                               One of the most important duties of Allah's messengers was to
                         warn people and to make them fear His punishment and Hell. The
                         prophets are a means by which people come to fear Allah and adopt high
                         morality, and, for some of them, to live in Paradise in the hereafter. The
                         Prophet (saas) also warned people about the torments of Hell and tried
                         to prevent them from wickedness, disbelief and atheism. Some verses
                         concerning the Prophet (saas)'s warnings about Hell read:
                               When Our Signs are recited to them—Clear Signs—you can

                         bers at that time, the Prophet (saas) paid no heed to their disposition and
                         threats, but with great determination preached the words of the Qur'an
                         and made it quite clear that he would never turn from the true path.
                         Determination and patience are defining characteristics of the faithful,
                         and every Muslim must take the determination and strong will of the
                          Prophet (saas) as a model. Some verses on that subject are as follows:
