About: Sijjin

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Sijjin (Arabic: سِجِّين lit. Netherworld, Underworld, Chthonian World) is in Islamic belief either a prison, vehement torment or straitened circumstances at the bottom of Jahannam or hell, below the earth (compare Greek Tartarus), or, according to a different interpretation, a register for the damned or record of the wicked, which is mentioned in Quran 83:7. Sijjin is also considered to be a place for the souls of unbelievers until resurrection.

  • سِجِّين هو سجن صغير ضيق وهو مصطلح قرآني يشير إلى مكان يذهب إليه الفجار أو كتاب الفجار بعد موتهم. وسجين حسب قول أغلب المُفسرين في الْأَرْضُ السَّابِعَةُ السُّفْلَى وقيل في السماء الدنيا، ذُكر في سورة المطففين كنقيض لـ عليون. (ar)

Sijjin is also considered to be a place for the souls of unbelievers until resurrection. The idea that there is a hell underneath earth's surface roots in the Quran, which speaks about "seven earths" (65:12), while describing hell as a subterranean pit, divided into seven compartments. Thus, many Muslim authors coincided hell with layers of the earth with sijjin at the bottom. For the lowest layer of hell, the term al-asfal is used too. The antithesis of Sijjin is Illiyin. (en)
