P. 341
IT IS NARROW AND DISTRESSING
When they are flung into a narrow place in it, shackled together
in chains, they will cry out there for destruction. (Qur'an, 25:13)
IT IS DARK AND MURKY
And the murk of thick black smoke, providing no coolness and
no pleasure. (Qur'an, 56:43-44)
IT IS SURROUNDED BY WALLS
That Day the men and women of the hypocrites will say to those
who believe, 'Wait for us so that we can borrow some of your
light.'They will be told, 'Go back and look for light!'And a wall
will be erected between them with a gate in it, on the inside of
which there will be mercy but before whose exterior lies the
punishment. (Qur'an, 57:13)
IT HAS A SEETHING
AND RASPING SOUND
When it sees them coming from a long way off, they will hear it
seething and rasping. (Qur'an, 25:12)
IT HAS A GRUMBLING SOUND
When they are flung into it they will hear it gasping harshly as it
seethes. (Qur'an, 67:7)
IT SPEAKS AND CALLS TO MAN
On the Day He says to Hell, 'Are you full?', it will ask, 'Are there
no more to come?' (Qur'an, 50:30)
Ceaselessly scorching the flesh. (Qur'an, 74:29)
THE MOANING OF THOSE IN
HELL WILL BE HEARD
There will be sighing for them in it and they will not be able to
hear. (Qur'an, 21:100)
