Hell in Different Languages: Most people are concerned about what happens after they die, which is one of their greatest fears. It is usually believed that after death people who are “bad” will go to a place called hell. Many theories have been put forward about where hell is located. According to traditional beliefs, hell is located at the center of the earth. According to some, hell is also located outside the Earth inside a black hole. It results in a separation from God and a loss of perception of God’s forgiveness and love. There is no end to hell, and hell lasts forever.
