About What Leads to Hell

What Leads to Hell is an English Islamic book by Dr Abdul Karim Awad that reminds readers of the two eternal destinations spoken of in the Qur’an and the Sunnah: Paradise for the righteous and Hell for those who persist in wrongdoing.

For the publisher and page count of the copy in stock, please message us on WhatsApp at 9906523492.

The book begins from a simple truth: Allah has given every person a lifespan and the ability to think and choose, and what we do with that time decides our destination. It then looks at the actions, both major and minor, that Islamic teaching warns can lead a person towards the Fire.

What the book covers

• The reality of Paradise and Hell as the final results of how people live
• Major sins and everyday faults that Islam warns will harm a believer in the Hereafter
• The responsibility each person carries, since Allah gave us life and the power to choose
• Reminders to turn back to Allah Almighty in sincere repentance before it is too late
• Practical encouragement to move towards the deeds that lead to Paradise

Why a book on what leads to Hell is still needed

Modern life is busy and noisy, and many of us postpone serious thought about the Hereafter. Yet the Qur’an repeatedly reminds believers to guard themselves and their families against the Fire. A reminder of what leads to Hell is not meant to create despair. It is meant to create awareness, because a person who knows what is dangerous can avoid it. The Prophet ﷺ taught that Allah’s mercy is vast and that the door of repentance stays open while a person lives. Fear of the punishment and hope in the mercy of Allah must go together, and a balanced book on this topic helps the reader hold both.

Many sins feel small because we are used to them: a careless word, a neglected prayer, a debt left unpaid, a grudge kept alive. Reading about what leads to Hell helps the reader to notice such habits early and to correct them while there is still time.

Who should read this book

• Muslims who want a sincere reminder about accountability on the Day of Judgement
• Parents who wish to teach their older children about right and wrong from an Islamic view
• Students of Islamic knowledge looking for an English title on this subject
• Study circles and weekly reminder gatherings
• Anyone who wishes to return to Allah and improve their daily conduct
