Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-‘Uthaymeen by al-Salmaan, 2/58.
-It is called Jahannam (Hell) because of the depth of its pit -according to al-Qaamoos.
-It is called Lazaa (blazing fire) because of its flames.
-It is called Saqar (Hell) because of the intensity of its heat.
-It is called al-Haawiyah (chasm, abyss) because the one who is thrown into it is thrown from top to bottom… and so on.
“Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise will say, ‘O Allah, admit him to Paradise.’ Whoever seeks protection from the Fire three times, Hell will say, ‘O Allah, protect him from the Fire.’”
al-Tirmidhi 2572
Ibn Majah, 4340.
‘Allahumma ajirni min al-nar(O Allah, protect me from the Fire)
It is mustahab for the believer to ask Allah for Paradise, and to seek protection from Hell.
May Allah protect from His punishment .🔥
