🔥 Hellfire’s Intensity

📖 Tafseer (Commentary) of Ayah 87:12

🔹 The Reality of Hellfire

✅ The fire of Hell is far more intense than any worldly fire.
✅ It is the punishment for disbelievers, hypocrites, and rebellious sinners.

1️⃣ Different Levels of Hellfire

✅ The fire is not the same in all sections of Hell—some are more intense than others.
✅ The lowest and most severe level is HAWIYA, where hypocrites and figures like Pharaoh ⛰️ will reside.

2️⃣ Comparison with Worldly Fire

✅ Just as the sun’s heat varies by time and place, Hellfire also has different intensities.
✅ Different types of firewood produce different degrees of heat—similarly, the punishment in Hell varies based on sins.

3️⃣ Spiritual Understanding of Hellfire

✅ According to great Sufi sages, this fire represents negligence in the world.
✅ In the Hereafter, it becomes the fire of separation from (اللَّهُ) Allah’s closeness.

📖 Conclusion:

Hellfire is not a single, uniform punishment but varies in intensity based on one’s deeds. The worst suffering is the loss of (اللَّهُ) Allah’s mercy, which is the greatest deprivation of all.
