"Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell."
Hell in the Quran
37:56
He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
|
37:57
And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth
(to doom). |
If you're not favored by Allah, you're doomed.
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
a painful doom
|
37:58
Are we then not to die
|
37:59
Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished ? |
|
37:60
Lo! this is the supreme triumph. |
|
37:61
For the like of this, then, let the workers work. |
|
37:62
Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum ? |
(37:62-68)
"And afterward ... a drink of boiling water"
Those in hell must eat from a tree with the heads of devils, and then drink boiling
water. After that they return to hell.
Hell in the Quran
|
37:63
Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
|
37:64
Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
|
37:65
Its crop is as it were the heads of devils |
|
37:66
And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith. |
|
37:67
And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water |
|
37:68
And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell. |
|
37:69
They indeed found their fathers astray, |
|
37:70
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps. |
|
37:71
And verily most of the men of old went astray before them, |
|
37:72
And verily We sent among them warners. |
|
37:73
Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned, |
|
37:74
Save single-minded slaves of Allah. |
|
37:75
And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his
prayer |
Did one of Noah's sons die in the flood?
|
37:76
And We saved him and his household from the great distress, |
|
37:77
And made his seed the survivors, |
|
37:78
And left for him among the later folk (the salutation): |
|
37:79
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples! |
|
37:80
Lo! thus do We reward the good. |
|
37:81
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. |
|
37:82
Then We did drown the others. |
Allah drowned everyone except Noah and his family in the flood.
|
37:83
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham |
|
37:84
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart; |
|
37:85
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship ? |
|
37:86
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire ? |
|
37:87
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds ? |
|
37:88
And he glanced a glance at the stars |
|
37:89
Then said: Lo! I feel sick! |
|
37:90
And they turned their backs and went away from him. |
|
37:91
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat ? |
|
37:92
What aileth you that ye speak not ? |
|
37:93
Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand. |
|
37:94
And (his people) came toward him, hastening. |
|
37:95
He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve |
|
37:96
When Allah hath created you and what ye make ? |
|
37:97
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire. |
|
37:98
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost. |
|
37:99
And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me. |
|
37:100
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous. |
|
37:101
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son. |
|
37:102
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son,
I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father!
Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast. |
(37:102) "When (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son,
I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded.
Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast."
When Abraham's son, Ishmael, was old enough to walk, Allah told Abraham in a dream to sacrifice Ishmael. So Abraham asked Ishmael if it'd be OK with him, and Ishmael said, "Sure thing, Dad,
go ahead and kill me for God. I won't even flinch."
|
37:103
Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
|
37:104
We called unto him: O Abraham!
|
37:105
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
|
37:106
Lo! that verily was a clear test. |
|
37:107
Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim. |
|
37:108
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation): |
|
37:109
Peace be unto Abraham! |
|
37:110
Thus do We reward the good. |
|
37:111
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves. |
|
37:112
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous. |
|
37:113
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves. |
|
37:114
And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron, |
|
37:115
And saved them and their people from the great distress, |
|
37:116
And helped them so that they became the victors. |
|
37:117
And We gave them the clear Scripture |
|
37:118
And showed them the right path. |
|
37:119
And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation): |
|
37:120
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron! |
|
37:121
Lo! thus do We reward the good. |
|
37:122
Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves. |
|
37:123
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn), |
|
37:124
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil) ? |
|
37:125
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators, |
|
37:126
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers ? |
|
37:127
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
|
(37:127-8)
Only the "single-minded slaves of Allah" will be saved from the doom.
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
a painful doom
|
37:128
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
|
37:129
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
|
37:130
Peace be unto Elias! |
|
37:131
Lo! thus do We reward the good. |
|
37:132
Lo! he is one of our believing slaves. |
|
37:133
And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn). |
|
37:134
When We saved him and his household, every one, |
|
37:135
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind; |
|
37:136
Then We destroyed the others. |

Allah killed everyone in Sodom except for Lot and his family.
|
37:137
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning |
|
37:138
And at night-time; have ye then no sense ? |
|
37:139
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn) |
|
37:140
When he fled unto the laden ship, |
|
37:141
And then drew lots and was of those rejected; |
|
37:142
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy; |
(37:142) "And the fish swallowed him."
Jonah was swallowed by a fish.
|
37:143
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
|
37:144
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised; |
|
37:145
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick; |
|
37:146
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him; |
|
37:147
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more |
|
37:148
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while. |
|
37:149
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons ? |
|
37:150
Or created We the angels females while they were present ? |
|
37:151
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say: |
|
37:152
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie. |
|
37:153
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons. |
|
37:154
What aileth you ? How judge ye ? |
|
37:155
Will ye not then reflect ? |
|
37:156
Or have ye a clear warrant ? |
|
37:157
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful. |
|
37:158
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas
the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him). |
|
37:159
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him), |
|
37:160
Save single-minded slaves of Allah. |
|
37:161
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship, |
|
37:162
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him. |

No one is against Allah, except those who burn in hell.
Hell in the Quran
|
37:163
Save him who is to burn in hell.
|
37:164
There is not one of us but hath his known position. |
The words, "There is not one of us ... " could not have
been spoken by Allah. So how is Allah the author
of the Quran?
|
37:165
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
|
37:166
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
| 37:167
And indeed they used to say: |
| 37:168
If we had but a reminder from the men of old |
| 37:169
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah. |
"We would be single-minded slaves of Allah."
Just what the world needs: a few more single-minded slaves of Allah!
| 37:170
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
| 37:171
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn) |
| 37:172
That they verily would be helped, |
| 37:173
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors. |
| 37:174
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile, |
| 37:175
And watch, for they will (soon) see. |
| 37:176
Would they hasten on Our doom? |
(37:176-9)
Just wait a while and watch. The unbelievers will soon be destroyed in the doom.
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
a painful doom
| 37:177
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been
warned.
| 37:178
Withdraw from them awhile |
| 37:179
And watch, for they will (soon) see. |
| 37:180
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him) |
| 37:181
And peace be unto those sent (to warn). |
| 37:182
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds! |
