The physical punishments of HellExplanation of the verses

This group of verses speaks about the retribution to the sinners and their final fate. The punishments contain various physical aspects. If resurrection is merely spiritual then we will have devise symbolic meanings for these punishments though we have no excuse for doing so.

We emphasize here that the punishments of the Day of Reckoning are of two kinds:

The spiritual punishments and the physical ones. The Qura’n mentions both though most of them are physical ones and we have discussed their causes in the previous discussion.

There are numerous verses and we present a few examples for your attention:

Verses 41-44 of Sarah Waqiah:

“ And those on the left hand; who will be those one the left hand?42. In fierce hot wind and boiling water.43. In the shades of black smoke.44. Neither cool nor refreshing.”

“ On that Day it shall be heated in the fire of Hell and their foreheads, their flanks and their backs will branded with it. “ This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you hoarded.”
