Are there any other punishments in Hell apart from the Fire?


Allah informs us in the Qur’an that unbelievers will be flung into Hellfire, and will have garments of fire and tar. (Surat al-Hajj, 19) Yet the punishment of Hell is not limited to fire:


- There are cudgels made of iron (Surat al-Hajj, 21),


- people will be yoked together in chains (Surah Ibrahim, 49),


- they will be dragged along and will have shackles and chains around their necks (Surah Ghafir, 71),


- the punishment of boiling water will be poured on their heads (Surat ad-Dukhan, 48),


- they will wear shirts of tar (Surah Ibrahim, 50),


- they will be flung into a narrow place in it, shackled together in chains (Surat al-Furqan, 13),


- they will be firewood and fuel for Hellfire (Surat al-Jinn, 15, Surah Al ‘Imran, 10)


What is listed here is in fact only a small portion of the types of punishment of Hell. In Hell there are punishments that are so painful that no one on earth can ever imagine. Besides the regret they feel, the spiritual pain that Allah inflicts on the companions of the Fire will everlastingly burn their hearts. Allah draws attention to this spiritual pain in the Qur’an as follows:


And what will convey to you what the Shatterer is? The kindled Fire of Allah reaching right into the heart. (Surat al-Humaza, 5-7)


Are there any other punishments in Hell apart from the Fire?
