Dear Islamic brothers! Alongside adopting pious deeds at all times, we should also seek refuge from Hell, remaining fearful of it. This also has many virtues and blessings. Allah Almighty has mentioned those who seek refuge from Hell at several places in the Holy Quran.

Allah Almighty states:

اَلَّذِیْنَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَاۤ اٰمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوْبَنَا وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِۚ(۱۶)

Those who say, ’O our Lord! We have accepted faith, (we plead) so, forgive our sins and save us from the punishment of Hell.’

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Surah Aal-e-Imraan, Verse 16)

He Almighty further states:

الَّذِیْنَ  یَذْكُرُوْنَ  اللّٰهَ  قِیٰمًا  وَّ  قُعُوْدًا  وَّ  عَلٰى  جُنُوْبِهِمْ  وَ  یَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ  فِیْ  خَلْقِ  السَّمٰوٰتِ  وَ  الْاَرْضِۚ-رَبَّنَا  مَا  خَلَقْتَ  هٰذَا  بَاطِلًاۚ-سُبْحٰنَكَ  فَقِنَا  عَذَابَ  النَّارِ(۱۹۱)

Those who remember Allah (whilst) standing, and sitting, and lying on their sides, and contemplate on the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying), ‘O our Lord, You have not created this in vain. Glory be to You; so, save us from the punishment of the Fire.’

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 4, Surah Aal-e-Imraan, Verse 191)

In another place, He Almighty has said:

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَبِیْتُوْنَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَّ قِیَامًا(۶۴) وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ ﳓ اِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًاۗۖ(۶۵) اِنَّهَا سَآءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَّ مُقَامًا(۶۶)

And those who spend the night prostrating and standing for their Lord. And those who submit, ‘O our Lord, avert the punishment of
