I want to welcome you to our webinar tonight where we're going to be speaking about a topic

that should give us a lot of pause and one that is necessary to really balancing out our

connection to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It's the topic of Jahannam, the topic of Hellfire.

Obviously we're coming off of Ramadan as I had mentioned in Ramadan that while we were talking

about the Jannah series I thought it would be important for us to have a description of Hellfire

after the Jannah series to where we can contrast some of the descriptions of Al-Jannah with some

of the descriptions of Jahannam with some of the descriptions of Hellfire as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

so frequently does in the Quran. And SubhanAllah you know when we had started to really frame the

series I actually thought about doing Jannah and Jahannam in one but it would have been too long

and I found that many of the readamaten facts separated out the description of Paradise from

the description of Hellfire to go in depth. But what is the purpose of this particular webinar?

You know one of the things that you will notice about this balance that we have with Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala of hope and in fear is that the same qualities that will save you on the day of judgment

are the same qualities that will enter you into Jannah are the same qualities that will protect you

from the fire. And so all of these different descriptions that we have of Yaman Qiyama of the day

of judgment of Al-Jannah of Jahannam all of them are ultimately meant to drive us back to Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala with the things that he loves with the qualities that he loves that are best

manifested in the character of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Hence you understand the

logic of the last few years of Ramadan series this is how we come close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

and ultimately some of us are going to be motivated by different things sometimes more by hope
