Struggling with idea of non muslims going to hell

You know, Allah has already said that no a soul will be wronged by even an atom's worth. So why find things in the world that would create such doubts as to how Allah will deal with the matter? He has asked from over 1400 years ago for anyone to challenge the Quran and to date, nothing in the Quran has been contradicted.

If you (or anybody for that reason) cannot find answers, it is due to our limitations, not Allah's. If we create doubt because we do not know the answer(s), what it goes to show is that we have not fully submitted to His AlMighty Will. We are not His true slave.

Maalikiyawmiddeen - Sovereign of the day of recompense

Then again, Allah also said that hidayah is His to give. It has nothing to do with us. Will we start questioning that too? Why does He have to choose? So if He chooses when to give why do we need to spread the word? and whatever other doubts you can create in your mind.

I can give you more reasons to ask questions, similar questions and at the end of the day, I realise something, all these subtly complex questions comes about from an intelligent mind. This intelligent mind is 'used' by the accursed to create something within ourselves almost as though to plant a seed of doubt will erode the chain of a slave to Allah. Like saying, I will only fully submit if this can be explained... almost a surge of arrogance

The thing is, do you submit or do you not? Allah already said again that no soul will bear another soul's sins. So what that means is that we all should really concentrate on our own deeds and not the fate of others as it is theirs to bear. We can only pray for them, dakwah to them because apart from that, the hidayah belongs to Allah, and there is no compulsion in religion. So really our hands are very tied (except for what we decide to do for ourselves) and we have to have faith in Allah being the Most Forgiving (except in the matters of syirk!) and that He is Most Fair.

I think if kept simple, always going back to the drawing board to keep from going off trajectory and being ensnared by the accursed, we must realise what is our duty. Judging the fate of others based on what you think they have been given fairly or not, is definitely not one of them.

Yes. That is the test. When there is a test, it will be to separate those who pass from those who fail. Who pass and who fail will be based on the decisions they make.

Plus, it is not our law.. it is Divine decree... so we understand not as much, but do we submit?

just had a guy walking past chucking pages he ripped from a book through doorways...

people need help.

i cant upload the pic? it seems like a comparative religion book.. maybe written from a christian perspective?

he must be very upset.

i shouted at him for chucking something into my shop but he kept walking..

i suppose things could be worse. alhamdulillah.

..some people would use books for kindling i suppose.



lol.. that didn't work..

...upon actually reading it.. it may be from a muslim perspective..

if that changes anything i do not know.


...might look an idiot if i go pick things up of the road.

wow.

i told one of the brothers.. and he picked up the pages he could and said hes taking them to the mosque.

made him angry really. made me upset.

I mean, i feel cruel for thinking despite suffering in this life, they suffer even worse in the next and like i'm disregarding my compassion for them just due to their beliefs and I am just like, oh, too bad, so sad,which I can't help but feel is cruel. what do you think?

You should just believe a) that Allah is the most just, b) as Musa Alayhi Salam said to pharaoh about his forefathers (chapter 20, verse 52), "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."

So basically you don't know their faith when they're dying. Only Allah does. If they are kafir, then yes they will go to Hell. People have been given intellect and if they don't use it to get guidance and cling to their wrong beliefs despite all the signs being shown to them, then they deserve whatever punishment Allah chooses to give them. (But once again, only Allah knows their inner faith.) Your concern shouldn't be with that. What you should be concerned about is yourself, your faith and actions , and how you can give dawah to those accessible to you to save them from hell.

My questions will lead you to understand why your question is based on emotion and not theo-logic! in sha Allah. And the appeal to emotion, is always weak!

First question:

I wonder why you believe God created us?

Scimi

What is the problem in saying that only believers will go in heaven..?

Thoughts on his predicament? Should I tell him only muslims go to heaven?

give him dawah with hikma and ask him to think of his own life first , instead of thinking of the whole world.

I agree that people should not be ignorant, I agree they should search (assuming they are linked with the correct resources) but the everyday person is just not going to do that.

in this age most of the people know what Islam is, nevertheless they run away from the truth

even if the dawah hasn't reached to them, why Allah swt has given them this brain, they will be questioned

The cause/background of that hadith was an event when some Muslims killed mushrikin children in a war. When Rasulullah Shallallahu Alayhi Wasallam questioning why they killed the mushrikin children, they said they killed those children because those children were mushrikin. Then Rasulullah Shallallahu Alayhi Wasallam issued prohibition to kill non-Muslim children in war, and said that hadith as explanation why is prohibited to kill children from enemy side.

can you give the source please ?

oppressors will be punished regardless of their religion. Everyone will get the justice on the judgement day..... Non Muslims who are suffering in this world will undergo light punishment in comparison with those non Muslims who are oppressors and enjoying their luxurious life will have to face severe punishment. But one punishment is equal to all non Muslims i.e. Not accepting the msg of Islam.
