Explore the Qur'an by subject matter. In this post, we've compiled a collection of 104 verses that mention the topic of Jahannam.
All Muslims hope to spend their eternal lives in Heaven (jannah), but many will fall short. Disbelievers and evil-doers face another destination: Hell-Fire (jahannam). The Quran contains many warnings and descriptions of the severity of this eternal punishment.
Its profound significance is evidenced by the multitude of citations and mentions it garners from scholars spanning various faith traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Allah states that He will say to Jahannam on the Day of Resurrection, "Have you had your fill" Allah the Most Honored has promised Hell that it will have its fill from the Jinns and mankind.
This page quotes from the most prominent Quranic passages and verses about Jahannam. The translation used is The Clear Quran by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, and the links go to Quran.com, which provides additional translations.
Who will go to Jahannam first? In a hadith of Muslim narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) the Prophet (SAW) said the first of people to enter Hell will be a man who died a martyr but not for Allah, only so that people would call him courageous.
Every soul will face judgment for their deeds in this life and those who have led a life of disobedience will be justly punished (Quran 6:93). The concept of Jahannam serves as a cornerstone of this belief system, highlighting the severity of the consequences for rejecting Allah's (swt) message.
“And those who say, ‘Our Lord, do not place us among the people of the Fire,’ and indeed, Jahannam is the most wretched of abodes.” (Al-Furqan 25:65-66) Jahannam is described as the worst place for the disbelievers, a place where they will endure pain without end.
The Qur’an mentions Jahannam in Islam often, describing it as a dreadful, unavoidable truth that pursues those who ignore the straight path. This is not a mere picture or idea; it is a real place created by Allah for the Day of Resurrection.
Jahannam is depicted in the Quran as a place of severe punishment for those who disbelieve in God and commit sins. It is the ultimate destination for the unrighteous, contrasting with Paradise (Jannah), which is reserved for the faithful and righteous.
