Is it true that Pharaoh will suffer the most severe torment on the Day of Judgment?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Pharaoh and his people will suffer the most severe torment on the Day of Resurrection due to their arrogance, oppression, and claim to divinity. They will be joined in this by the hypocrites, those among the People of the Table who disbelieved, and the Jews. Some scholars are of the opinion that the person who will suffer the most severe torment is one who killed a prophet or was killed by a prophet, and the leader of misguidance. Therefore, it cannot be definitively stated that Pharaoh will suffer the most severe torment of all without a legal proof.
