Woe: the hottest, narrowest and deepest valley in hell is waiting

                                                                                         

Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to introduce to help them.

In the Noble Quran, verse 14:2 says that:
Allah, to who belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants. In other words, unto whom belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of creation and wondrous things.
(And woe unto the disbelievers from an awful doom, a severe torment)
It is said that "Woe" here refers to the hottest, narrowest and deepest valley in hell. This valley would cry: “O Lord! My heat is intense, my width is very narrow and my depth is so deep, so let me take revenge on those who disobeyed you and make that nothing takes revenge against me”,
And woe to the disbelievers from a terrible chastisement,

Then verse 14:3 describes the disbelievers who deserve this "Woe"
Those who love, choose and prefer the life of the world more than the Hereafter,
And debar men from the way of Allah,
And save people from Allah's religion and obedience
And would have it crooked
And they would have it differently than it actually is:
Such the disbelievers are far astray from the Truth and guidance;
It is also said that this means: they are in manifest error.
