| HELL The Hashr is the event that takes place on the Day of Resurrection; each person is made to account for his or her deeds and is judged by Allah Almighty; and the Nashr is the transfer of all living creatures from the field of resurrection to either Paradise or Hell. When the Nashr begins, Allah Almighty will deliver all disbelievers to the angels in Hell and will order: ...."Lay hold on him, then put a chain on him, Then cast him into the burning fire" (Haaqqa 30-31) ....The angels of Hell will approach them, tie their hands round their necks, and drag them to Hell; they will begin to cry and shout loudly. But; ....Allah Almighty says: ...."And those who disbelieve shall be driven to hell in companies; until, when they come to it, its doors shall be opened, and the keepers of it shall say to them" ....The angels in Hell will be surprised how human beings, wise and mindful creatures, were deceived by the temporary world and will not be able to help but ask: ...."Did not there come to you messengers from among you reciting to you the communications of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shall say: Yea! But the sentence of punishment was due against the unbelievers." (Zumar, 71) .... "Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie! Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom, And fill (your) bellies with it, Then drink over it of boiling water; And drink as drinks the thirsty camel. This is their entertainment on the day of requital." (Waqia, 51-56) ....Starving for thousands of years in the Field of Resurrection, the disbelievers will rush upon the bitter fruits of the zaqqoom tree and try to take their fill it. When the fruit begins to inflame their stomachs, they will drink boiling water to quench this thirst. This hot liquid will make them even thirstier. It will burn their intestines, causing them to writhe in pain. ....Cry of Disbelievers .... Allah Almighty says: .... "And they shall cry therein for succour: O our Lord ! take us out, we will do good deeds other than those which we used to do. Did We not preserve you alive long enough, so that he who would be mindful in it should mind? And there came to you the warner; therefore taste; because for the unjust, there is no helper." (Fatir, 37) .... Allah Almighty says to those begging to be taken out from Hell: "Did not We grant you a life long enough for one who reflected to reflect therein? Moreover, a Warner came to you." When their plea is denied, they will then ask for the help of the keepers of Hell: ....Allah Almighty says: ...."And those who are in the fire shall say to the keepers of hell: Call upon your Lord that He may lighten to us one day of the punishment." (Mumen, 49) Paradise!" Upon hearing this, the believers whose sins still have not been cleared will regret and say: "If only our sins were less! Then we too would be taken out!" |
