No kafir(nonbeliever) will enter Jahannum

[siFilam]

:sl:

---A man came to Imam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullah alayhi) and said:
“A certain person says that no kafir will enter Jahannum. What ruling is applicable to this person?” Imam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullah alayhi) said to his students: “Answer!” They said: “The man is a kufir and a denier of the Nusoos (clear proofs of the Shari’ah).”
Imam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullah alayhi) instructed them to present an interpretation (to avoid the verdict of kufr). They replied that it is impossible to interpret away this statement. Imam Abu Hanifah said that the interpretation (ta’weel) is this: At the time of entry into Jahannum no man will remain a kafir, i.e. in the literal sense. On the contrary he will be a mu’min in the literal sense even though he will be a kafir in terms of the Shari’ah. At that time the realities will be unveiled. Thus, he will not be a denier (kafir) of the unveiled realities. The Qur’an says:
“This is the Jahannum which the transgressors had denied.”
Further, the kafir will experience more revelations of Jahannum than the Mumin who will cross over Jahannum swift as lightning.
Indeed the intelligence and caution of Imam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullah alayhi) were amazing. ----

Only those, who are spiritually perfected, will be united with God. It does not depend on what religion you follow or follow no religion at all. None of the prophets ever followed already existing religion(s).

[Malaikah]

^True, they followed the religion God gave them for their time. And the religion God gave us for our time is Islam.

Anyway, great story mashaallah, what insight!

[cali dude]

Sorry I have to disagree. True religion has no time limit. True religion has been the same since beginning of time and will remain as such till the end of time.

Now it does not mean a particular organized religion being unchanged means that particular organized religion is the true religion.

[Malaikah]

Exactly. They are all the same religion, they just had different laws depending on the people who the prophet was sent to.
