The Difference Between the Fire of the Disbelievers and the Fire of the Sinners

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is the fire by which the disbelievers are punished the same fire by which the sinners are punished, or is it lighter?

Answer:
It is the fire. The fire is the same, may Allah protect us, but the fire has levels, some more severe than others. The people of the Fire vary in their punishment; some are punished more severely than others. Otherwise, it is the fire for everyone: the fire of the disbelievers, the fire of the hypocrites, and the fire of the sinners among the monotheists. The difference lies only in their eternal abode in it.
The difference lies in two matters. The first is that the punishment of the fire varies according to the crimes; some of its people are punished less severely than others. The second is that the sinners among the believers will not remain in it forever, even if they are punished. As for the disbelievers, the hypocrites, the polytheists, and the atheists, they will be punished in it forever, eternally, remaining in it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
