In Islam, there is 3 phases to hell and it's manifestation.
(1) In this life, hell surrounds disbelievers but they don't perceive it. Believers also have to make their way through it, and it's our low desire and selfishness personality, that is it. Prophets (a) are such that they walk upon it while it's flames never ignite in this world, and they show the way to safety.
(2) In the life after death, Angels constantly bring upon it's reality to a degree, but it's still not fully manifest, even though the punishment in the grave is true, it's not a full reality and only partial.
(3)On last day, it will appear fully, and everyone will perceive it with full sight, and it's reality will become clear. There are 19 Angels upon hell, and they are said to be severe Angels that obey God in all that he commands, and so won't have mercy. If they are ordered to punish and cut and torture per God's command, they do it fast, without hesitation or argument.
Now it might seem it's too few, 19 Angels, but that is because people think good and evil powers are near equal, and that miracles can be attributed to self-learned magic without God's permission, but Quran argues, to show miracles are reasonable proofs, that the order of the universe to be in God's hand, has to have his forces with more power. It's to the extent that his forces, 19 Angels can keep all sorcerers, Jinn, humans, all in hell, without risk. The Prophets miracles are such power displayed, and it proves they are trusted by God.
If miracles weren't proof, evil forces can rule the universe and next world.
