Women in Hell

The Prophet (saw) said;
“I saw hell and I saw that most of its dwellers/inhabitants were women.” [Bukhaaree & Muslim, via Ibn 'Abbaas]
Because they (women) are ungrateful to their husbands
The prophet (aw) said;
“O women, give in charity, for I have seen that you form the majority of the people of Hell.“
They asked, “Why is that, O Messenger of Allah? “
He (saw) answered, “Because you curse too much and are ungrateful for the good treatment (done to you by your husband’s).” [Bukhaaree & Muslim, via Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree]
Explanation:

Generally women are less wise when it comes to choosing between world and hereafter life. They are attracted to glamour and glitter of worldly materials. They are forgetful about the hereafter and need constant reminders. The world attracts the women and the women attract men. They distract men from hereafter world by attracting them to their beauty. Hence the men are inclined to desire them and they are not concerned with the Hereafter. The ultimate blame in all this is the emotion ‘deisre’. “Hell is surrounded with desires, and Paradise is veiled (in another narration ‘surrounded’) by hardships. “ Thus women should fear Allah and keep themselves away from all such acts and esp. desires that prevent them from doing righteous deeds. Moreover, they should not be a distraction for anyone too.
