Imaam Ibn Hazm said in his book Maraatib al-Ijmaa’: “Hell is real; it is an abode of torment that will never cease to exist, and its people will never cease to exist, they will remain there without end.”
Al-Tahhaawi said in his ‘Aqeedah: “Paradise and Hell are two created entities that will never cease to exist or come to an end.”
Al-Tahhaawi said in his ‘Aqeedah: “Paradise and Hell are two created entities that will never cease to exist or come to an end.”
5. Al-Maa'idah - (The Table spread with Food)
Recitation:
[5:37]
English Yusuf Ali: [5:37]
Their wish will be to get out of the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom: their penalty will be one that endures.
43. Az-Zukhruf - (The Gold Adornment)
Recitation:
[43:75]
English Yusuf Ali: [43:75]
Nowise will the (Punishment) be lightened for them, and in despair will they be there overwhelmed.
2. Al-Baqarah - (The Cow)
Recitation:
[2:167]
English Yusuf Ali: [2:167]
And those who followed would say: "If only We had one more chance, We would clear ourselves of them, as they have cleared themselves of us." Thus will Allah show them (The fruits of) their deeds as (nothing but) regrets. Nor will there be a way for them out of the Fire.
7. Al-`Araaf - (The Heights)
Recitation:
[7:40]
English Yusuf Ali: [7:40]
To those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance, no opening will there be of the gates of heaven, nor will they enter the garden, until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle: Such is Our reward for those in sin.
35. Faatir - (The Orignator)
Recitation:
[35:36]
English Yusuf Ali: [35:36]
But those who reject (Allah) - for them will be the Fire of Hell: No term shall be determined for them, so they should die, nor shall its Penalty be lightened for them. Thus do We reward every ungrateful one!
In the Sunnah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Death will come on the Day of Resurrection like a black and white ram, and it will stand between Paradise and Hell. It will be said, ‘O people of Paradise, do you recognize this?’ They will crane their necks and look, and will say, ‘Yes, it is death.’
It will be said, ‘O people of Hell, do you recognize this?’ They will crane their necks and look, and will say, ‘Yes, it is death.’ Then the command will be issued and it will be slaughtered. Then it will be said, ‘O People of Paradise, it is eternal and there is no death. O people of Hell, it is eternal and there is no death.’” Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited the verse (interpretation of the meaning):
19. Maryam - (Mary)
Recitation:
[19:39]
English Yusuf Ali: [19:39]
But warn them of the Day of Distress, when the matter will be determined: for (behold,) they are negligent and they do not believe!
This clear saheeh text leaves no room for doubt concerning this matter, which is that the people of Hell will abide therein forever, and will not die or come out, just as the people of Paradise will abide therein forever.
The commentator of al-Tahhaawiyyah said: “Many reports of the Sunnah indicate that those who said Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah will be brought forth from Hell. The ahaadeeth about intercession clearly indicate that the sinners among the people of Tawheed will be brought forth from Hell and that this applies only to them; if the kuffaar were to be brought forth from it, they would be like the believers, and that contradicts the exclusiveness indicated in the hadeeth.”
With regard to the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
Recitation:
[78:23]
English Yusuf Ali: [78:23]
They will dwell therein for ages.
Recitation:
[78:24]
English Yusuf Ali: [78:24]
Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink,
Recitation:
[78:25]
English Yusuf Ali: [78:25]
Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,
Recitation:
[78:26]
English Yusuf Ali: [78:26]
A fitting recompense (for them).
what is meant, as al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, is “They will stay in the Fire for as long as those ages last, and these ages will never cease. Every time one age ceases, another will come. Huqub means a lifetime or an age, and (the plural) ahqaab means ages. Hiqbah means a year, the plural of which is hiqab. Huqb means eighty years, or it was said that it means more than that, as we shall see, and the plural is ahqaab. The meaning in this verse is that they will abide therein for the ages of the Hereafter, to which there is no end. The verse does not specifically mention the Hereafter (by saying “the ages of the Hereafter”) because it is clear that the context here is speaking of the Hereafter.
35. Faatir - (The Orignator)
Recitation:
[35:37]
English Yusuf Ali: [35:37]
Therein will they cry aloud (for assistance): "Our Lord! Bring us out: we shall work righteousness, not the (deeds) we used to do!" - "Did We not give you long enough life so that he that would should receive admonition? and (moreover) the warner came to you. So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds): for the wrong-doers there is no helper."
Recitation:
[43:77]
English Yusuf Ali: [43:77]
They will cry: "O Malik! would that thy Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Nay, but ye shall abide!"
