Paradise 2 of 15



How the sinners will Enter Paradise

The sinners of the Muslims will be brought forth from hell thru intercession

Muslim reports from Abu Sa’id that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said:

“The people of Hell will remain there, never dying and never living. But there are people who will enter Hell because of their sins, and will be killed therein, so that they become like coals. Permission will be granted for intercession to be made, and they will be brought forth in groups and spread on rivers of Paradise, and it will be said, “O people of Paradise, pour water on them. Then they will grow like seeds in the silt left by a flood.”

Muslim also reports from Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said:

“Some people will be brought out of the Fire, having been burnt all over except for their faces and they will enter Paradise.”

The people of Paradise will call these people who are brought out of Hell and admitted to Paradise al-Jahannamiyyun.
Al-Bukhari reports from Imran ibn Husayn (ra) the Prophet (saws said:

“Some people will be brought out of Hell through the intercession of Muhammad (saws). They will enter Paradise and will be known as al-Jahannamiyyun.”

In another hadith the Prophet said:

“They will be brought out of the Fire through intercession as if they are tha’arir”. I asked, “What are tha’arir?” He said, “Daghabis [snake cucumbers]” (Al Bukhari)

Also some Believers will be removed from the Hellfire by Allah (swt)’s mercy:

“…When Allah (swt) has finished judging mankind, and wants to bring whomever He wills out of Hell by His Mercy, He will order angels to bring forth those upon who He wishes to bestow His mercy of the people who never associated anything in worship with Allah (swt) and who said, “La ilahia illah Allah”

The angels will recognize them in Hell, and will know them by the mark of sujud on their foreheads. The Fire will consume all of a man except the mark of sujud which Allah (swt) has forbidden the Fire to consume.

They will be brought forth, having been burned in the Fire, the water of life will be poured on them, and they will grow like seeds left by still after a flood.” (Sahih Muslim)

It was reported in more than one hadith that Allah (swt) will bring forth from hell whoever has a dinar’s weight of faith in his heart, or even half a dinar’s weight or an atom’s weight. And some who never did any good:

Allah (swt) will admit the people of Paradise to Paradise and He will admit whomsoever He will by His mercy.
“And He will admit the people of Hell to Hell, then He will say, “Look for anyone who has the weight of a mustard seed of faith in his heart, and bring him out.” (Sahih Muslim)

In another hadith the Prophet said:

“The intercession will be permitted and they will intercede until whoever says La ilaha illa Allah and has a barley grain’s worth of goodness in his heart will be brought forth.

They will be made to stand in the courtyard of paradise and the people of Paradise will start to pour water over them until they begin to grow like seeds left by silt after a flood.

All traces of the Fire will disappear, then he [the person who was brought out of Hell] will keep asking until he is given the equivalent of this world ten times more.” (Sahih Muslim)

Also:

Whoever says La ilaha illa Allah and has a barley grain’s weight of goodness in his heart will be brought out of the Fire. Then whoever says, “La ilaha illa Allah” and has a wheat grains weight of goodness in his heart will be brought out of the Fire. Then whoever says, La ilaha illa Allah and has an atom’s weight of goodness in his heart will be brought out of the Fire.” (Sahih Muslim)

There are some deviant groups that say that Muslims guilty of major sins will never come out of Hell. They are wrong as presented by Allah himself:

 “Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him, but He forgives anything else, to whom He pleases.” (4:48)
“Say: O My Slaves who have transgressed against themselves [by committing evil deeds and sins]! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly He is Oft-forgiving, All-Merciful.” (39:53)

Intercession will be allowed by anyone whom Allah (swt) is pleased with:

 “Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission?” (2:255)

“and they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased” (21:28)

“And there are many angels in the heavens, whose intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He wills and pleases.” (53:26)

There will be no intercession for the Unbelievers nor from them:

Al-Bukhari narrated that Abu Hurayrah (ra) said,

“I said, “O Messenger of Allah, who will be the most happy with your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “I thought, O Abu Hurayrah, that no one would ask me this question before you, because I have seen that you are so eager to learn hadith. The one who will be the most happy with my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who says La ilaha illa Allah sincerely and from the heart.”

The Prophet (saws) has told us about the last man who will be brought out of Hell and into Paradise and the conversation that will take place between him and his Rabb, and the incredibly great honor that Allah (swt) will bestow upon him

 “I know the last of the people of Hell who will be brought forth from it, and the last of the people of Paradise to enter it. It is a man who will come out of Hell crawling on all fours.” Allah (swt) will say to him, “Go and enter Paradise.” So he will come to it and will suppose that it is full. He will go back and say, “My Rabb I found it full”. Allah (swt) will say “Go and enter Paradise for there you have something like the world and 10 times over [or you have something 10x  better than the world]. He will say, “Are you making fun of me – or laughing at me – You are the sovereign of all?”

Also the Prophet said:

“The last person to enter paradise will be a man who will alternately walk, stagger and be touched by the Fire. Once he has passed out of the Fire, he will turn to face it and say, “Blessed be He Who has saved me from you. Allah (swt) has given me something that He did not give to the earlier and later generations. Then a tree will be raised up for him, and he will say “O my Rabb, bring me closer to this tree so that I may enjoy its shade and drink of its water.” Allah (swt) will say, “O son of Adam perhaps if I grant you this you will ask Me for something else?”

He will say, “No, O Rabb, I promise that I will not ask for anything else.” Allah (swt) will excuse him because he is seeing something that he has no patience to resist so he will bring him closer and he will enjoy its shade and drink its water

Then another tree, better than the first will be raised up for him and he will say, “O my Rabb, bring me near to this tree so that I may drink its water and enjoy its shade, then I will not ask you for anything more.” Allah (swt) will say, “O son of Adam did you not promise Me that you would not ask me for anything else? Perhaps if I bring you closer to this tree you will ask for more?” So the man will promise not to ask for any more, and Allah will excuse him because he is seeing something that he has no patience to resist, so He will bring him closer and he will enjoy its shade and drink its water.

Finally:

The 3rd tree will be raised up at the gate of Paradise, and it will be better than the first two. The man will say, “O My Rabb, bring me closer to this [tree] so that I may enjoy its shade and drink its water and I will not ask for anything more.” Allah will say, “O son of Adam, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything more?” He will say, “Yes, O Rabb, I will not ask you for anything more.” His Rabb may He be glorified, will excuse him because he is seeing something which he has no patience to resist so He will bring him closer.
