Summary
This ruling collects hadiths and reports describing the intense heat of Hell. The fire of this world is described as only one part in seventy of the fire of Hell, and in the narration of Muslim Hell is hotter by sixty-nine times. Hell is also described as having been kindled for thousands of years until it turned pitch black. Its punishment is portrayed as so severe that a single dip makes the most comfortable person in this world forget all comfort.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
