He said, "Associating anything in worship with Allah (swt); magic and witchcraft; killing anyone whose killing Allah (swt) has forbidden, except in the course of justice; consuming ribaa; consuming the wealth of the orphan; running away from the battlefield; and slandering the reputation of innocent, chaste believing women".

"This is a stone which was dropped by Allah from the mouth of Jahannam, and it has landed on the bottom after 70 years of continuous falling ; this was the sound of the falling of the same stone." [Muslim] Walls: The Prophet pbuh said, "Hell Fire is made up of four thick walls, each wall a distance of forty years."(Tirmidhi) Gates: "And verily, Jahannam is the promised place for them all!

Someone asked, "O Allah's Apostle This (ordinary) fire would have been sufficient (to torture the unbelievers)," Allah's Apostle said, "The (Hell) Fire has 69 parts more than the ordinary (worldly) fire, each part is as hot as this (worldly) fire."

Then it will be said: O son of Adam, did you ever see anything good? Did you ever have any pleasure? He will say: No, by Allah, O Lord. Then the most destitute of the people in this world, of those who will enter Paradise, will be brought and dipped once in Paradise, and it will be said to him: O son of Adam, did you ever see anything bad?

The angels will recognise them in Hell, and will know them by the mark of sujood on their foreheads. The Fire will consume all of a man except the mark of sujood which Allah swt has forbidden the Fire to consume. They will be brought forth, having been burned in the Fire, the water of life will be poured on then, and they will grow like seeds left by silt after a flood". (Muslim) Module 1 – Circle 4
