[Ali'-Imran, 3: 131]
"Truly Hell is lying in wait-a destination for the transgressors."
(One's rejection of faith is transgression against Allah and himself).
[an-Naba, 78: 21-22]
Abdullah bin Umar (radiAllahu anhu) narrated: "Allah Messenger
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, 'When someone dies, he isshown his
destination morning and evening andif he belongs to the people of
Paradise, (he will be shown his place) among the people of Paradise,
and if he is from the people of Hell, (he willbe shown his place)
among the people of Hell.'"
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that Allah's Messenger
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: "There was a dispute between Hell and
Paradise during which Hell said, 'The haughty and the proud will find
abode in me.' And Paradise said, 'The meek and the humble willfind
their abode in me.' Thereupon, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,
(addressing Hell) said, 'You are the means of My punishment by which I
punish those of My servants whom I wish.' (and addressing Paradise),He
said, 'You are My mercy by means of which I will show mercy to those
whom I wish. And each one of you will be full.'"
