The Torment of Fire

In this life of hell, one of the greatest torments is no doubt being
exposed to fire. Unlike other forms of torture, fire leaves irreparable

fire. Fire reaches every corner of hell. While being subjected to other
forms of physical and spiritual tortures, the unbeliever is constantly
in touch with fire. The hellfire is enormously big. In the Qur'an,
analogies are drawn between the sparks of fire and "great sparks the
size of castles" and "a herd of yellow camels" to describe the intensity

Unbelievers devote all their energy to escaping the flames, but
