Abstract

Hell is a form of punishment that has been prepared by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for His servants who violate Him and defy His commands. Hell is a place filled with suffering, misery, and despair. Hamka explains the meanings contained in the Qur'an in simple language, and relates these verses to a social context. Hamka's view of hell is very interesting, in that he describes hell as a place of torment for those who disobey Allah, and there are countless kinds of physical and psychological suffering. This research uses library research method with a thematic approach or maudhu'i. The object of this study is Hamka's interpretation of verses that explain the position and torment of hell. The main source of this research is Hamka's Tafsir Al-Azhar in all volumes that include relevant verses. The conclusion of the study is as follows: First, Hamka describes hell as a place of return for those who disobey God's commands and deny His verses. Second, in hell there are various forms of torment, both physical and psychic, experienced only by those who defy God's commands and reject His verses.
