ALLAH, Exalted be HIS Name, says:
“ Indeed, those who disbelieve – if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of the Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment.” (Quran 5:36)
Hellfire is real and it is the most terrible punishment ever. Throughout the whole Quran, ALLAH warns us all from it.
In this verse ALLAH shows that no ransom will ever be accepted to get out from Hellfire. Imagine people who enter it, will wish to give everything to ransom themselves from it. But that will not be possible. It will be too late.
ALLAH gave us all an opportunity to ransom ourselves from Hellfire in this world by obeying HIM. And that’s very easy.
It doesn’t cost you no money, no wealth at all.
But why don’t people get it until it’s too late.
The Prophet (sallalLaahuAlaihi Wasallam) narrated to us a account that illustrates this and said:
"A disbeliever will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked. "Suppose you had as much gold as to fill the earth, would you offer it to ransom yourself?" He will reply, "Yes." Then it will be said to him, "You were asked for something easier than that (to join none in worship with ALLAH (i.e. to accept Islam, but you refused).” (Sahih Bukhari 6538)
We ask ALLAH to protect us from HIS punishment and give us the ability to serve HIM in this world so that we can be saved in the hereafter from Hellfire and enter Paradise.
Aameen.
Hope these evidences are enough to satisfy you. If you think they are not still enough, follow me keenly and get before you other equally thirst quenching evidences about the subject. In fact you can even educate others about it better than I’m doing. Be concerned about what concerns you yet seek knowledge, for ignorance is a prison wherein the inmates are those who are reluctant when it comes to seeking knowledge. When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age.
Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah.
