Everyone will see Hell (19:71) Surah Maryam

[Ruhi_Rose]

 



"And (there is) not (any) of you but (will be) passing over it."  (19:71).  Translation Sahih International.

"There is not one of you but shall approach it."  (19:71)  Translation Pickthall.


Salam dear folks.  Does this mean everyone, believers as well as disbelievers, will approach or enter Hell?  I would appreciate much if someone can please elaborate a bit more on the interpretation and perspective of this Verse.

Wa'salam Sister Ruhi.   

"wa-in minkum ila wāriduhā"  (Noble Quran 19:71)


"And (there is) not (any) of you but (will be) passing over it."  (19:71).  Translation Sahih International.

"There is not one of you but shall approach it."  (19:71)  Translation Pickthall.


Some Hadith following commentators have explained this as saying everyone will enter Hell.  But even most Hadith based jurists have rejected that interpretation.  Such an explanation goes against the principles and values of the Noble Quran which asserts that believers will never enter Hell.  The correct interpretation is that every person will stand before Hell to view it, and as the following Verse 19:72 mentions, Allah Almighty will then rescue the pious believers and leave the disbelievers and transgressors on their knees .... the ones worthy to suffer the torment of Hell.

"Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees."  (19:72)  Translation Sahih International. 

"Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doers crouching there."  (19:72)  Translation Pickthall.

The perspective of Verse 19:71 is simply to let everyone know how Hell looks, something which most human beings kept denying throughout their earthly lives.  Surely, as everyone views Hell, it will be a relief for the believers to remember that they were not among the deniers.   As for the deniers, this moment will be their final downfall from whence there's no escape nor will it ever change for them. 

Hadith has created many lies about Verse 19:71, everything downright absurd and not at all indicated in the Noble Quran.  Just ignore them.  Only to be aware of the hadith fabrications on this Verse, you can check the page commentaries for V.19:71.    One of our registered members had also posted some information on such ahadith titled Why hadith built the bridge called sirat pul?   The Quran also does not give us any reason to confirm that on this occasion all of us will be passing over a bridge or pul.   It might be so.  Or it might be with some miracle of Allah Almighty ("kun faya kun") to make us pass over it and then rescue the believers and leave the disbelievers.   Only Allah knows best what would be the  description of that occasion.  We only know that He will surely let everyone view Hell.  That is clear and certain as in Verse 19:71 and Verse 19:72 confirms believers will be rescued.   Alhumdulilah.

Many thanks brother.  That was well explained, MashAllah. 

The Verse brings tears to my eyes.  A Day as serious as the Judgement Day with the most significant events, yet how the majority of this world's 7.5 billion dismiss it.     Indeed Allah states everyone will see that dreaded place, and everyone means everyone.    I pray all of us are counted among the righteous and rescued.   I pray we are all there with our families and loved ones and are all rescued together.  Ameen ya Rab, ameen!    Nothing more vital than this Day.

That Hadith narrations page you linked left my head reeling.  How they make light with guesses and stories of something as IMPORTANT as this.

Ameen, ameen, ameen.   That's a major and an essential du'a for a very crucial time when ONLY Allah can help, none else.

[Zeynab]

Ameen.   Alhumdulilah.  I absolutely love these two Verses, 1971-72.  Informative and comforting for believers, and a stark warning for disbelievers. 

May we be among the rescued.  Ameen ya Rab.

Wonderful thread.

Ameen ..... indeed beautiful Verses.
