DRIVING THE INFIDELS TO HELL-FIRE

From the land of gathering Allah (SWT) will drive the infidels to the Hellfire after taking accounts. Allah (SWT) says: “The unbelievers will be led to Hell in groups….” (XXXIX: 71) Allah (SWT) also says: “The Day they shall be thrust down to the Fire of Hell irresistibly.” (LII: 13)

Other texts show that they will be led to Hellfire on their faces and not as they used to walk by their legs in this life. Allah (SWT) says: “Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces. They will be in an evil plight, and, as to Path, most astray.” (XXV: 34) 

On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, both al-Bukhari and Muslim reported that a man said: “O Allah's Messenger, how will the non-believers be gathered on the Day of Resurrection on their faces?” Thereupon he said: “Is He Who made them walk on their feet not powerful enough to make them (crawl) on their faces on the Day of Resurrection?” Qatada said: “Of course, it is so, by the Might of our Lord.”[17]
