In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"
Praise
be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with
Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds.
Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah
leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god
but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

A Party in Hell
The
Companions of our Prophet Muhammed (SAW) used to gather to remember
death so that they would benefit their souls by increasing in fear of
Allaah and strive to gain His pleasure. If this was the case of the
Sahaabah and they were the best of generations, the most pious and
God-fearing of this ummah, then what about us? Surely, it means that we
need to engage in the remembrance of Allaah(SWT) even more. After all,
we are in far more need of this act of worship than they were.
Let us begin at the end of a man's life, in his last moments. He is
lying on his death bed and his family are at his side. His father is
calling for the doctor. His wife asks him: "To whom are you leaving
us?". The man's little daughter asks him, "Why do you not answer me?",
and his small boy cries but nobody responds to him. This is the
situation Allaah, The Most High and The Most High, has informed us
about:
"Nay,
when the soul reaches the throat, and it is said: "Who will cure him
now?". The dying person concludes that this is the time for departing.
The leg joins the other leg." [Al-Qiyaamah: 26-29]
They place him in his shroud, his leg joins his other leg. Then he is
carried upon the shoulders and taken to a dark hole. If he was a
transgressing criminal he cries out: "Woe to it! Where are you taking
it?"
"The drive that day will be to your Lord" [Al-Qiyaamah: 30 ]
Then he is lowered into this ditch and dirt is thrown upon him until he
is sealed in it. If he was a criminal, Allaah - The Most Perfect and The
Most High - says:
"So he neither believed nor did he pray. Rather he belied and turned away" [Al-Qiyaamah: 31-32 ]
This trangressor will remain in his grave alone, there will be no one to
sit with him and no one to keep him company. He will feel the heat of
the fire, smell its foul odour, and be tortured therein. This man's
grave will squeeze in upon him so much so that the bones of his rib cage
will cross each other. Despite all this punishment and all this torture
and pain, he will hope that the hour will never be established. For
this man knows that the hour is far worse and of he will be in greater
loss on that Day.
The man hears 'As-Saakhah' from within his grave, and what is
'As-Saakhah'?
It is the second blowing of the trumpet. This is when all
that is in the graves shall be raised and resurrected.
So the criminal will cry: "Woe
to us, who has woken us from our resting place?" It will be said: "This
is what the Ever-Merciful promised and the messengers where truthful" [Yasin: 52]
The earth will be torn away from above him. This man will see the
heavens being cleft asunder, the stars falling and being scattered, the
oceans in their greatness bursting forth, burning, the graves will at
that time bring forth their contents. Every person shall know what he
has sent forth of good and bad deeds at that moment. [Al-Infitaar: 1-5]
Then he will raised up and driven to the crowding place: 'Al-Mahshar'. That
day, the mother who is nursing her child will become careless of it,
the mother who is carrying her child will drop her load. That day,
mankind will appear as if they are drunk yet they they are not drunk.
Indeed the punishment of your Lord is great. [Al-Hajj 1-2]
The mother will come to her son and say: "Oh my son, my breast was a
container for you, my womb was a container for you. Oh my son I seek
from you a hasanah (merit) that I may approach Allaah with. My son, do
not be greedy towards me". In the world this son would have sacrificed
his life, rather many lives for merely the happinness of his mother so
how does he treat her now? He responds to her plea: "Get away from me!
Leave me! Indeed I am in need of this merit more than you."
"So
when 'As-Saakhah' comes. That day a man will flee from his brother,
from his mother and his father, from his wife and his children. That day
every man shall have enough to make him careless of others." [Al-Abasa: 33-37]
So mankind will wait in this crowding place for 50,000 years, after
which Allaah, The Most Perfect and The Most High, will come to judge
them. So He will call the criminal and say to him, "Oh so and so, did I
not give you of the cold water to drink? did I not give you a healthy
body? Did I not give you many bounties? What have you done with all that
which I bestowed upon you?"
So the man replies, "I have done nothing my Lord."
So he lies to his Lord on that day. Allaah says: "Where are the
witnesses!". So the Angels come and bear witness that this criminal did
not pray in those moments of prayer, he drank, fornicated, lied, cursed
and insulted. He turned away from belief and was proud and arrogant. So
the criminal says to his Lord, "I do not acceptaccept a wintness except
one from myself."
His Lord replies to him, "And you have that?"
"The
day when we shall seal their mouths, there hands will speak to us and
their legs will bear witness to that which they used to earn" [Yasin: 65]
So he turns to his skin and says to it: it was only for you that I was arguing.
"Nay,
when the earth is shaken a true shaking and your Lord comes with the
Angels in rows. That day the Fire will be brought near. That day man
will remember but how will that remembrance avail him? He will say, 'Woe
to me! Would that I had put forth something for this life.' " [Al-Fajr: 21-24]
This man then remembers. This criminal remembers that when he heard the
call for prayer and he did not respond to it. He remembers when he woke
and the sun had already risen yet he had not prayed al-fajr. This man
remembers when he abused this one, when he slandered that one, when he
earned that unlawful wealth, when he struck this one and killed that
one. This criminal remembers every sin with which he disobeyed Allaah
with.That day all his remorse and regret amounts to nothing.
Then Allaah will say, "Seize him and fetter him. Then throw him into the
blazing fire. Then put a chain which is 70 cubits long through him.
Indeed he did not used to believe in Allaah, The Most Perfect,The Most
High."
The Angels will then drag him upon his face into the fire.
As he enters it he will see his friends from the world already present.
"Every time a nation enters it curses it sister nation" [Al-a'araaf: 38].
So he is greeted with curses and given a wretched abode in which to
abide. The fire encompasses him from all sides roasting, burning his
skin completely,
"Whenever their skins have been done (burnt away) we replace them with new skins so that they may taste of the punishment" [an-Nisaa: 56].

Holy Quran tells about existence of Pain Receptors (Dawah)
Their food in the fire is Ad-Daree' (a thorny plant).
"No food will they have except Ad-Daree'. It neither nourishes nor removes hunger" [Al-Ghaashiyah: 6-7]
When they eat it they choke due to the thorns. So when they are choking
they ask to be rescued with water, so they are rescued with an intensly
boiling water which grills their faces when they appoach it. When they
drink from the water, due to its heat, it cuts their intestines and
causes them an increased pain.
They eat from Az-Zaquum. They eat a bitter fruit which cannot be tasted.
"Indeed the tree of Zaquum will be the food of the sinners. Like
boiling oil, it will boil in the belies, like the boiling of scalding
water. It will be said : Drag, sieze him and drag him into the midst of
the blazing fire. Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.
Taste! You were pretending to be the Mighty the Generous" [ad-Dukhaan: 43-49]
Due to this intense pain, suffering and anguish they are experiencing they call upon the guardian of hell-fire,
"They call, Oh Maalik let your Lord destroy us" After many years he responds to them with two words "You are staying" [43:77].
After all of this, they have one last chance and they call upon their
Lord, "Oh our Lord we were indeed astray! Oh our Lord we were indeed
misguided, we did fall short. Return us to the world so that we can do
good instead of that which we used to do."
Allaah replies to them, "Rot in it and do not speak to me".
After this they do not speak nor do they utter."
They are then called from afar, "Oh dwellers of the fire, do you know
what this is?" They reply, "Yes that is death in the form of a ram."
Death is then slaughtered in a place between Al-Jannah an An-Naar. It is
said to the dwellers of the fire, ever-lasting life without death.
