[edit] Correction

A correction of facts for the most severe level of Hell. It is Hawiyah which is was translated by Yusuf Ali as "a bottomless Pit" and by Shakir as "the Abyss". The stated inhabitants are correct.

Huthamah is actually for those who hoard their wealth. Refer to Al-Humaza:2-6 (104:2-6)

[edit] Leaving the Jahannam

In the article it is stated that one can leave the Jahannam and go to paradise, however the Qur'an states that:

[2:161-162] Verily those who reject faith and die rejecting - on them is Allaah's Curse and the Curse of the Angels and of all mankind. They will abide therein: their penalty will not be lightened, nor will respite be their lot
[5:37] Their wish will be to get out of the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom: their Penalty will be one that endures
[43:74] The unbelievers shall endure forever the torment of Hell. The punishment will never be lightened, and they shall be speechless with despair

Is there a need for a clarification? Nova77 00:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The verses speak of the Kaafiroon, those who reject the Truth after knowing of it. This is their punishment, however for someone who did both good and bad but did not acheive Paradise it is possible and likely that they will be purified of their sins in the Fire and later enter Paradise. Musa as-Salafi 08:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

It should be noted that Islamic ideology stresses the Mercy of Allah, and that accordingly He can and by logic eventually forgive everyone who was condemned to Jahannam. ~~A Muslim~~ 74.181.32.91 (talk) 03:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
