Question:
He asks: Is it understood from the saying of the Exalted, “
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
[Al-A'la 87:12]
,” that there is a lesser fire?

Answer:
This world is fire, this world is fire, this world is fire. The fire of the Hereafter is more severe.
and said, "Do not go forth in the heat." Say, "The fire of Hell is more intensive in heat" - if they would but understand.وَقَالُوا لَا تَنفِرُوا فِي الْحَرِّ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدُّ حَرًّا لَّوْ كَانُوا يَفْقَهُونَ
[At-Tawbah 9:81]
And the fire of this world is a reminder of the fire of the Hereafter.

[Al-Waqi'ah 56:71-73]
It reminds one of the fire of the Hereafter. Yes.
