1- With regard to numbers, there is one Hell and one Paradise, but each of them has degrees and levels. The levels of Hell differ according to the extent of their inhabitants’ disbelief in this world. The hypocrites will be in the lowest level of Hell. We know of no limit to the number of degrees and levels in Paradise. It was said that their number is equal to the number of verses in the Quran. 2- The Sunnah describes the position of those who do certain actions. For example: 1- Faith in Allah and in the Messengers, 2-Jihad, 3-Those who sincerely desire martyrdom, 4- giving out in charity, 5- Doing wudu properly, and 6- Memorizing Quran

Abiding for eternity in Hell is of two types, eternal abiding which never ends, which is the abiding of the unbelievers in Hell. See the detailed answer for the other type of eternity in Hell.

With regard to the reason why women form the majority of Hell, the Prophet was asked about it and he explained the reason in these words: “Because of their ingratitude.” It was said, “Are they ungrateful to Allah?” He said, “They are ungrateful to their husbands and ungrateful about good treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime then she sees one (undesirable) thing in you, she will say, `I have never had anything good from you.’”

The names of Hell are: Jahim, Jahannam, Laza, al-Sa’ir, Saqar, al-Hutamah and al-Hawiyah, according to its various characteristics.
