A fierce red color clouded her vision. She tried to open her eyes, but couldn't. She felt around the rock she was sitting on, then pulled her hand away as she touched something that felt like scalding metal. Then, she suddenly realized that her eyes were open; everything was red.
She felt scalding, liquefied metal run over her face. She gave a bloodcurdling scream. After a few seconds of feeling the liquid run over her body, everything stopped. She found her chance to get away from this torture. Finally, she could see clearly, so she stumbled as fast as she could in her bare feet over the rocky, scalding terrain.
She ran for a while until she saw a glass door. She saw through the glass a sunny, bright day with soft green grass and sweet-smelling flowers. She imagined a cool breeze as she watched the flowers sway.
Just as she reached the handle of the door, she felt two hands grab her ankles, making her tumble, pulling her back into the fire. "No!" She screamed as she was dragged back to where she started.
"Taste the torment of conflagration!" A voice screamed.
Again, the hot metal began to wash over her. She tried to scream, but the metal poured into her mouth. She was trapped until the hands released her.
As soon as they did, she tried to make a break for it. But the same thing happened when she reached the door; she was dragged back. She was trapped in her hell.

In the Islamic tradition, it is believed that unfaithful Muslims who were not true to their faith would be punished in Jahannam, but would eventually be forgiven. In addition, some Muslims believe that non-Muslims will burn in Jahannam forever.
Prophet Mohammed had a dark belief of what Muslims should believe and follow. Mohammed told his followers how to treat non-Muslims and where non-Muslims would end up in the afterlife.
According to Mohammed, hell, or Jahannam, is not to punish Muslim wrong-doers, but to punish non-believers. Mohammed promised beautiful virgins and young boys to all Muslims, regardless of wrong-doings, in the afterlife. It was believed that Mohammed's recommendation was final and Allah, the Islamic god, could not deny it. Specifically, hell is reserved for all Hindus, Jews, Sikhs and Christians.
Mohammed preached that unbelievers would be tortured with scalding water poured upon their heads, melting their skin; they would be beaten with iron rods; and when unbelievers tried to escape, they would be dragged back and told, "Taste the torment of conflagration!"
The unbelievers would also be surrounded by walls of fire, and when they would scream, they would be showered with molten brass, scalding their faces. They would also choke on food.
