-------------------Al-Jannah wa An-Naar------------------------- Innal-Hamdalillah was-Salaatu was-Salaam `alaa Rasoolillah as-Salaamu `alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuhu Bi'idhnillaah a very important series begins on the list today, concerned with the subject of al-Jannah and an and the Hell-Fire. One of these two will be the end destination, moreover the eternal abode, for each and every Therefore it is crucial for us to reflect on what Allaah has prepared for mankind - for those who are obedient an favours, and for those who reject His sins and rebel against Him. It is my intention with these posts, after seeking the pleasure of Allaah azza wa jall, to touch the hearts of each you, as the book, on which this series is based - "The Final Day: Paradise and Hell" by Dr. 'Umar Sulaiman al the College of Shariah, University of Jordan - touched mine. To fill your hearts with fear of Allaah's punishment mine; To fill your hearts as mine was filled with Love for Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'ala and an incredible yearnin and bliss of al-Jinaan, the Gardens; and insha'Allaah to put this dunyaa in perspective and thus to inspire us to the cause of Allaah and His Deen, to work to save our heels from even feeling the heat of the Hell-fire. So I ask Allaah, for the sake of our own souls, that we read each word carefully, and deeply reflect upon the Aa the sayings of His Messenger, so that insha'Allaah we will live our lives, as if we could see the Fire on one side Garden on the other. Surely, as the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi was-sallam said, there is no life but the life of a
-------------------Al-Jannah wa An-Naar------------------------- Definition and Explanation Hell is the abode which Allaah (swt) has prepared for those who do not believe in Him (swt), those who rebel a laws and disbelieve in His Messengers. It is the punishment for His (swt) enemies, the prison for evildoers. It is the ultimate humiliation and loss; there is nothing worse: "Our Lord! Verily, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed, You have disgraced him, and never will the D [polytheists and wrongdoers] find any helpers" (3:192) "Know they not that whoever opposes and shows hostility to Allaah and His Messenger, certainly fo fire of Hell to abide therein? That is extreme disgrace". (9:63) "The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Verily manifest loss!" (39:15) How could Hell be other than we have described, when it is full of utterly indescribable torment, pain and grief? its inhabitants will remain there forever. Allaah (swt) has condemned them and their place in the Fire: "Evil indeed it [Hell] is as an abode and as a place to dwell" (25:66) "This is so! And for the Tagheen [transgressors] - will be an evil final return - Hell! Where they will [indeed] is that place to rest!" (38:55-6) Paradise and Hell Have Already Been Created at-Tahhaawi said, in his book on al-'Aqeedah al-Salafiyyah (correct belief in accordance with that of the early g Islaam) that is known as al-'Aqeedah al-Tahhaawiyyah. "Paradise and Hell have already been created. They will never come to an end or cease to exist. Allaah (swt) cr Hell before the rest of creation, and He (swt) created inhabitants for each of them. Whoever He (swt) wishes ( by His grace and mercy, and whoever He (swt) wishes (will enter Hell) as a result of His (swt) justice. Every pe according to that for which he was created, and his destiny will be that for which he was created; good deeds a foreordained for all men". Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Abul-'Izz al-Hanafi remarked, in his commentary on this text: "With regard to his saying that Paradise and Hell have already been created, Ahl as-Sunnah agree that Paradis been created and are in existence at the present moment. Ahlus-Sunnah continued to hold this view, until som Mu'tazilah and Qaadariyyah came along, which denied that. These groups said: "Allaah will create them (ie Par the Day of Resurrection." They said this because of their false arguments by means of which they seek to impr what Allaah (swt) should do; (they say) it befits Allaah (swt) to do this, or it does not befit Allaah (swt) to do t Him to His creation and their actions. This is a kind of anthropomorphism with regard to deeds; they have allow Jahmiyyah (a sect of Mu'tazilah named after the deviant, Jahm ibn Safwan) to creep into their thinking, and ha mu'attalah (those who deny that Allaah can see). They said, "It does not make sense for Paradise to be create reward, because it will not be used or inhabited for a very long time. They rejected the aayaat and reports that false notions they seek to project onto Allaah (swt). They misinterpreted the texts and accused those who disa going astray and concocting bid'ah". Proofs from the Qur'aan and Hadeeth in support of this are, for example:
