Another reason to read the Qur'an, even if one is Christian, is because there is a frequent and healthy mention of the reality of hell. There is a terrible smugness about many Christians, who either mitigate their belief in hell, or too quickly assume their avoidance of it. I count over fifty references to it. Listed in the index, here are specific topics under the title of hell: a place of ambush, blazing in fury, breaks to pieces, filled with jinn and men, fuel is men and stones, inhabitant there is viewed by former companion in Paradise, insatiable, neither dying nor living there, penalty of Eternity, and placed in full view. Read this:
Surah 66:6-7
O you who believe! save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones; over it are angels stern and strong, they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them, and do as they are commanded.
O you who disbelieve! do not urge excuses today; you shall be rewarded only according to what you did.
