They will be in such relentless distress because they
will understand that the penalty they will confront will be
extremely horrible and painful. In the verses, it is stated
that hell is the worst place to stay in.
... What an evil destination! (Surah Al 'Imran: 162)
... What an evil refuge! (Surat an-Nisa: 115)
Their shelter will be the Fire. How evil is the abode of
the wrongdoers! (Surah Al 'Imran: 151)
Hell, where they will roast. What an evil place to stay!
(Surah Ibrahim: 29)
Hell is depicted in a similar way in the hadiths of the
Prophet (saas):
Among the people of hell are there those who will be
immersed in fire to their ankles, some to their knees, some to
their waists, and some to their throats. (Muslim)
The dwellers of hell will be thrown down into this evil
refuge in crowds. In a verse Allah states this as "They
will be bundled into it head first, they and the misled"
(Surat ash-Shu'ara: 94) From the verse, it is understood
that all unbelievers including those who were arrogant,
had wealth and were held in esteem, will be thrown into
the fire as worthless masses. In reply to their arrogance in
the world on that day, they will be humiliated and
despised.
