that is, in the space of the mind.

In Islam, for example, he is called Iblis or Shaitan. The descriptions and meaning of its existence are similar. This is a proud strong angel who fell from heaven and takes revenge by leading believers astray.

In order to successfully bypass him, you need to remember and completely exclude from your life at least 4 of his favorite fields of activity:

1. Intoxication (alcohol, drugs)

2. Gambling (also various dark money transactions based on greed)

3. Debauchery

4. Killing animals and the like (meat-eating, violence ..)

What kind of people go to hell

What kind of people go to hell? The name of the fallen angel is interpreted as a "contradiction". He is the most terrible and ruthless enemy of mankind. The Lord commanded the angels to love and protect. This was not to the liking of Satan. The rebellious angel rebelled against the will of his Creator, because he considered that God loves insignificant people more than him.

At the command of the Lord, Satan and the legions of his minions were cast into hell (Tartarus) by an army of bright angels led by the Archangel Michael. The fallen angels who have followed Satan hate and despise the human race without exception. Therefore, anyone who has contacted the satanic forces must know and remember that he is initially doomed to loss and eternal torment.

The image of Satan was initially ambiguous. IN Old Testament Satan is presented as an almost equal opponent of God. He is not yet so hostile to humans. Satan constantly tests a person for honesty, kindness, mercy and zeal in serving the Lord. God and the archangels of the upper heaven could only slightly limit the evil influence and desires of Satan.

For sins go to hell

In the New Testament, everything changes dramatically. Satan becomes the absolute embodiment of Evil and loses his former power. From now on, he is only an inevitable opposition to good and, contrary to his desires, is obliged to obey God. If he could rise up again, he would certainly take advantage of this chance.

For sins they go to hell. However, Satan is unable to do this and the only way he can harm is to tempt, lead astray and destroy God's creations. Christianity and practical magic are unanimous on the issue of Satan - this is the destroyer, executioner and jailer for sinful souls, the leader of the demons of all circles of hell and all kinds of evil spirits.

Most often, Satan is associated with a serpent (in the 3rd century, the Christian philosopher Origen proved their close connection with each other). Since then, the serpent has been considered either an instrument of Satan or one of his disguises.

In Islam, Satan is known as al-Shaitan, he is an evil and insidious demon. The main purpose of al-Shaitan is to tempt the faithful. This demon generates the basest and worst desires in people. He stirs up greed and indulges lust, leads people astray and pushes them towards Evil.

How can you go to hell?

How can you go to hell? For Christians, Muslims, and Jews, Satan is associated with sex and unbridled lust. According to legend, he endows witches with irresistible sex appeal and is personally present at their sabbats in the form of a giant goat.

The image of Satan has long attracted and inspired artists, writers, poets and composers. In their works, he is often endowed with justice and honesty, as well as an attractive or seductive appearance. You have to pay for this with illnesses of the soul and body, troubles and misfortunes - both your own and those close to you. Satanic obsessions: mental illness, drunkenness, drug addiction, crime, suicide.

Satan is also identified with the Devil, which is translated from Greek as “slanderer”. In many beliefs, Satan and the Devil are different evil spirits that both control the Underworld, but it is almost impossible to distinguish between their functions (besides, the Devil, as a fallen angel, is not mentioned anywhere, and perhaps this is a hellish nickname for Satan).

The devil tempts a person constantly, always and everywhere, pushes him to crimes and lures him into his networks. Knowledgeable and experienced magicians are very afraid of the Devil, try not to anger him, and sometimes even put a candle on him. By the way, earlier icon painters first depicted the Devil, then primed the canvas, and only then painted on top of the face of a saint or saint.

An end to the mockery of Satan (Devil) over the human race will put the onset of the Kingdom of God. In the meantime ... Do not let him into your soul, do not indulge in bad intentions and live your life calmly and with dignity.
