Sijjin
Sijjīn (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), which is mentioned in Quran 83:7. Sijjin is also considered to be a place for the souls of disbelievers 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.(15:44) 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.
