The Reality of Hell!
Is the Hell Fact or Fable-Part 1

What is hell? Some believe in its existence and some not! Is the hell real or a sign?

Do you believe in hell? Where it is? Is it a real place or is a fable?

The oldest manuscripts of the Hebrew word for Hell is  sheol appears 54 times.


The word hell is used in the Bible about 54-65 times.The King James Version of the Bible translates this Hebrew word sheol, 31 times as "hell," 31 times as "grave," and 3 times as "pit." So in the "Old Testament," the KJ version uses the word "hell" 31 times,  it also interesting to see that the same Hebrew word Sheol was also translated as “grave" and "pit."
God so loved the world!
God loves you and He gave His son
 Jesus so that you should not enter Hell.
In the "New Testiment," the King James Version translates the Greek word "hades" in all 10 places it occurs, as "hell." The King James Version also uses the word "hell" or "hellfire" when translating the Greek word "Gehenna" 12 times.

Other Bible translations  interpreted  the Hebrew word sheol and Greek word hades in diverse forms, many translations don't use the English word "hell"  instead trasliterated the Hebrew and Greek words directly as "sheol" and "hades."
Hades, Sheol

Jahannam (Arabic: جهنم‎) is the Islamic corresponding to Hell. It is also mentioned in the Quran as: "That which Breaks to Pieces, Blazing Fire and "The Abyss. The Arabic term Jahannam as the root origin from comes from the Hebrew Gehenna, originally the name of a valley outside Jerusalem. Where all the trash is burnt.

In the Quran Jahannam (Hell) is described as having seven entries, each for a particular group of sinners, the sinners have grade (or measure) based on their deeds and hypocrites are said to dwell in the lowest parts of the depths of the Jahannam. It is strange to note that Sinners are the fuel for the fire of Jahannam along with incredulous Jinns and stones. The fire consumes their skins, changing the colour to black due to its intensity of hell. Jahannam has a shadow of smoke ascending in three columns, which yields no shade of coolness against the fierce blaze. Its sparks are described to be as "huge as a palace." Jahannam is described to have nineteen angels, who will punish evildoers. The boss over these angels, as mentioned in the Quran, is Maalik. According to Prophet Muhammad he is an angel, very cruel & unsympathetic, and he will listen the agony of dwellers of hell after 1000 years and that will also result in negative response.
Men is the acting fuel
 in Hell (Quran 66:6)

Islam teaches that Hell is a real place geared up by God for those who do not believe in Him, dissenters against His laws, and reject His message. Hell is a real place, not a simple state of phsycology or a spiritual entity. The terrors, hurt, sorrow, and chastisement are all genuine, but different in scenery than their earthly counterparts. Hell is the ultimate embarrassment and defeat, and nothing is degradation than it.


“Our Lord! Surely, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed You have disgraced him, and never will the wrongdoers find any helpers.” (Quran 3:192).

It is said that the words "paradise" and "hell" are each repeated 77 times in the quran.

The Names of Hell is used with different names in Islamic texts. Each name gives a separate description. They are as follows:
  • Jaheem – fire - because of the blazing fire. 
  • Jahannam - Hell - because of the depth of the pit. 
  • Ladthaa - blazing fire - because of the flames. 
  • Sa’eer - blazing flame - because it is kindled and ignited. 
  • Saqar - because of the intensity of the heat. 
  • Hatamah - broken pieces or debris - because it breaks and crushes everything that is thrown into it. 
  • Haawiyah - chasm or abyss - because the one who is thrown into it is thrown from top to bottom. 
“And fear the Fire which is prepared for the disbelievers.” (Quran 3:131).
