This issue confuses me... Let say a mother.. a woman.. a kind hearted woman who brings up her children greatly...and is a really good person... but eventually dies, but without a religion.. Will she enter hellfire?

My neighbour was a woman like this...

My question is... say a very good person...dies an atheist.... what will happen?

Is hellfire always the result of a person not believing in islam and Allah sabhaana wa ta'allah?

In a nutshell...Why would Allah punish a very good person like this...just because they never believed?

Please mention some quran verses if possible.

Thanks brothers

Kafer or Kufer means any person on this earth doesn't (didn't) believe in Allah (SAW)as the only God and Mouhammad (PBUH) as the last messenger .



from this rule you can know this person is kafir or not

Alex,

Your question is a very crucial one that has confused and kept up a lot of people awake at night. I hope to help you and others understand this as I struggled with it a long time before and luckily great Sheikh explained it beautfully for me.

First off what Alpha Dude said is correct, you need to have received the message correctly. Not receiving a message is clear and the Quran says "Whoever chooses to follow the right path, follows it but for his own good; and whoever goes astray. goes but astray to his own hurt; and no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another" burden. Moreover. We would never chastise [any community for the wrong they may do[ ere We have sent an apostle [to them]." So if someone never heard of God's religion or heard a distorted story about it (like "there are those muslims and they believe in multiple Gods and are barbarians who kill each other over them") then God is their judge on judgement day to know what is in their heart and how to reward or punish them.

Now with that aside, we need to talk about the current day communities of people who you and I meet and can be nice and kind-hearted, and just say they think all the religions are fabricated and don't believe in them, or choose some deviant man-made religion in order to improve their spirituality.

We as muslims have learned something very important, and that is "intention". The prophet said "deeds are by intention, and for every person the reward of whatever he intended. So whomever makes hijra (migration) for God and his apostle, then his hijra is for God and his apostle, and whomever makes hijra for a worldly affair to win, or a woman to marry, then his hijra is for what he has intended it for"

A muslim person is rewarded when and only when he intends to please God and for the sake of God. If you give money to the poor because it is charity and God likes that, then it's charity and is accepted, if you give it so that you look good in front of your fiance, or to ask that person later on for something to do for you, you'll get no reward for it. The prophet said in a hadith (to the meaning of): "There will come three people on judgement day, a scholar, a charitable man, and a warrior.
The scholar will be asked in what he spent his life, and he will say: "I spent it gaining knowledge and teaching people oh God, for you", and he will be told "You lie, you did that so that people would say what a great scholar, and it was said, so it's done." and he is placed in hell.
The charitable man would be asked the same and he will say: "I spent from your provisions on the poor and needy for your sake", and he will be told "You lie, you did that so people would say what a generous man, and it was said." and this man is placed in hell as well.
The warrior would be asked the same and he will say: "I made jihad and died for your sake!" and he will be told "You lie, you did that so people would say what a hero, and it was said." and he too will be placed in hell."

Our deeds are attached to our intentions, and all our rewards are attached to making it for the sake God.

Now Alex, if someone doesn't believe in God, WHAT IS THE GOOD THING THEY DO INTENDED FOR?

You see good deeds are good, and they have their immediate rewards. That is actually what you see in people who don't believe, they do something good but expect something in return. Sometimes it is vulgar and short-sided as "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours", but many times it is more of "if I do this they will like me", and "if I do this I will get more business", and "if I give money I'll take it off my tax return and look good in front of the community".

You know what? There is even the bigger one that is actually tricky: "I do this because it FEELS GOOD!"

Well yes, God al-hamdolellah created in us the instincts that make good deeds feel good to good people. But if you do a deed only to feel good, then God wasn't in that equation, was He?

That is actually WHY non-believers are given an easier life and as mentioned in another thread here, seem to be getting a happy life. That is their reward for whatever sincere actions happen from them.

God is never going to be unfair, he has given us all the same shot. If the people were sincerely good, they would shiver upon reading or hearing the verses of Quran and say "We believe". Instead they choose to refuse the charge and come up with all sorts of arguments why they're "not convinced". I will never forget the argument I had with an athiest I was discussing on a different board, that he claimed he doesn't believe at all all this we say about the scientific miracles of Quran, and when I asked why, he said that he looked at them and found that number 23 (iron brought down from space) MAY have been known by people then judging from the meteorites, so a person COULD have told the prophet about it. I wrote back "So you got tonumber 23, but while reading the first 22 miracles you just passed through and could not even acknowledge what you've read?!" to which he said, that he cannot explain that or comment on it but that this one shows THAT YOU'RE MAKING THINGS UP!

If that man stops at a traffic light, it will be because he avoids a traffic fine. If he picks up litter, it will be because he wants a clean street for himself to enjoy or actually far-sighted to think about his kids. If he is standing at a charity event, you can be very confident that he's there networking with other business people or getting a tax break or maybe pleasing someone else. If they don't believe in God, then to them there is no God to do anything for. And God rewards those who serve him and obey him in what he has ordained upon us.

(You can't enter a play or a concert without booking and buying a ticket, why would they enter paradise when they don't have one, especially that the tickets were free: All they had to do was say La Elaha Ella Allah and the ticket gets booked and will be waiting for them there)

God bless all those who believe and worship him.

I've asked something similar to this one too. A woman who has gone around raising money since she was about 13 to help dying and sick children. Someone who raised £50,000 + to send many sick/dying children to lapland etc. She's non-muslim but to me sending her to hell is a bit harsh lol... :hiding:

Not really. It doesn't matter how good you are, when you've heard the message of Islam and don't believe in it, then there is no arguments left. Truth is clear from falsehood.

That said, Alhamdulillah I was born into Islam.

With all due respect, Sampharo, are you suggesting that everybody who has read Qu'ran and remained unconvinced by it is not 'sincerely good'?
I would understand if you called these people 'stubborn' or 'deceived' or 'hard-hearted' or any of these things - but to claim that they cannot be 'sincerely good' seems very strong.

I believe that only God sees into our hearts, and he understands our troubles and our hurdles and our stumbling blocks ... even our reasons for being unable to believe.

No no sister Glo, I am sorry if it was misunderstood as I didn't mean that. I did not mean that someone hears of it or listens to a few verses and temporarily is not convinced is automatically evil. WHat I meant was if they were good in their hearts, they would not have fought against accepting God's truth that transcends argument.

Let me elaborate on this. God said that whomever has good in his heart God will show him the truth in his verses, and whomever holds evil will be prevented from it: "And who could be more wicked than he to whom his Sustainer's messages are conveyed and who thereupon turns away from them, forgetting all [the evil] that his hands may have wrought? Behold, over their hearts have We laid veils which prevent them from grasping the truth, and into their ears, deafness; and though thou call them onto the right path, they will never allow themselves to be guided." [18:57]

Friends of mine who went to Africa for Dawah understand that concept well, as they told me they learned that it was very important to arrive to those tribes and villages and show nothing but impecable behaviour, bash nothing of the tribes' habits or traditions (even witch-craft or voodoo), and simply be pious and wait for them to ask. When they introduce God's religion they explain about values and morality and that God first and foremost requires people to be good and do good deeds. They mention jews and christians but do not attack them or their beliefs, just explain how they went astray from the actual path. The response is almost always hordes of them pronouncing Shahada in glorious waves as tribal elders explain that such behaviour and morality is what they learned from their forefathers and this is truly what matters to them, and they explain that they don't understand those christian missionaries that come with aid and food but bash muslims and speak ill of other people and their faith.

Hope that clarifies things a bit. :)

Atheists don't beleive in God ; so how logical is that they deserve rewards from God on the final Day ? If a believer and non-believer get same rewards on the final day , do u think it will be just ?

Allah says in Quran that if u want to go to paradise we must believe in Him without associating partner with Him . By rejecting any Prophet of God , it mean one did not submit himself/ herself to God properly .

So , s/he deserves the punishment . And Allah knows Best.

And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of paradise, they will dwell therein forever.

( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #82)


Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) with the truth (Islam), a bringer of glad tidings (for those who believe in what you brought, that they will enter paradise) and a warner (for those who disbelieve in what you brought, they will enter the Hell-fire). And you will not be asked about the dwellers of the blazing Fire.

( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #119)

there are few important things to remember regarding this question:

1 - good defined by who?
2 - What is purpose of a doing a good if it is not to serve the purpose of our life - pleasing Allah!?
3 - Allah says in the Qur'an multiple times that the good acts of kufaar (i.e., charity) has no value in His sight since they reject Islam
4 - what is the benefit for asking "what will happen to fullan who died but did good"? worry about yourself and those who are alive.
5 - if the person did not get the message of Islam or altered version reached to him and he died in that state then he will be tested on the day of judgment. So why worry about these kinds of people?

and Allah knows best

This also makes me think about we are so fortunate to be born Muslim, what if we had been born into non Muslim families and never found Islam. It makes me shudder.

I am so gratefull to Allah that he granted me the favour of being born into a Muslim family, but i wonder how and why Allah decides for some people to be born into Muslim families and some to be born into non Muslim families, hence making it harder for them to find Islam.

our ummah is very special and unique sis. Allah made that promise to prophet mohammad pbuh before he died that he will take care of the ummah because our beloved prophet mohammad pbuh was worried:) so who ever is guided it is surely a huge blessing and Allah has chosen the most wise and pious people to spread the message for him so that Allah might reward them inshallaah and the rewards are great:statisfie

What ever it is sisters and brothers.. i feel we can never surely says who goes or doesnt go to hell.. Its entirely up to Allah and he can do what so ever he wishes.We are not capable of understanding or speculating of what he would do.

But i do believe that a innately good man would finally go to heaven if he belives that There is a single god who brought him to life. What does innately good mean ? Its up to the supreme power (GOD) to decide :).

First of, Allah creates nothing in vain, that includes the kufis.


Allah says: If Allah had so willed,He would have made you a single people,but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which you dispute;(5:48)

Many of us think that if we believe and pray, fast, we will be okay. But Allah doesn't create nothing in vain. Just look at everything he has ceated. For a very good reason. Look at your self, take an Anatomy and Physiology class, our interior organs are amazig,each one of them functions like a machine. All of that is created so we can speak,hear and think...how many times do we take it for granted. The Qur'an says that we will be questioned for our thinking and hearing. And the same goes for everything else, so watch youselves!!!!

THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. YOU FORGOT THE MAIN MESSAGE OF ALLAH. I ONLY CREATED THE JINN AND MAN TO WORSHIP ME. FOR WHAT DO THE KUFIS UTILIZE THEMSELVES???? LOSERS........


Allah created us to do everything in his name and for his reason. For what reason and what motivates kufis to do good???
