Creation of the Hellfire

[Abu Ismaeel]

Assalaamu 'Alaikum wa RahmatAllahi wa Barakatuh.

Recently, I heard something that caught my attention in a lecture off a CD by Anwar Al-Awlaki from his set titled "The Hereafter". It was in regard to the creation of the Hellfire.

He said that when Allah created the Hellfire it was blue and He burned it for 1000 years and then it turned white. He then burned it for another 1000 years until it turned black. It was something along these lines.

If anyone has a Hadeeth or excerpt from the Qur'an to back this statement up, it would be very nice.

What brought this to my attention lately is that I was reading up on Quantum Theory as part of my homework for Chemistry. It states in the book the following:

Kirchhoff was interested in the light emitted by blackbodies. The term "blackbody" is used to describe an ideal, perfectly black object that does not reflect any light, and emits various forms of light (electromagnetic radiation) as a result of its temperature.

As a solid is heated to higher and higher temperatures, it begins to glow. Initially, it appears red and then becomes white when the temperature increases. Recall that white light is a combination of all colours, so the light emitted by the hotter object must now be accompanied by, for example, blue light.

I concluded that there may be a connection and here another scientific fact proven earlier in the times of Muhammad SAWS, possibly?

AstaghfirAllah, and forgive me if I'm wrong. Any input would be appreciated. JazakAllahukhair.

Assalaamu 'Alaikum wa RahmatAllahi wa Barakatuh.

Assalamo Alaikum wa Rahmatullah

ALLAH says in Quran that HE created everything in six dayes (complete). So we can not say anything about the creation except the limited knowledge gien to us.

ALLAH KNOWS and we dont know.

assalamo alaikum wa rahmatullah.

But brother Minhas Allah also say in Quran that one day in His time equals 1000 of what we count.

I will quote the Ayha later Insh aAllah

[_ME_]

نار الله الموقدة، نار أُوقد عليها ألف سنة حتى احمرَّت، ثم أوقد عليها ألف سنة حتى ابيضَّت، ثم أوقد عليها ألف سنة حتى اسودَّت، فهي سوداء مظلمة. [رواه الترمذي].

[Muslimah]

Jazakum Allah Khairan Me for posting the hadeeth, r u a native arabic, can u translate it or shalllll I???

[Muslimah]

as salam alykom

Here are the ayah's

"And they ask you to hasten on the torment! And Allâh fails not His Promise. And verily, a day with your Lord is as a thousand years of what you reckon" (Quran 22: 47)

"He manages and regulates (every) affair from the heavens to the earth; then it (affair) will go up to Him, in one Day, the space whereof is a thousand years of your reckoning (i.e. reckoning of our present world’s time)" (Quran 32:5)

[_ME_]

well it's your job right?

BTW I think the hadeeth (so please do translate it) is the answer to our Bro's post, I dont think the ayah is that related, cause hell could have been created in the six days then burned for the next 3k years.

here is the translation of the hadeeth:

Allah's burning Hell fire, is a fire which was ignited for thousand years till it turned red, then ignited for thousand years till it turned white, then ignited for thousand years till it turned black, therefore it is dark black" (reported by Termidhi)

[Amatullah]

I did a quick search and the hadiths I found about this are either weak or fabricated, but maybe there is one that is authentic that I didn't come across, so please make sure of the authenticity of the hadith.
