Tree of Zaqqum HD

For more detailed information, you can visit the websites below. www.questionsonislam.com www.windowsofislam.com www.basicsofbelief.com Now, let us listen to another verse of our Lord: Verily the tree of Zaqqum will be the food of the Sinful like molten brass; it will boil in their insides. Like the boiling of scalding water. (A voice will cry:) "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire! Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water; Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou Mighty full of honour! Truly this is what ye used to doubt.” (ad-Dukhan 43-50) The tree of Zaqqum mentioned in the verse is the tree that God Almighty created in Hell and named as "cursed tree". When the people of Hell get hungry, they go to this tree and eat from it. This tree boils like hot water in their abdomens. God Almighty makes the tree of Zaqqum boil like molten copper in their abdomens. The Prophet (pbuh) sates the following about the tree of Zaqqum:“If one drop from the tree of Zaqqum were to fall into the seas of the world, it would turn the life of everybody upside down. What about the state of those who will eat Zaqqum?” (Tirmidhi, Jahannam, 4; Hakim, al-Mustadrak, 2/294) There are several kinds of torture in Hell. Hunger and thirst are two of them.

Then, he feels so thirsty that he chooses to drink boiling water and pus. I wonder what kind of pain hunger and thirst cause to make a person choose to eat from the tree of Zaqqum and drink boiling water. What a strange state it is! O my soul! Now, I will ask you some questions; answer them honestly: Is it better to eat from the tree of Zaqqum and drink boiling water or to eat the food of Paradise and drink from the rivers of Paradise? O my soul! What are the difficult things that your Lord wants from you in return for Paradise and that you avoid doing? Is what He wants so difficult? Are performing prayers five times a day, giving away one-fortieth of your property as zakah and going to hajj once in your life if you are rich difficult? O my soul! I wonder for what pleasure of the world you agree to eat from the tree of Zaqqum and drink boiling water. For what pleasure do you accept to burn in hellfire and to be chained? What pleasure in this short world can make you agree to burn in hellfire? O my soul! Does the feeling of not being able to enter Paradise not distress you? The Quran informs us about some of the talks between the people of Paradise and the people of Hell. Yes, God Almighty sometimes removes the curtain and the people of Paradise and the people of Hell see and talk to one another. Can you imagine the agony of seeing Paradise from Hell? To burn in Hell or not to be able to enter Paradise… However, there is something worse. Does your ingratitude toward your Lord, who crea
