"The road to hell is paved with good intentions The road to hell is paved with good intentions is a proverb or aphorism. An alternative form is ""Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works"". The saying is thought to have originated with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux who wrote ( 1150), """"L'enfer est plein de bonnes volontés ou désirs"""" (hell is full of good wishes or desires). An earlier saying occurs in Virgil's ""Aeneid"": """"facilis descensus Averno"" (the descent to hell is easy)"". A common interpretation of the saying is that wrongdoings or evil actions"
"my Right, Hell on my Left, and the Angel of Death Behind"". As-Sirāt As-Sirāt ( ""aṣ-ṣirāṭ"") is, according to Islam, the hair-narrow bridge which every human must pass on the Yawm ad-Din (""Day of the Way of Life"" i.e. Day of Judgment) to enter Paradise. It is said that it is as thin as a hair and as sharp as the sharpest knife or sword, and at one end it will be hung at the eastern wall of Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount).

"Highway to Hell (song) ""Highway to Hell"" is the opening track of AC/DC's 1979 album ""Highway to Hell"". It was initially released as a single in 1979. The song was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott, with Angus Young credited for writing the guitar riff which became an instant classic. AC/DC had made several studio albums before and were constantly promoting them via a grueling tour schedule, referred to by Angus Young as being on a highway to hell. The song's title reflects the incredibly arduous nature of touring constantly and life on the road. The single"

While hell is usually described as hot, there is one pit (""Zamhareer"") characterized in Islamic tradition as unbearably cold, with blizzards, ice, and snow. Polytheism (""shirk"") is a particularly grievous sin therefore entering Paradise is forbidden for a polytheist ""(musyrik)"" because his place is Hell; and the lowest pit of Hell (""Hawiyah""), is intended for hypocrites who claimed aloud to believe in God and his messenger but in their hearts did not."
"Jahannam Jahannam () in Islam refers to an afterlife place of punishment for evildoers. The punishments are carried in accordance with the degree of evil one has done during his life. In Quran, Jahannam is also referred as ""al-Nar"" (""The Fire""), ""Jaheem"" (""Blazing Fire""), ""Hutamah"" (""That which Breaks to Pieces"" ), ""Haawiyah"" (""The Abyss""), ""Ladthaa"" , ""Sa’eer"" (""The Blaze""), ""Saqar"" . and also the names of different gates to hell. Suffering in hell is both physical and spiritual, and varies according to the sins of the condemned. As described in the Quran, Hell has seven levels (each one more severe"

They are linked together in chains of 70 cubits, wearing pitch for clothing and fire on their faces, have boiling water that will be poured over their heads, melting their insides as well as their skins, and hooks of iron to drag them back should they try to escape, their remorseful admissions of wrongdoing and pleading for forgiveness are in vain. The description of Jahannam as a place of blazing fire appears in almost every verse in the Qur'an describing hell. Jahannam is described as being located below heaven, having seven gates, each for a specific group or"
"Seven Gates of Hell The Seven Gates of Hell is a modern urban legend regarding locations in York County, Pennsylvania. Two versions of the legend exist, one involving a burnt insane asylum and the other an eccentric doctor. Both agree that there are seven gates in a wooded area of Hellam Township, Pennsylvania, and that anyone who passes through all seven goes straight to Hell. The location in question never housed an institution; the aforementioned doctor only constructed one gate, to keep out trespassers. Note: this is private land subjecting visitors to trespassing charges. There are two popular versions of"
"Out of Hell"" was written by Marilyn Manson, Twiggy Ramirez, and produced by Manson with Sean Beavan. The track is an arena rock and gothic rock song with a length of four minutes and twenty-one seconds. The title of the song is a reference to John Milton's epic poem ""Paradise Lost"" (1667), wherein Satan says: ""long is the way/ And hard, that out of Hell leads up to light."" The song's lyrics are about self-loathing. According to A.A. Dowd of ""The A.V. Club"", ""Long Hard Road Out of Hell"" resembles the music of Marilyn Manson, particularly songs from ""Antichrist Superstar"""

Gehenna was a trash dump next to Jerusalem in the Hinnom valley, where the dead bodies of criminals as well as trash were burned. The valley was named after a man named Hinnom who had owned it. It had at one time been used as a place to sacrifice live children to Pagan Gods. What exactly the ""salt"" Jesus was referring to was is unclear. Jesus relates it to fire, the good, and peace.

A narrow and slippery bridge provides the only means of traversing this river safely. When Owein calls upon the name of Jesus the bridge widens enough for him to cross comfortably.

At least one hadith indicates the importance of faith in avoiding hell, stating: ""... no one will enter Hell in whose heart is an atom’s weight of faith.” Some of the Quranic parables describing the sufferings in hell resemble those of the Christian New testament. The Book of Revelation describes a ""lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death"", which most Christians believe to be a description of Hell, comparable to ""Jahannam"" as ""the fire"". While the Quran describes ""Jahannam"" as having seven levels, each for different sins, the Bible (as regards the issue"

Not all Muslims and scholars agree whether hell is an eternal destination or whether some or even all of the condemned will eventually be forgiven and allowed to enter paradise. Most of how Muslims picture and think about Jahannam comes from the Qur'an, according to scholar Einar Thomassen, who found nearly 500 references to Jahannam/hell (using a variety of names) in the Qur'an. Jahannam appears in the Qur'an 77 times, ""Al-Jaheem"" 23 times. The Qur'an uses"

Erasmus recorded it as an ancient proverb in his ""Adagia"", although the earliest known instance is in the ""Alexandreis"", a 12th-century Latin epic poem by Walter of Châtillon.

"Gates of hell The gates of hell are various places on the surface of the world that have acquired a legendary reputation for being entrances to the underworld. Often they are found in regions of unusual geological activity, particularly volcanic areas, or sometimes at lakes, caves or mountains. Legends from both ancient Greece and Rome record stories of mortals who entered or were abducted into the netherworld through such gates. Aeneas visited the underworld, entering through a cave at the edge of Lake Avernus on the Bay of Naples. Hercules entered the Underworld from this same spot. In the middle"

Thereafter, it was deemed to be cursed (, ). In rabbinic literature and Christian and Islamic scripture, Gehenna is a destination of the wicked. This is different from the more neutral Sheol/Hades, the abode of the dead, although the King James Version of the Bible usually translates both with the Anglo-Saxon word Hell. In the King James Version of the Bible, the term appears 13 times in 11 different verses as Valley of"
