# thought-provoking information I was going through the tafsir of Surah Waqiyah when I came across this *tree of Zaqqum* which made me curious enough to google it and this is what I found. The Tree of Zaqqum is some of the food that the people of Hell will eat from. The Tree of Zaqqum is so awful, if a drop of Zaqqum was to be placed on this Earth, everything on Earth will be ruined.When consumed it will be like molten brass but worse. It will scald and burn their faces and their insides. The people of Hell will be so hungry that they will rush down to the pits of the fire to eat anything that they can find. Here, they will be forced to eat from the Tree of Zaqqum. Even before touch, their own lips will burn and expose their teeth. Not only that, but they will swallow thorn like pieces that will rip away their flesh and insides as it is swallowed. Before it even settles in their stomach it will burn away through their flesh and empty out. For the disbelievers and those Muslims who die without Eman, they will never ever taste or even smell the scent of food or drink. Even some Muslims who will eventually come out of Hell, they will have to endure thousands and thousands of years of unbelievable torture along with further punishment from such "food" of the people of Hell, and each day in Hell is equal to a thousand years on Earth! So can you imagine the length of time having to spend in Hell! This is a wake up call for some Muslims and made me shudder. I hope we all realize the severity of our sins and may Allah protect us from all kinds of sins, Ameen.
