Assalamu a'leykum brothers and sisters,
Lets take a minute to remember the reality of the hell-fire,
'Soon will I cast him into Hellfire! And what will explain to you what Hellfire is? Naught does it permit to endure, and naught does it leave alone, Darkening and changing the colour of man!' (74-26-29)
Some of the Salaf said concerning the phrase, "naught does it leave alone" that it meant, "it eats bones and flesh and brains and does not leave anything untouched" (Ibn Rajab, at-Takhweef min an-Naar, p.146)
Allaah (swt) says, 'By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into that which Breaks to Pieces. And what will explain to you what that which Breaks to Pieces is? [It is] the Fire of the [wrath of] Allaah, kindled [to a blaze], that which mourns [right] to the hearts'. (104:4-6)
Muhammad ibn Kab al-Qurtubee said, "The Fire eats into him until it reaches his heart, then his body will be created anew. It was reported that when Thaabit al-Bananee read this aayah, he said, "The Fire will burn them until it reaches their hearts, while they are still alive; this is how great their suffering is!" Then he wept." (at-Takhweef min an-Naar, p.146)
So we should all learn about the reality of naar, and lets ask Allah to save us from it.
and i hope this book benefits you,
