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)
