And the lightest punishment in Hell will be for the person who will be made to wear shoes of fire, due to which his brain will boil. His lips and molars will be of fire. All the people of Hell will flow in it like a few grains in a lot of water.

On that day, Hell will take three breaths. After the first breath, no eye will have any tears left, to the extent that blood will begin to flow. The second time, all people will fall to their knees and plead, 'O Lord, myself, myself,' even Allah’s friend Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him). And the third time, O Umar! Even if you have the deeds of seventy prophets, you will still be afraid until you know which group you belong to."
