{{Hell}}
] manuscript of ] (about 1180)]]

'''Hell''', according to many ], is an ] of suffering where the wicked or unrighteous souls are punished.

Hell is usually depicted as underground. Within ] and ], Hell is traditionally depicted as fiery and painful.<ref> Numerous verses in the Qu'ran and New Testament.</ref> Some other traditions, however, portray Hell as cold and gloomy. Existence after life is not concrete in ] and may be portrayed as a state of neutrality, an eternal nothingness ("]", often mis-translated as hell), simply non-life.

Some theologies of Hell offer graphic and gruesome detail (for example, Hindu ]). Religions with a linear divine history often depict Hell as endless (for example, see ]). Religions with a ] often depict Hell as an intermediary period between ] (for example, see Chinese ]). Punishment in Hell typically corresponds to sins committed in life. Sometimes these distinctions are specific, with damned souls suffering for each wrong committed (see for example Plato's ] or Dante's ]), and sometimes they are general, with sinners being relegated to one or more chamber of Hell or level of suffering (for example, ] asserting that unbaptized infants, whom he believed to be deprived of Heaven, suffer less in Hell than unbaptized adults). In ] and ], however, ] and ] play a larger role than actions in determining a soul's afterlife destiny.

Hell is often portrayed populated with ]s, who torment the damned. Many are ruled by a death god, such as ], the Hindu ], or concepts of the Christian ].

In contrast to Hell, other general types of afterlives are abodes of the dead and paradises. Abodes of the dead are neutral places for all the dead (for example, see ]), rather than prisons of punishment for sinners. A paradise is a happy afterlife for some or all the dead (for example, see ]).

Modern understandings of Hell often depict it abstractly, as a state of loss rather than as fiery torture literally under the ground.

==Etymology==
The modern English word ''Hell'' is derived from Old English ''hel'', ''helle'' (about 725 AD) and ultimately from ] ''halja'', meaning "one who covers up or hides something". Germanic cognates exist in ] ''helle'', ''hille'', ] ''hellja'', ] ''helle'' (modern Dutch ''hel''), ] ''helle'' (Modern German '']'') and ] ''halja''.<ref name=HELETYM>] ''The Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology'' (1995) ISBN 0062700847</ref>

The English term is also possibly derived from Old Norse ''Hel''. Surviving 13th century ]ic representations of ] in the form of ] feature a female being named ], who is described as ruling over ], a location in ].

==Religious literature and beliefs==
]’s '']''. Illustration by ].]]
Hell appears in several ] and ]s. It is commonly inhabited by ]s and the ]s of dead people.
Hell is often depicted in art and literature, perhaps most famously in ]'s ].

===Bahá'í Faith===
The ] regards the conventional description of Hell (and heaven) as a specific place as symbolic.<ref name="lafd">{{cite book | title = Life After Death: A study of the afterlife in world religions | last = Masumian | first = Farnaz | publisher = Oneworld Publications | location = Oxford | year = 1995 | id = ISBN 1-85168-074-8}}</ref> Instead the ] describe Hell as a "spiritual condition" where remoteness from God is defined as Hell; conversely ] is seen as a state of closeness to God.<ref name="lafd" /> ], the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, has stated that the nature of the life of the soul in the afterlife is beyond comprehension in the physical plane,<ref name="lafd" /> but has stated that the soul will retain its consciousness and individuality and remember its physical life; the soul will be able to recognize other souls and communicate with them.<ref name="lafd" />

Bahá'u'lláh likened death to the process of birth. He explains: "The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the ] of its mother."<ref name="gwb">{{cite book |author=Bahá'u'lláh |authorlink=Bahá'u'lláh |year=1976 |title=Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh |publisher=Bahá'í Publishing Trust |location=Wilmette, Illinois, USA |id=ISBN 0-87743-187-6 | pages = pp. 157 |url=http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/GWB/gwb-81.html#pg157}}</ref> The analogy to the womb in many ways summarizes the Bahá'í view of earthly existence: just as the womb constitutes an important place for a person's initial physical development, the physical world provides for the development of the individual soul. Accordingly, Bahá'ís view life as a preparatory stage, where one can develop and perfect those qualities which will be needed in the next life.<ref name="lafd" /> The key to spiritual progress is to follow the path outlined by the current ], which Bahá'ís believe is currently Bahá'u'lláh. Bahá'u'lláh wrote, "Know thou, of a truth, that if the soul of man hath walked in the ways of God, it will, assuredly return and be gathered to the glory of the Beloved,"<ref name="gwb2">{{cite book |author=Bahá'u'lláh |authorlink=Bahá'u'lláh |year=1976 |title=Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh |publisher=Bahá'í Publishing Trust |location=Wilmette, Illinois, USA |id=ISBN 0-87743-187-6 | pages = pp. 162 |url=http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/GWB/gwb-82.html#gr7}}</ref>

The Bahá'í teachings state that there exists a hierarchy of souls in the afterlife, where the merits of each soul determines their place in the hierarchy, and that souls lower in the hierarchy cannot completely understand the station of those above.<ref name="lafd" /> Each soul can continue to progress in the afterlife, but the soul's development is not dependent on its own conscious efforts, but instead on the grace of God, the prayers of others, and good deeds performed by others on Earth in the name of the person.<ref name="lafd" />

===Buddhism===
{{main|Naraka (Buddhism)}}
], one of the buddhist Hells.]]

Most Buddhist schools of thought (], ], and ]) would acknowledge several Hells, which are places of great suffering for those who commit evil actions, such as cold Hells and hot Hells. Like all the different realms within cyclic existence, an existence in Hell is temporary for its inhabitants. Those with sufficiently negative ] are ] there, where they stay until their specific negative karma has been used up, at which point they are reborn in another realm, such as that of ], of ], of ], of ], of ], or of ] (Hell) all according to the individual's karma.

===Chinese religions===
{{main|Di Yu}}

In Chinese mythology, the name of ''Hell'' does not carry a negative connotation. The Hell they refer to is '']'' (trad. ??, simp. ??; lit. "underground hold/court"). Diyu is a maze of underground levels and chambers where souls are taken to atone for their earthly sins.

The popular story is that the word ''Hell'' was introduced to China by ] ], who preached that all non-Christian Chinese people would "go to Hell" when they die. As such, it was believed that the word "Hell" was the proper English term for the Chinese afterlife, and hence the word was adopted.

The Chinese view Hell as similar to a present day passport or immigration control station. In a Chinese funeral, they burn many Hell Bank Notes for the dead. With this Hell money, the dead person can bribe the ruler of Hell, and spend the rest of the money either in Hell or in Heaven. There is a belief that once the dead person runs out of Hell money, and if he does not receive more, he will be eternally poor.

===Christianity===
{{main|Hell in Christian beliefs}}

The Christian doctrine of hell derives from the teaching of the ], where hell is typically described using the Hebrew word '']''. Hell is the final destiny of those who have not accepted the Christ as their savior after they have passed through the great white throne of judgement <ref></ref> <ref></ref>, where they will be punished for ] after the ] and ]. However, in modern times some Christian theologians have 'adopted' alternative beliefs such as ] and ].<ref>''New Bible Dictionary'', "Hell", InterVarsity Press, 1996.</ref><ref>''New Dictionary of Biblical Theology'', "Hell", InterVarsity Press, 2000.</ref><ref>] Commission on Truth and Unity Among Evangelicals, ''The Nature of Hell'', Paternoster, 2000.</ref>

===Deism===
] is the belief that there is a ] that created the physical universe but does not interfere with it. It takes no position on what God may do outside the universe. Belief in a punishment in the afterlife is neither necessary for nor excluded by deism.{{Fact|date=September 2007}}

===Greek mythology===

===Hinduism===
{{main|Naraka}}
] (The Hindu god of death) with his consort ] and ] <br /> 17th century Painting from Government Museum, ].]]
In ], there are contradictions as to whether or not there is a Hell (referred to as 'Narak' in Hindi). For some it is a metaphor for a conscience. But in ] there is a mention of the ] going to Heaven and the ] going to Hell. Hells are also described in various ]s and other scriptures. Garuda Purana gives a detailed account on Hell, its features and enlists amount of punishment for most of the crimes like modern day penal code.

It is believed that people who commit 'paap' (sin) go to Hell and have to go through the punishments in accordance to the sins they committed.
The god ], who is also the god of death, is the king of Hell. The detailed accounts of all the sins committed by an individual are supposed to be kept by ] who is the record keeper in Yama's court. Chitragupta reads out the sins committed and Yama orders the appropriate punishments to be given to the individuals. These punishments include dipping in boiling oil, burning in fire, torture using various weapons etc. in various Hells. Individuals who finish their quota of the punishments are reborn according to their ]. All of the created are imperfect and thus have at least one sin to their record, but if one has led a generally pious life, one ascends to ], or ] after a brief period of expiation in Hell.

===Islam===
{{main|Jahannam}}
] believe in '']'' (in ]: جهنم) (which is related to the Hebrew word gehennim and resembles the versions of Hell in ]). In the ], the holy book of ], there are literal descriptions of the condemned in a fiery Hell, as contrasted to the garden-like ] ('']'') enjoyed by righteous believers.

In addition, Heaven and Hell are split into many different levels depending on the actions perpetrated in life, where punishment is given depending on the level of evil done in life, and good is separated into other levels depending on how well one followed God while alive.

There is an equal number of mentions of both Hell and paradise in the Qur'an, which is considered by believers to be among the numeric miracles in the Qur'an.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

The Islamic concept of Hell is similar to the medieval Christian view of ].{{Fact|date=June 2007}} However, Satan is not viewed as Hell's ruler, merely one of its sufferers. The gate of Hell is guarded by ] also known as ''Zabaaniyah''. The ] states that the fuel of Hellfire is rocks/stones (]) and human beings.

Names of Hell according to Islamic Tradition based on the Quranic ayah and Hadith:
*Jahim
*Hutamah
*Jahannam
*Ladza
*Hawiah
*Saqor
*Sae'er
*Sijjin
*Zamhareer

Although generally Hell is often portrayed as a hot steaming and tormenting place for sinners there is one Hell pit which is characterized differently from the other Hell in Islamic tradition. ''Zamhareer'' is seen as the coldest and the most freezing Hell of all, yet its coldness is not seen as a pleasure or a relief to the sinners who committed crimes against God. The state of the Hell of Zamhareer is a suffering of extreme coldness of ]s ice and snow which no one on this earth can bear.

The lowest pit of all existing Hells is the Hawiyah which is meant for the Hypocrites and two-faced people who claimed to believe in Allah and His messenger by the tongue but denounced both in their hearts. Hypocrisy is considered to be the most dangerous sin of all (despite the fact that ] is the greatest sin viewed by Allah). According to the Qur'an, all non-believers who have received and rejected Islamic teachings for reasons unknown will go to Hell.

The Qur'an also says that those who are damned to Hell are not damned forever, but instead for an indefinite period of time. In any case, there is good reason to believe that punishment in Hell is not meant to actually last eternally, but instead serves as a basis for spiritual rectification.<ref> 1, William C. Chittick, Imaginal Worlds: Ibn al-‘Arab? and the Problem of Religious Diversity. Albany, N.Y.: State University of New York Press, 1994. 2. See Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah. H??d? al-Arw?h?, ed. M. ibn Ibr?h?m al-zaghl?. Al-Damm?m, Saudi Arabia: Ram?d? lil-Nashr, 1997.</ref>

Even though in Islam, the devil, or ''shaitan,'' is created from fire, he suffers in Hell because Hellfire is 70 times hotter than the fire of this world. It was also said that Shaytan is derived from shata, (literally `burned'), because it was created from a smokeless fire.<ref name="islamnewsrm">{{cite web |url=http://www.islamnewsroom.com/content/view/126/42/ |title=Islam News Room|accessdate=2007-05-03 }}</ref>

Also, see Zikri and Ahmadiyya faiths.

===Judaism===
Daniel 12:2 proclaims "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt."
] does not have a specific doctrine about the afterlife, but it does have a mystical/Orthodox tradition of describing ]. Gehenna is not Hell, but rather a sort of ] where one is judged based on his or her life's deeds, or rather, where one becomes fully aware of one's own shortcomings and negative actions during one's life. The ] describes it as a "waiting room" (commonly translated as an "entry way") for all souls (not just the wicked). The overwhelming majority of rabbinic thought maintains that people are not in ] forever; the longest that one can be there is said to be 11 months, however there has been the occasional noted exception. Some consider it a spiritual forge where the soul is purified for its eventual ascent to ] (''heb.'' ???? ???; ''lit.'' "The world to come", often viewed as analogous to ]). This is also mentioned in the ], where the soul is described as breaking, like the flame of a candle lighting another: the part of the soul that ascends being pure and the "unfinished" piece being reborn.

According to Jewish teachings, hell is completely not physical; rather, it can be compared to a very intense feeling of shame. People are ashamed of their misdeeds and this constitutes suffering which makes up for the bad deeds.

When one has so deviated from the will of ], one is said to be in ]. This is not meant to refer to some point in the future, but to the very present moment. The gates of ] (return) are said to be always open, and so one can align his will with that of God at any moment. Being out of alignment with God's will is itself a punishment according to the ].

Also, Subbotniks and Messianic Judaism believe in Gehenna, but Samaritans probably believe in a separation of the wicked in a shadowy existence, Sheol, and the righteous in heaven.

===Maya faith===
In ] ,'']'' is the dangerous ] of nine levels ruled by the demons '']'' and '']''. The road into and out of it is said to be steep, thorny and very forbidding. '']'' is the lowest and most horrible of the nine Hells of the ],it is ruled by '']''. Ritual healers would intone healing prayers banishing diseases to ''Metnal''. Much of the ] describes the adventures of the ] in their cunning struggle with the evil lords of ''Xibalbá''.

===Taoism===
Ancient ] had no concept of Hell, as morality was seen to be a man-made distinction and there was no concept of an immaterial soul. In its home country ], where Taoism adopted tenets of other religions, popular belief endows Taoist Hell with many deities and spirits who punish sin in a variety of horrible ways. This is also considered Karma for Taoism.

===Unification Church===

The ] teaches that Hell was not created before Adam and Eve were born, because it was never God's intention for Hell to exist at all. But before they could achieve perfection, they lost ], ] and ].

Hell is the condition of being separated from God's love. Hell can be said to exist in this world as well as in the afterlife. Those in the state of Hell can repent by paying a condition of indemnity and change their condition, both before and after death (Although, the process is done differently). The ], the main textbook of church teachings, says:

:It is not God who decides whether a person's spirit enters heaven or Hell upon his death; it is decided by the spirit himself. Humans are created so that once they reach perfection they will fully breathe the love of God. Those who committed sinful deeds while on earth become crippled spirits who are incapable of fully breathing in the love of God. They find it agonizing to stand before God, the center of true love. Of their own will, they choose to dwell in Hell, far removed from the love of God.<ref></ref>

A medium who says she has received messages from Unification Church members in the ] says that Dr. ] has conducted a tour of hell and described its inhabitants.<ref></ref>

===Zoroastrianism===
The Gathas mention a "House of the Lie" where those who had more bad thoughts, words, and deeds go. Over the history of this faith they have believed in annihilation of the wicked, purgation of the wicked in molten metal and in eternal punishment. It is difficult to find which one is correct because they all have standing in Zoroastor's writings.

===Other Hells===

The hells of Europe include Briton Mythology's “Anaon”, ]'s “]”, the hell of Lapps Mythology
and Ugarian Mythology's “Manala” leads to annihilation. The hells in the Middle East include ]'s “Aralu”; the hells of Canaanite Mythology, Hittite Mythology and ]; the weighing of the heart in ] can lead to annihilation. The hells of Asia include Bagobo Mythology's “Gimokodan” and Ancient ]'s “Kalichi". African hells include Haida Mythology's “Hetgwauge” and the hell of Swahili Mythology. The hells of the Americas include ]'s “Mictlan”, ]'s “Adlivun” and Yanomamo Mythology's “Shobari Waka”. The Oceanic hells include Samoan Mythology's “O le nu'u-o-nonoa” and the hells of Bangka Mythology and Caroline Islands Mythology.

==Hell in literature==
In his '']'' ('Divine comedy'; set in the year ]), ] employed the conceit of taking Virgil as his guide through ] (and then, in the second cantiche, up the mountain of ]). Virgil himself is not condemned to Hell in Dante's poem but is rather, as a virtuous pagan, confined to ] just at the edge of Hell. The geography of Hell is very elaborately laid out in this work, with nine concentric rings leading deeper into the Earth and deeper into the various punishments of Hell, until, at the center of the world, Dante finds Satan himself trapped in the frozen lake of ]. A small tunnel leads past Satan and out to the other side of the world, at the base of the Mount of Purgatory.

]'s '']'' (]) opens with the ], including their leader ], waking up in Hell after having been defeated in the war in heaven and the action returns there at several points throughout the poem. Milton portrayes Hell as the abode of the demons, and the passive prison from which they plot their revenge upon Heaven through the corruption of the human race.

19th century French poet ] alluded to the concept as well in the title and themes of one of his major works, "]". Rimbaud's poetry portrays his own suffering in a poetic form as well as other themes.

] In Hell (1850).jpg|right|thumb|250px|''Dante And Virgil In Hell'' - ]]]
Many of the great epics of European literature include episodes that occur in Hell. In the Roman poet ]'s Latin epic, the '']'', Aeneas descends into Dis (the underworld) to visit his father's spirit. The underworld is only vaguely described, with one unexplored path leading to the punishments of Tartarus, while the other leads through Erebus and the Elysian Fields.

In the 1903 play "]", ] pictures Hell as a place of idle worship of youth and beauty.

The idea of Hell was highly influential to writers such as ] who authored the 1944 play "]" about the idea that "Hell is other people". Although not a religious man, Sartre was fascinated by his interpretation of a Hellish state of suffering.

]'s '']'' (]) borrows its title from ]'s '']'' (]) and its inspiration from the ] as the narrator is likewise guided through Hell and Heaven. Hell is portrayed here as an endless, desolate twilight city upon which night is imperceptibly sinking. The night is actually the ], and it heralds the arrival of the demons after their judgment. Before the night comes, anyone can escape Hell if they leave behind their former selves and accept Heaven's offer, and a journey to Heaven reveals that Hell is infinitely small; it is nothing more or less than what happens to a soul that turns away from God and into itself.

The 1976 novel '']'' by ] and ] is set in
Dante's Hell with 20th century protagonists.

In 1981, ] by ] the central character, ] is taken on a visit to Hell by ] who charges von Bek with recovering the ] (the world's pain of the title) in order to attempt a reconciliation between ] and Lucifer.

In ], by ], Hell is a nightclub in which jewels are traded for ].

==Hell in popular culture==
{{main|Hell in popular culture}}
==Taboos, euphemisms, and sayings==
The word "Hell" used away from its religious context was long considered to be ], particularly in North America. Although its use was commonplace in everyday speech and on television by the 1970s, many people in the US still consider it somewhat rude or inappropriate language, particularly involving children.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04036/269490.stm|title=Girl suspended for saying h-e-double-hockey-sticks|publisher=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|date=]}}</ref>
Many, particularly among religious circles and in certain sensitive <!-- ???--> environments, still avoid casual usage of the word. In ] and some parts of North America, the word has fallen into common use and is not considered profane; often considered to be a safer and less offensive alternative to swearing, as in the phrase, "Go to Hell."{{Fact|date=February 2008}}

===Euphemistic ways of saying Hell===
"Hell" is sometimes used as a ], "''heck''". Another common euphemism for Hell is "The Other Place".<ref>In the ], this is also used by members of the ] to refer to the ], and vice-versa. In addition, it was used by ] as a silent threat addressed to Claudius and as a hint to Polonius's location.</ref>
Example: "Gosh darn you to heck and tarnation" in place of "May God damn you to Hell and eternal damnation."

===Cold day in Hell===
Another example of common use of “Hell” in daily language, a “cold day in Hell” is a ] and an ] for a most unlikely event, since most imagery of Hell depicts it as hot and fiery. Therefore, an event that will transpire “on a cold day in Hell” will never occur. Similar or related phrases include: “a snowball's chance in Hell”, "a cat in hell's chance", “when the devil goes ice-skating” and “when Hell freezes over", which was used as the title for the rock band ] first album in 14 years, referring to statements by the band that The Eagles would reunite when ].

Another idiom relating to Hell, that would be used with a request is, "...and people in hell want ice water".

In ], the innermost circle of Hell is represented as a frozen lake of blood and guilt.{{Fact|date=February 2008}}
