Paradise & Hell 3 of 11


The People of Hell who will be there FOREVER

Some people will be in hell forever never leaving it. They are those who died Kafr or upon a way other than Islam.

“But those who reject Allah, for them will be the Fire of Hell. No term shall be determined for them, so they should die, nor shall its penalty be lightened for them.” (35:36)

“But those who reject Faith and belie Our Signs, they shall be companions [or dwellers] of the Fire; they shall abide therein.” (2:39)

“Verily those who reject faith and die rejecting – on them is Allah’s Curse and the Curse of the Angels and of all mankind. They will abide therein: their penalty will not be lightened, nor will respite be their lot.” (2:161-162)

More proof from the Quran of the eternal Fate of those who die upon a way other than Islam:

“Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger is the Fire of Hell- Wherein they shall dwell? That is the supreme disgrace.” (9:63)

“It is not for such as join gods with Allah to visit or maintain the Mosques of Allah while they witness against their own souls to infidelity [or disbelief]. The works of such bear no fruit: In Fire shall they dwell.” (9:17)

Because they will abide therein forever, Allah (swt) described the torment of Hell as a lasting torment one that will never end for them:

“Their wish will be to get out of the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom: their Penalty will be one that endures.” (5:37)

“At length it will be said to the wrongdoers: “Taste you the enduring punishment! You get but the recompense of what you earned!” (10:52)

They will be tormented forever in Hell – in between life and death – never dying!
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said:

“Death will be brought like a horned ram, and will be made to stand between Paradise and Hell.” It will be said, “O people of Paradise, do you know what this is?” They will raise their heads and look, and will say, “Yes, this is death.” IT will be said, “O people of Hell, do you know what this is?” They will raise their heads and look, and will say, “Yes, this is death.” Then the command will be given for death to be slaughtered. Then it will be said, “O people of Paradise, it is eternal, there is no death. O people of Hell, it is eternal, there is no death.”

Then the Messenger of Allah (saws) recited:

“And warn them of the Day of Grief and regrets when the case has been decided while [now] they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.” (19:39)

Because the disbelievers and polytheists will remain in Hell forever it is considered to be their abode or dwelling place just as Paradise is the abode of the believers

Their abode will be the Fire; and evil is the home of the wrongdoers” (3:151)

“Their abode is the Fire because of the [evil] they earned.” (10:8)

“Is there not a home in Hell for those who reject Faith?” (29:68)

And Hell is the abode that they deserve so there should be no sympathy for them!

Your abode is the Fire: that is the proper place to claim you..” (57:15)

But for the wrongdoers will be an evil place of [final] Return! – they will burn therein – an evil bed [indeed] to lie on!” (38:55-56)

Also people who will be in hell forever are those who call others to hell:

“Would they do so even if it is Shaytan beckoning them to the Penalty of the [Blazing] Fire? (31:21)

“He Shaytan only invites his adherents that they may become Companions of the blazing Fire” (35:6)

Those who call others to the Fire in this world will lead their people and their followers to the Fire in the Hereafter. An example is Pharaoh:

“He will go before his people on the Day of Judgment, and lead them into the Fire.” (11:98)

All evil leaders who call people to their belief systems that go against Islam are in fact calling people to the Fire of Hell, because the only way to escape the fire of Hell and enter Paradise is to follow the path of Faith:

“And O my people [strange] it is for me to call you to salvation while you call me to the Fire!” (40:41)

Because the kuffar invite people to the Fire, Allah (swt) forbade believing men to marry mushrik women, just as He forbade believing women to marry mushrik (Unbelieving) men

And do not marry unbelieving (literally, polytheist) women until they believe. A slave woman who believes is better than a [free] unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry [your girls] to unbelievers until they believe; a male slave who believes is better than a [free] unbeliever, even though he allures you.

Those [unbelievers] do [but] beckon you to the Fire, but Allah invites by His Grace to the Gardens [of bliss] and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind that they may receive admonition” (2:221)

So the Deeds that Condemn a person to Hell Forever never leaving it are: Shirk (Association) and Kafr (Disbelief)

Allah (swt) tells us that it will be said to those who disbelieved, when they are in the Fire, that Allah’s hatred of them will be greater than their own hatred towards themselves because of their disbelief. Then He explains that their eternal fate in Hell is because of their kufr and shirk: The unbelievers will be addressed: “Greater was the aversion of Allah to you than [is] your aversion to yourselves, seeing that you were called to the Faith but you used to refuse. They will say, “Our Rabb! Twice have You made us without life, and twice have you given us life! Now have we recognized our sins: is there any way out [of this]?” [The answer will be]: “This is because, when Allah (swt) was invoked as the Only [object of worship] you did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, you believed! The Command is only with Allah, All High, All Great!” (40:10-12)

Allah (swt) tells us that the keeper of Hell will ask the kuffar as they are approaching Hell

“Did there not come to you your messengers with clear signs?” (40:50)

The response will be that they deserved Hell because they disbelieved in the Messengers and their Message: “They will say,

“Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him” and said: “Allah never sent down any [Message] you are in nothing but a great error!” (67:9)

Concerning those who disbelieved in the Quran Allah (swt) says:

“We have sent you a Message from Our own presence. If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of Judgment. They will abide in this [state] and grievous will that burden be to them on that Day.” (20:99-101)

 Concerning those kuffar and mushrikin who regarded their gods as equal to Allah:

“Then they will be thrown headlong into the [Fire] – they and those straying in Evil and the whole hosts of Iblis together. They will say there in their mutual bickering: “By Allah, we were truly in an error manifest, when we held you [false gods] as equals with the Rabb of the Worlds” (26:94-98)

Another sin Failing to fulfill the legislated duties,well as denying the Day of Judgment.

Allah (swt) tells us that the people of Paradise will ask the people of Hell: “What led you into Hellfire?” (74:42)

They will reply: “..We were not of those who prayed, Nor were we of those who fed the indigent, But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers, And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, Until there came to us [the Hour] that is certain.” (74:43-47)

Another sin Obeying the misguided leaders of kufr and accepting the principles by means of which they mislead the people and turn them away from the religion of Allah

“And We have destined for them intimate companions [of like nature] who made alluring to them what was before them and what was behind them. And the Sentence among previous generations of jinns and men who have passed away, is proved against them; for they are utterly lost.”

The unbelievers say: “Listen not to this Quran but talk at random in the midst of its [reading] that you may gain the upper hand!” But We shall certainly give the unbelievers a taste of a severe penalty, and We shall requite them the worst of their deeds. Such is the requital of the enemies of Allah – the Fire, therein will be for them the eternal home, a [fit] requital for that they used to reject Our Signs” (41:25-28)

When the kuffar are thrown into Hell they will be filled with regret for having disobeyed Allah (swt) and His Messenger and having followed their masters and leaders

 “Verily Allah (swt) has cursed the unbelievers and has prepared for them a blazing Fire, to dwell therein; no protector will they find, nor helper. The Day that their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire, they will say, “Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger.” And they would say, “Our Rabb! We obeyed our chiefs and our great ones and they mislead us as from the [Right] Path.” (33:64-67)

Another group that will be in the hellfire forever are the Hypocrites because although they claimed to believe in Allah they really did not

Allah has promised the hypocrites, men and women and the rejecters of Faith, the fire of Hell, therein shall they dwell. Sufficient is it for them. For them is the curse of Allah and an enduring punishment.” (9:68)

He has told us that the position of the hypocrites is the lowest level of Hell, which is where the heat and agony are most intense: “The hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire; no helper will you find for them.” (4:145)

Also those who were arrogant will be in the fire forever

This is a quality shared by most of the people of Hell. Allah (swt) says:

“But those who reject Our Signs and treat them with arrogance – they are the Companions (dwellers) of the Fire, to dwell therein [forever]” (7:36)

“Is there not in Hell an abode for the Haughty [ie. arrogant]? (39:60)

“But today shall you be recompensed with a penalty of humiliation for that you were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that you [ever] transgressed” (48:20)

“Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds, and had preferred the life of this world, the Abode will be Hellfire” (79:37-39)
