Life in Paradise and life in Hell

Question:

I need to know more about the life in paradise and the life in hell.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. The difference between life in Paradise and life in Hell is so huge that only Allah knows it. But, just imagine that in the Paradise, there is all the comfort, happiness, serenity and tranquility that could come to your mind and much more. Allah says in a Hadith Qudsi: “I have prepared and arranged for my good slaves (worshippers) what no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of and no human mind has ever thought of”. Read if you want this verse. Allah says: {No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as reward for what they used to do} [37:17] On the other hand, just imagine that in Hell, life is a permanent and agonizing torment, that doesn’t stop even for a second. It is even more than that and many times stronger and agonizing. Allah says: {But those who disbelieve (in the oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism) for them will be the fire of Hell. Neither it will have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them…} [35:36] For more details and much clearer knowledge about the life of the people in Paradise and the life of those in Hell, please read the Qur’an thoroughly. Read for instance Surah 56: al-Waqia and Surah:83 al-Mutaffifin. And Allah knows best.
