Opinion on residing in Hellfire temporarily

November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Salams everyone. 


From where did the idea get into the minds of some of our scholars presuming that those who are assigned Hellfire on the Day of Judgment will bear the torment for a certain number of days and then will be released from Hellfire and brought into Jannah?   Please enlighten me with your feedback dear folks.   This opinion leaves me perplexed as the Noble Quran makes no such assertions.

Wa'salam Sis Ruhi.    Some of them derive this concept by misunderstanding Verses 11:106-108 of Surah Hud.  Alhumdulilah, we also discussed these Verses several years ago, if you recall titled V.11:106-108 "save for that which your Rab wills" - (Surah Hud).

"As for those who will be wretched (on that day) they will be in the Fire;  sighing and wailing will be their portion therein, Abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which your Rab wills.  Indeed!  your Lord is Doer of what He will."    V.11:106-107  Hud.

"And as for those who will be glad (that day) they will be in the Garden, abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which your Rab wills:  a gift unfailing."   11:108  Hud.


In my opinion "so long as the heavens and the earth endure .."  means as long as the heavens and the earth last.

"save for that which your Rab wills."  is a pronouncement indicating that Allah Almighty has complete power to do whatever He wills or decides.

If He wants He can destroy the heavens and the earth and the entire universe any time He wills.  Similarly if He wants He can remove anyone He pleases from Hellfire or Jannah.  This is simply a manner of expression declaring and confirming the Supreme power of Allah Almighty to do as pleases Him.   These Verses are not supposed to be a confirmation that the residency of some folks in Hellfire nor Jannah will be temporary.

In our zoom meeting a sister was discussing this aspect with the so-called ustadah and then they concluded "after making the wrong doer taste sufficient punishment for a specific length of time, they will then be removed from Hellfire" with the presumption that the person will be brought to a much better place which is obviously Jannat or maybe some lower grade of Jannat .. whatever, even the lowest grade of Jannat will be millions of times better than any grade of Hellfire.   During their discussion, they never referred to any Quranic Verses, not even to Verses 106 to 108 of Surah Hud.

I see.   I think Sister Heba is right.  The notion arises from a profound misunderstanding of the Verses quoted.  Moreover, this notion is more commonly circulated by Muslim scholars located in the West to match the Christian view of downplaying Hellfire.   As you know, in altered Christianity, there is no such thing as Hellfire .. as if everyone, whether righteous or unrighteous or in between, will all be destined to Paradise.

Also some Muslims who have been disobedient to the Will of Allah, or some Muslims who have misguided children or grandchildren and they cannot do anything to change that, prefer to presume that punishment in Hellfire will be temporary.  It gives them more ease and peace.  But they forget that acquiring 'peace' by overlooking the facts asserted in the Quran and replacing that with guesswork is pointless.

As explained by A. A. Maududi, it means the opposite of what they may presume.   When Allah Almighty asserts His Supreme Power, it "emphasizes that there is no power that can deliver them from that everlasting torment.  Of course, Allah has complete power to forgive anyone He wills or to make a change in the term of the torment for anyone, for He Himself establishes the laws and there is no law higher than His Law so as to limit His powers."   The guilty will dwell in Hellfire because of His wrath and the righteous will dwell in Paradise because of His favor.  And Allah has total power to make changes in their situation, IF He wills.   It is not an assertion that the guilty will be reprieved and sent to Paradise after a while.

That again is a fine commentary.  Makes complete sense with consistency in regard to Quranic values.  Alhumdulilah.
