DOJAKA (DOZAKHA)

DOJAKA (DOZAKHA) How can he be saved from Dojaka (Dozakha—hell), who does not keep the Prophet in his mind? (Var Gauri M. 5, pp. 319-20) Forsaking the diamond-like Han, if people rely on any other, they will go to Dojaka (Dozakha), Ravidas says this Truth. (Shalok Kabir, p. 1377) The Muslims use the word \’Dozakha\’ for hell. Seven divisions of hell have been described in Muslim commentaries : 1. Johunnam: the purgatorial hell. 2. Laza: blazing fire 3. Al-Hutamah: an intense fire. 4. Saeer: a flaming fire. 5. Saqar: a scorching fire. 6. Al-Jahim: a huge hot fire; and 7. Hawiyah: a bottomless pit. Different types of souls categorised by their actions are sent to different hells.
