Praise be to Allaah.   1 – I advise you to read the Qur’aan a great deal, and listen to recitations of Qur’aan and ponder the meanings of what you read and what you hear as much as you can. Whatever you cannot understand, ask the people of knowledge in your country or write to other scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah (Sunnis).  If you read a tafseer (commentary) on what you read, this will help you to ponder the meanings. One of the best and most concise Tafseers is  Tafseer al-Sa’di  (may Allaah have mercy on him). 2 – You should remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr), by reciting the dhikrs narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth (authentic narrations)such as  Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah  (there is no god but Allaah),  Subhaan Allaah wa’l-hamdu Lillaah wa laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa Allaahu akbar  (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god but Allaah, and Allaah is great), and so on.

Hence the scholars made this one of their tenets of faith, so that we believe that Hell is eternal and will last forever. This is a matter concerning which there is no doubt, because Allaah has mentioned the eternal nature of Hell in three places in the Qur’aan:  1 – In Soorat al-Nisa, where He says (interpretation of the meaning):  “Verily, those who disbelieve and did wrong [by concealing the truth about Prophet Muhammad and his message of true Islamic Monotheism written in the Tawraatt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) with them]; Allaah will not forgive them, nor will He guide them to any way. ...
