In all the divine revelations there is a constant warning that wrongdoers may end up in Hell-fire, though Allah’s kindness and mercy are extended to many people. Reading about the Hell-fire enables one to know it, fear it, and try utmost to keep oneself away from it through correct beliefs and good deeds. The more one knows about Hell-fire, the more he or she strives to be saved from its reach. Relying on statements from the Holy Qur’an and the Hadith, this book enables the reader to have a realistic picture of Hell-fire’s torments.
It may be enough to know that it is a raging fire, but detailed knowledge of it, as displayed in this book, will strengthen a person’s belief and eventually, Allah willing, make him or her seek for and remain steadfast on the path to salvation. This is an indispensable book for believers and non-believers alike.
Hell-fire: Its Torments and Denizens is an abridged, summarized version of Siddiq Hasan Khan’s book about the Hell-fire.
I was looking forward to this book but I couldn't get past the heavy amount of random bias in this book. On the very first page, they insinuate that non-Sunnis don't believe in Hell and then chapter 5 is all about how women won't go to heaven because of our diminished mentality.
Like I have time to read about why my gender is so inferior! So I didn't finish this short book because it was poorly written.
Gave two stars for effort and a nice set-up of information.
