عن كتاب Hell: a vision from within:
Praise be to Allah, the One Whom we
ask for assistance and forgiveness. We ask for
Allah’s refuge to secure us from our own evil
selves, our wrong doings, and misdeeds; for
whomever Allah, His Almighty guides and leads
will never go astray, and whomever Allah, His
Almighty misleads will never find the right path.
I, also, testify that there is no God but Allah, the
Only, who has no partner, and I testify that
Muhammad is His prophet and His slave.




At the Beginning of the Road: Paradise was
the Goal
I was on the first steps of the path, the path of
Islam, which was at my early youth, gratitude and praise
be to Allah. I used to consider paradise as the place that I
should be working for. Probably, not only my hope, but
also my feelings were that I deserved it! I had the feeling
that the mere idea of hell and the thought of escaping from
it was not applicable to a person of my hard work and
prayers, for such a person as I am does not belong there,
by Allah’s will, and will not enter it. Therefore, such a
person does not have to fear it or to keep on asking Allah
to save him from it. However, If he does so, then he is
only following prophet Muhammad, Allah’s peace and
blessings be on him, and imitating him, who himself asks
to be saved from Hell, with the assurance that he is not
one of its inhabitants. I have often felt, when I used to ask
for Allah’s forgiveness, that I haven’t committed deeds
that call for a so long regret, or a so much sorrow; Allah
has enabled me to give up, and apologize for the sin that I
have committed. This is repentance enough.


“O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak
(always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will
forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger ƅơȄǴǏ
ǶǴLJȁǾȈǴǟ he has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved
from the Hell-Fire and made to enter Paradise.)” (ÐÑ. ÔÍ-ÔÎ)





Allah has granted humankind certain span of life in this world and with it the ability to think and then decide their course in this life. After that, everyone will die and be buried. Then all of Allah’s creation will be brought back to life on the Day of Judgment. Those who did well on the earth will be rewarded with Heaven/Paradise, but those who were unfortunate i.e., the wrongdoers will be sent to Hell. Heaven is the abode of enjoyment, which Allah prepared for the righteous and Hell is the abode for penalty or torment, which He set up for the disbelievers. This book shows Hell from inside based on the authentic Hadeeths.
