Chains in Hell - according to the Quran

The Quran describes various punishments in Hell, including chains, boiling water, and darkness. Other punishments mentioned include the Hutamah (Hellfire), Sijjin (a register of the deeds of the wicked), and severe punishment for those who transgress, doubt, and set up other deities with Allah. These descriptions emphasize the gravity of one's actions and the consequences they will face in the Hereafter. The Quran mentions chains as a punishment in Hell. Here are a few verses that describe this punishment:

In Surah Al-Dukhan, verses 70-72, the Quran states:

"Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant. But those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups until, when they reach it while its gates have been opened and its keepers say, 'Peace be upon you; you have become pure; so enter it to abide eternally therein,' [they will enter]. And they will say, 'Praise to Allah, who has fulfilled for us His promise and made us inherit the earth [so] we may settle in Paradise wherever we will.' And excellent is the reward of [righteous] workers."

This verse describes how the arrogant will enter the gates of Hell and abide therein, while the righteous will be driven to Paradise in groups. The punishment of chains is implied in the description of Hell as a wretched residence for the arrogant.

In Surah Al-Hajj, verse 19, the Quran states:

"These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water. By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins."

This verse describes how disbelievers will have garments of fire cut out for them and scalding water poured on their heads. The punishment of chains is implied in the description of what is melted within their bellies and skins.

In Surah Ibrahim, verse 49, the Quran states:

"And [mention] the Day when the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire and will be driven [there]. Until, when they reach it, their hearing and their eyes and their skins will testify against them of what they used to do."

This verse describes how the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire and driven there, and their hearing, eyes, and skins will testify against them. The punishment of chains is implied in the description of how they will be driven.

Overall, the Quran mentions chains as a punishment in Hell, emphasizing the severity of the punishment for those who reject the message of God and engage in disobedience and arrogance. The punishment of chains is implied in the description of the wretched residence of the arrogant, garments of fire, scalding water, and how they will be driven to the Fire.

In Surah Al-Muddathir, verses 29-31, the Quran states:

"Depart to that which you used to deny. Depart to a shadow [of black smoke] in three columns, [bringing] no relief and no protection from the flame."

This verse describes how the disbelievers will be sent to a shadow of black smoke in three columns, which will offer them no relief or protection from the flames of Hell.

In Surah Al-Waqi'ah, verses 42-44, the Quran states:

"[They will be] among thornless lote trees and among banana trees with layered shade and extended shade and in water abounding and fruit, abundant [and varied], neither limited [to season] nor forbidden, and [with them] on beds raised high. Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation."

This verse describes how the inhabitants of Paradise will enjoy the shade of lote and banana trees, abundant water, and varied and unlimited fruits on raised beds. The contrast with the punishment of Hell emphasizes the severity of the punishment for those who reject the message of God and engage in disobedience and arrogance.

In Surah Al-Inshiqaq, verses 6-7, the Quran states:

"O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?"

This verse emphasizes the importance of recognizing and acknowledging the Creator, who has created humans in a balanced and proportioned form. Those who reject this message and engage in disobedience and arrogance will face the punishment of Hell.

The Quran describes various punishments in Hell, including shadows of black smoke, thornless trees, beds of punishment, and the importance of recognizing the Creator. These punishments serve as a warning to emphasize the consequences of one's actions and the severity of the punishment they will face in the Hereafter.

In Surah Al-Hajj, verses 19-22, the Quran states:

"These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water. By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins. And for [striking] them are maces of iron."

This verse describes how disbelievers will have garments of fire cut out for them and scalding water poured on their heads, which will melt that within their bellies and skins. Additionally, they will be struck with maces of iron.

In Surah Al-Humazah, verses 4-9, the Quran states:

"Woe to every scorner and mocker who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it. He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal. No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher. And what can make you know what is the Crusher? It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled, which mounts directed at the hearts. Indeed, it [Hellfire] will close in upon them in extended columns."

This verse describes how the scorner and mocker who is obsessed with collecting and counting wealth will be thrown into the Crusher - the fire of Allah that will close in upon them in extended columns.

In Surah Al-Qamar, verses 43-48, the Quran states:

"Indeed, We have subjected the disbelievers to chains, shackles, and a blaze. Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kafur, a spring of which the [righteous] servants of Allah will drink; they will make it gush forth in force [and abundance]. They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread. And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive."

This verse describes how the disbelievers will be subjected to chains, shackles, and a blaze, while the righteous will be rewarded with a drink of Kafur and the ability to make it gush forth in abundance. Additionally, the righteous are described as those who fulfill their vows, fear the Day of Judgment, and give food to the needy, the orphan, and the captive.

In Surah Al-Humazah, verses 11-12, the Quran states:

"No! Indeed, he will be thrown into the Hutamah. And what can make you know what is the Hutamah? It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled, Which mounts directed at the hearts."

The Hutamah is another name for Hellfire, which is described as being fueled by Allah and directed at the hearts of those who are thrown into it.

In Surah Al-Mutaffifin, verses 10-16, the Quran states:

"No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjin. And what can make you know what is sijjin? It is a register inscribed. Woe, that Day, to the deniers, Who deny the Day of Recompense. And none deny it except every sinful transgressor. When Our verses are recited to him, he says, 'Legends of the former peoples!' No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning."

Sijjin is a register where the deeds of the wicked are recorded, and they will be held accountable for their actions on the Day of Recompense. Those who deny this day will face woe and punishment, and the Quran mentions how their hearts will be stained with the sins they have earned.

In Surah Al-Muddaththir, verses 26-29, the Quran states:

"Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever, Who hindered good, transgressed all bounds, doubted, And who set up another deity with Allah. Throw him into the severe punishment."

These verses describe how obstinate disbelievers who hinder good, transgress bounds, doubt, and set up other deities with Allah will be thrown into severe punishment in Hell.

Overall, the Quran describes various punishments in Hell, including the Hutamah, Sijjin, and severe punishment for those who transgress, doubt, and set up other deities with Allah. These descriptions emphasize the seriousness of one's actions and the consequences they will face in the Hereafter.
