Guidance
Read descriptions of the Quran on the punishment of hellfire to remind you of the ultimate consequence for those who disbelieve. Make it a habit to make dua that Allah protects you from facing such a horrific punishment. You can make the following dua as a daily way of seeking Allah’s protection.
رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا
rabbanā iṣrif ʿannā ʿadhāba jahannam(a), inna ʿadhābahā kāna gharāmā
“Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell. Indeed, its punishment is ever adhering.” (Quran 25:65)
