What is the "humiliating punishment" in store for people who "annoy" Muhammad or Allah?

Question

Quran 33:57 YUSUFALI: Those who annoy Allah and His Messenger - Allah has cursed them in this World and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment.

So what does this chapter in the Quran later say about the consequences of this annoyance curse?

Quran 33:61 “cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a horrible murdering.” http://www.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/033.qmt.html#033.061

Muslims, doesnt this seem like a rather low threshold for being "horribly murdered" and then sent hellfire in the "hereafter"?

Great religion you got here...by the way, isnt it almost certain that, if Allah can be "annoyed", then everyone has almost certainly at some point annoyed him and now awaits "horrible murdering"?

Allah is a pathetic God if you ask me, like some fat crumpy sadistic gradpa with hemroids who gets "annoyed". Wow...a God who gets annoyed...cool religion.

Answer 7

A boss can get annoyed by his subordinates who do something wrong, can he not? A king or master can get annoyed by his servants who dont do as he pleases, can he not? A father can get annoyed by his children who disobey him, can he not?

So does God. What more, He is God The Creator. We are all His servants and slaves including the angels, the devils, the prophets, the saints, the righteous, the evildoers, the sun, the moon, etc.

Allah, the Quranic and Islamic God has been accepted to be God of Abraham, God of Jesus, God of Moses, and God of Adam by numerous Muslim and non-Muslim scholars of Islam since ages, be them Popes, Rabbis, historians, or theologians. Catholic Cathecism signed by the late Pope John Paul II even recognises that Islam is another mean for salvation. Thus, insulting Allah which literally means "The God" in Arabic means insulting Christian and Jewish God as well. That means, you are directly insulting more than half of the world's population by saying such blasphemous words about God in your question.


Here's hell for you, I mean, something about hell for you to read:


"Know they not that whoever opposes and shows hostility to Allah and His Messenger, certainly for him will be the fire of Hell to abide therein? That is extreme disgrace". (9:63)

"This is so! And for the Tagheen [transgressors] - will be an evil final return - Hell! Where they will burn, and worst [indeed] is that place to rest!" (38:55-6)


The Keepers of Hell


Standing over Hell are MIGHTY and STERN angels who never disobey Allah subhaanahu wa ta'ala Who has created them. They do whatever He commands them, as Allah subhaanahu wa ta'ala says:

"O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are [appointed] angels stern [and] severe, who flinch not [from executing] the Commands they receive from Allah, but do [precisely what] they are commanded." (66:6)


Their number is nineteen as Allah (swt) says:


"Soon I will cast him into Hellfire. And what will explain to you what Hellfire is? Naught does it permit to endure, and naught does it leave alone! Darkening and changing the colour of man! Over it are nineteen [angels as guardians and keepers of Hell]" (74:26-30)


This number was a challenge to the kuffaar who thought that they would easily overcome such a small number, but they did not realise that one of these angels has the strength to confront the whole of mankind on his own. For this reason, Allah (swt) said in the next aayah:


"And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their numbers [19] only as a trial for the disbelievers.." (74:31)


These angels are the ones whom Allah subhaanahu wa ta'ala called the guardians of Hell:


"Those in the Fire will say to the keepers [angels] of Hell: "Call upon your Rabb to lighten for us the torment for a day!" (40:49)

The Vast Extent of Hell


Hell is huge and vast and immensely deep, as is proven by several things:

(1) Allah says in the Qur'an: "On the Day when We will say to Hell: "Are you filled?" It will say: "Are there any more to come?" (50:30)


In the hadith that describes the debate between Paradise and Hell, it says that Allah (swt) said to Hell, "You are My Punishment; I will punish in you whomsoever I will". Both Paradise and Hell will be filled, but Hell will not be filled until Allah (swt) places His foot in it and it will say, "Enough, enough!". Then it will be filled and its different parts will come closer to one another. Allah (swt) will not wrong any one of His Creation.


(2) Another indication of its vast depth is the fact that a stone thrown from the top of Hell takes a very long time to reach the bottom. Muslim reports that Abu Hurayrah (ra) said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (saw) and we heard the sound of something falling. The Prophet (saw) said, "Do you know what that was?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best". He said, "That was a stone that was thrown into Hell seventy years ago and it was falling through Hell until now".

the Prophet (Saw) said, "If there was a huge stone as big as seven khalifaat stones, and it was thrown from the edge of Hell it would fly through it for seventy years before it reached the bottom".


(3) The great number of angels who will bring Hell forth on the Day of Resurrection.


The Messenger (saw) described how Hell will be brought forth on the Day of Resurrection, concerning which Allah (swt) said, "And Hell will be brought near that Day". (89:23)


The Prophet (saw) said, "Hell will be brought forth that Day by means of seventy thousand ropes, each of which will be held by seventy thousand angels." (reported by Muslim from 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ud, 4/2184 no.2842)


We can only imagine the vastness of this terrifying creation that requires such a huge number of strong and powerful angels whose strength is known only to Allah!


(4) Another indication of the vastness of Hell is the fact that two great creations like the sun and moon will be two rolled-up bulls in Hell. the Prophet (saw) said: "The sun and moon will be two rolled-up bulls in Hell on the Day of Resurrection"

The Levels of Hell


There are variations in the degrees of heat in Hell, and in the levels of punishment which Allah (swt) has prepared for its inhabitants; there is not just one level.

As Allah says: "Verily the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths [grade] of the Fire" (4:145)


It is said that both Paradise and Hell have different levels; the lower the level in Hell, the greater the intensity of the heat. The hypocrites will suffer the worst punishment, and so they will be in the lowest level of Hell.


Allah (swt) refers to the levels of Paradise and Hell in the Qur'an:


"For all there will be degrees [or ranks] according to what they did" (6:132)


"Is then one who follows [seeks] the good pleasure of Allah like the one who draws on himself the Wrath of Allah? His abode is Hell - and worst, indeed, is that destination! They are in varying grades with Allah, and Allah is All-Seer of what they do". (3:162-3)


'Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Zayd ibn Aslam said, "The levels of paradise go up and the levels of Hell go down".

It was reported that the sinners amongst the monotheists who enter Hell would be in the first level, the Jews would be in the second level, the Christians in the third level, the Sabians in the fourth level, the Magians in the fifth level, the polytheist in the sixth level and the hypocrites in the seventh level


The Gates of Hell


Allah has told us that Hell has seven gates, as He (swt) said:

"And surely, Hell is the promised place for them all. It [Hell] has seven gates, for each of these gates is a [special] class [of sinners] assigned". (15:43-44)


Ibn Katheer commenting on this aayah, said: "This means that each gate has been allotted its share of the followers of Iblees who will enter it, and the will not be able to avoid it. May Allah (swt) protect us from it. Each will enter a gate according to his deeds, and will be assigned to a level of Hell according to his deeds."


"And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups, till, when they reach it, the gates thereof will be opened [suddenly like a prison at the arrival of the prisoners]. And its keepers will say, "Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves - reciting to you the Verses of your Rabb, and warning you of the Meeting of this Day of yours". They will say, "Yes" but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers". (39:71)


After they are admitted, they will be told:


"Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein. And [indeed] what an evil abode of the arrogant!" (39:72)


These gates will be shut upon the evildoers, and they will have no hope of ever escaping from them after that, as Allah (swt) says, "But those who reject Our Signs, they are the [unhappy] Companions of the Left Hand. On them will be Fire vaulted over [all round]." (90:19-20)


Ibn 'Abbaas said, "vaulted" (literally: "shut over them") means that the gates will be "locked".


In the Qur'an Allah (swt) says:


"Woe to every [kind of] scandalmonger and backbiter, who piles up wealth and lays it by. Thinking that his wealth would make him last forever! By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into that which Breaks to Pieces. And what will explain to you that which breaks to pieces? The Fire of [the wrath of] Allah, kindled [to a blaze], which mounts [right] to the heart. It shall be made into a vault over them, in columns outstretched." (104:1-9)


The gates of Hell may be opened and closed before the Day of Judgement. The Prophet (Saw) told us that the gates of Hell are locked during the month of Ramadhan.

the Prophet (saw) said: "When the first night of Ramadhan comes, the Shayaateen and evil jinns are chained up. The gates of Hell are closed and not one of them is opened. The gates of Paradise are opened and not one of them is closed."


Fuel of Hell


Stones and the rebellious disbelievers are the fuel of Hell, as Allah says:

"O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is men and stones!" (66:6)


"...then fear the Fire [hell] whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers" (2:24)


What is meant by the people who will be fuel for the Fire is the disbelievers and polytheists. As for the type of stone that will fuel the Fire, Allah (swt) knows best what it really is.

Another fuel for the Fire will be the gods, which were worshipped instead of Allah (swt);


"Certainly! You [disbelievers] and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are [but] fuel for Hell! [Surely] you will enter it. Had these [idols etc] been aaliha [gods] they would not have entered there [Hell] and all of them will abide therein." (21:98-99)


The Intensity of Its Heat and the Vastness of Its Smoke and Sparks


Allah (swt) says:

"And those on the left hand - who will be those on the Left Hand? In fierce hot wind and boiling water. And shadow of black smoke, [that shadow] neither cool, nor [even] good". (56:41-44)


This aayah includes all of the things that people avail themselves of in this world when it is too hot; these three things are: water, air and shade. But the aayah states that these three things will be of no help whatsoever to the people of Hell. The air of Hell is al-Sumoom, which is an intensely hot wind; its water is al-Hameem, boiling water; its shade is al-Yahmoom, which is a part of the smoke of Hell.


Just as this aayah emphasises the horrifying position of those on the Left Hand, who are the people of Hell, another aayah emphasises the horror of Hell itself. Allah (swt) says:


"But he whose balance [of good deeds] will be [found] light, will have his home in a [bottomless] pit. And what will explain to you what this is? [It is] a Fire blazing fiercely!" (101:8-11)


The shade referred to in the aayah "and the shadow of black smoke" (56:43) is the shade cast by the smoke of Hell. Shade usually makes one feel cool and comfortable, and people love to feel it, but this shade [in Hell] will neither be cool nor pleasant; it is the shadow of black smoke.


The Qur'an tells us that this shade is the smoke of Hell which rises above the Fire:


""Depart you to a shadow [of smoke ascending] in three columns, [which yields] no shade of coolness and is of no use against the Fierce Blaze". Indeed! It [Hell] throws about sparks [huge] as forts, as if there were [a string of] yellow camels [marching swiftly]." (77:30-33)


This aayah states that the smoke that rises from Hell is so great that it is divided into three columns. It gives shade, but it is not cooling and it offers no protection from the Raging Fire. The sparks that fly from this Fire are like huge castles, and they are likened to yellow or black camels.


Allah (swt) explained how strong this Fire is, and how it affects the tormented:


"Soon I will cast him into Hellfire. And what will explain to you exactly what Hellfire is? Naught does it permit to endure, and naught does it leave alone! Darkening and changing the colour of man!" (74:26-29)


The Fire consumes all, destroying everything and leaving nothing untouched. It burns skin, reaching to the bone, melting the contents of the stomach and exposing what is innermost.


The Prophet (saw) told us: "Fire as we know it is one-seventieth part of the Fire of Hell." Someone said, "O Messenger of Allah (saw), it is enough as it is!" He said, "It [the fire of Hell] is as if sixty nine equal portions were added to the fire as we know it."


This Fire never dies down, no matter how much time passes:


"So taste you [the results of your evil actions]; no increase shall We give you, except in torment". (78:30)


"...whenever it abates, We shall increase for them the fierceness of the Fire". (17:97)


The disbelievers will not taste the luxury of respite, and the torment will not be lessened for them no matter how long it lasts:


"Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped". (2:86)





Never mock The God.

God knows best.

Peace and Love.
