The Importance of Seeking Protection from Hellfire

Hellfire is not just a symbolic warning – it is the reality of unimaginable pain and regret. It awaits those who reject faith, neglect repentance and persist in sinful deeds.

Seeking refuge from hellfire is an act of humility, a plea for Allah’s mercy and a reminder of His forgiveness.

It makes us more aware of our actions and brings us closer to Allah’s mercy, increasing our chances of salvation.

"وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ"

— [Surah Infitar, 82:10-12]

Even in silence, we are seen. Even in solitude, we are recorded. The noble scribes, Kiraman Katibin, never miss a word, a glance, or a breath of intention.

Let this be a gentle reminder:

Our lives are not only being lived — they are being written.
