I would not cause you to enter Hell-Fire but you defied and attributed Divinity to others besides Me. It would be said to the non-believers on the Day of Resurrection: If you were to possess gold, filling the whole earth, would you like to secure your freedom by paying that? He would say: Yes.

He said: Who amongst you knows about those lying in the graves? A person said: I do. They died worshipping many gods. The prophet said: These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. On listening to the torment in the grave which I am listening to, I would have certainly made you hear that.

He (Allah) has instructed thus: I have created My servants as one having a natural inclination to the worship of Allah but it is Satan who turns them away from the right religion. And I sent the Book to you which cannot be washed away by water. Verily, Allah commanded me to burn (kill) the Quraish (Jewish tribes). I said: My Lord, they would break my head like the tearing of bread, and Allah said: You fight against them and We shall help you in this. You send an army and I would send an army five times greater than that. Fight against those who disobey you.

41:7052 - Allah's Messenger said: Allah would cause the water to, descend from the sky and they (people) will sprout like vegetable. The only thing in a man which would not decay would be one bone (spinal chord) from which the whole frame would be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection.

Similarly, I do not want anyone of you to come to me carrying over his neck a camel that will be grunting. Such a person (then) will say 'O Muhammad! (please intercede for me).'

Everyone of them will have two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives' legs will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty.

'Abdullah said, 'Gabriel?' The Prophet said, 'Yes.' 'Abdullah said, 'He, among the angels is the enemy of the Jews.' On that the Prophet recited this Verse: 'Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel let him die in his fury! Then he added, 'As for the first portent of the Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people from the East to West. And as for the first meal of the people of Paradise, it will be the lobe of the fish liver.

You promised me not to disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection; and what will be more disgraceful to me than cursing and dishonouring my father?' Then Allah will say (to him):' 'I have forbidden Paradise for the disbelievers.” Then he will be addressed, 'O Abraham! Look! What is underneath your feet?'

The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (the ram) will be slaughtered and the caller will say, 'O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death O people of Hell!

Tirmizi, volume two (p 35-40): A houri {female in paradise} is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like red wine in a white glass. She is of white colour, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution. A houri is a girl of tender age, having large breasts which are round (pointed), and not inclined to dangle. Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings. The Prophet was asked :'Do we have sex in Paradise?' He answered: 'Yes, by him who holds my soul in his hand, and it will be done dahman, dahman (with vigour). And when it is finished she will return pure and virgin again.
