The idea that there is a hell underneath Earth's surface roots in the Quran, which speaks about "seven earths" (), while describing hell as a subterranean pit, divided into seven compartments. 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.
