Demythologization is one of the processes that look for assumptions that are the mythological religious reasons for the assumption of modern reasons. Assuming this is expected to exclude other meanings of the kerygma or the divine message from religious reasoning. This article seeks to apply in the case of Hutomah which is generally regarded as one hell.

With this process can be found a more suitable meaning and strive to make the Qur'an more contextual and reflective
