I Hope the Fuel costs are low up there, because nipping next door to see my mate is going to cost a whack of cash.
Actually thats if every person who ever lived was saved.
Isnt there some sources that limit the number going to heaven to a few hundred thousand? |
That sounds like a lot of people. But we have been around for millions of years. So its only natural that we would have so many people. But despite such big numbers, that is still minute and nothing compared to the number of angels.
There is a house in the heavens like the kaba on earth. Every day 70,000 angels visit it to pray and then leave, never to come back again. This has been going on since their creation. now that means billions of years, way before creation of earth and this universe. So imagine the vast creation of the Angels. Allah says:
Certainly the creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of men; but most men know it not. [40.57]
There is a source that limits people going to heaven, in Christianity it is. JW believe only 50,000 will go to heaven, and rest of Christianity have their own numbers. In Islam, there is no limit on numbers. Allah has promised paradise to those who uphold Monotheism and obey the commands of Allah. All the previous prophets were Muslims (submitting to Allah) and all their followers were Muslims. Anyone who stays away from polytheism, does good and stays away from evil has opportunity to enter paradise.
