11.Punishment of Hell


Allah will ask the person with the least punishment of hell, suppose you had as much as gold to fill the earth. Would you offer it to ransom yourself? He will say, yes. Allah will tell him, I asked you for something less than that. You were asked for less than that – to join none in worship with Allah, but you refused. Many people in the world are willing to give up their religion for a few dollars, never mind a whole earth full of gold! This hadith is in Bukhaari.

Nu’man narrated: I heard the Prophet saying, “The person who will have the least punishment from amongst the Hell Fire people on the Day of Resurrection, will be a man under whose arch of the feet a smoldering ember will be placed so that his brain will boil because of it.” [Bukhaari, 8/76/566]

Also, as we previously mentioned, there is the punishment of Abu Taalib, in which the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said that the fire would reach Abu Taalib’s ankles, but it would cause his brains to boil.

The most punishment of hell will be for the hypocrites. “Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for them.” (4:145)
