strengthen your Iman this Ramadan with our app one Islam TV available now on these [Music] platforms so this is a question that is always asked about well I have good friends I have good neighbors I have relatives I have uh people in my workplace they are good people or maybe I don't know them but there are a lot of good people in this world what will happen to them in the so no one can ask Allah and challenge Allah in what Allah does no one Whatever Allah does nobody can ask him he is not asked
about what he does this is what the Quran says they will be asked about what they do so that is the first point to answer this question and that is we are not in a position position to challenge Allah subhah wa taala Allah follows his own laws and he has legislated those laws the second point when it comes to assigning Mercy assigning assigning heaven and hell we have a very very clear rule we do not assign individuals to heaven and hell we do not assign personalities to J and we talk about generalities not specifics okay
your friend Michael dies no one has the right to say if Michael died is a Muslim or non-muslim he's going to go to heaven he's going to go to hell no one your friend Mustafa dies no one can say Mustafa was a Pious man he's going to go to Jenna doesn't matter we are quiet about individuals except if Allah has said what we can say ABAB is In N because Allah says so otherwise we are quiet about individuals we never assign any individual to any specific fate but we speak in generalities we speak with conditions
those who believe and do righteous deeds will go to Jenna this is generalities those who reject Allah will go to Janam this is generalities Mustafa Michael who might have done this and that we are quiet because we do not know what is inside of them okay the third point it is very very clear in the Quran and Sunnah that there is one path that leads to jenah the religion that is acceptable to Allah is Islam Allah says in the Quran they said not Allah they said be Yi be Nani you shall be guided no here
is you negate what preceded it no I will follow the IIM who worshiped Allah alone Allah subhana wa tala says in the Quran this is the most explicit verse in the Quran that is imaginable you cannot even word a verse that is more explicit it's not even possible in the Arabic Lang language whoever chooses any other way of life other than Islam it shall not be accepted of him and he shall be in the Hereafter amongst the losers you cannot get more explicit than this now having said this I then went on and I said
all of this we are talking about the paths that lead to Allah and we say there is one path that leads to Allah only one path and this does not mean that if somebody says he's on the path that he is actually on it I.E somebody says he's a Muslim doesn't mean he's going to go to Jenna doesn't mean it automatically nor does it mean that if somebody is not on the path that they might not be forgiven as an exceptional scenario and be caused to enter Jenna the path does not lead to Jenna if
it's not Islam but it is possible that somebody on another path might be forgiven by Allah due to spe specific circumstances and we all know exceptions are not made the rule the rule is very clear what is the rule whoever searches for a religion other than Islam whoever chooses a religion other than Islam it shall not be accepted of him and he shall be from the losers and the Hereafter from the and the Hereafter so it is possible that a person is not a Muslim and ends up in Jenna that is an exception we never
make it the rule we never say oh yes non-muslims are entering Heaven no or else you say something like this the purpose of Islam becomes meaningless we said there are exceptions how do we know their exceptions firstly Allah says in the Quran and Allah says in the Quran we will not punish anyone until the prophet has been sent and that's why our Prophet said that whoever hears about me and then rejects me aha so the one who doesn't hear about our Prophet Salli wasallam or our Scholars add to this the one who doesn't hear correctly
I.E he had a very negative image of Islam and he didn't know what Islam was he never read the books of Islam he never met a Muslim so this person what is his fate do we automatically say they're going to go to Jenna which is what some of our previous Scholars said that is also not very logical because if the one who doesn't know Islam automatically enters Jenna and you are a Muslim and you meet this person why should you give him da when automatically he's entering Jenna think about it like that this also doesn't
make any sense some of our Scholars said this but it makes no sense the correct position is mentioned in in iMed that our Prophet said there will be four people on the day of judgment and he mentioned them the old man who couldn't think straight when Islam came to him the the the decrepit old man number one number two the deaf person remember before there was signed language a person born deaf meant he is not communicating nobody can talk to him doesn't understand anything the you know Helen Keller inventing sign language changed the whole world
for that group of people and allowed them to communicate otherwise for centuries and centuries a person born deaf could not communicate with anything and so there was as if they were living in a different dimension so uh the one born deaf and the one born between two prophets right and the one the no Prophet was sent to so the prophet mentioned categories they will say to Allah on Judgment Day oh Allah it's not our fault fault and each one will give an excuse so Allah will say what if I had sent you a prophet and
you saw the prophet would you have believed in him of course on Judgment Day what will they say yes of course so Allah will say I will test you then Allah will send an Angel and the angel will have something that looks like fire and they will recognize him to be from Allah as an Angel and the angel will say if you truly believe in Allah jump into this and so those who trust Allah and jump in will be saved by Allah and enter Jenna and those who don't will have rejected the point is there
will be a test on Judgment Day for those people we can make upon this and say anyone who did not hear of Islam and lived in times and places where there was no access to Islam that person will be tested on Judgment Day no problem okay bottom line that this question we understand why it's so relevant people want to ask it we understand why people get emot emotional but at the same time from a textual and logical and rational perspective from unanimous perspective every single evidence of the Shar and our Common Sense tells you religions
are either right or wrong there's no middle path yes we live in this world in peace and Harmony no question about it yes we have good adab no question about it yes we are kind and merciful no question about it but on Judgment Day there is one religion that will be rewarded and there is one religion that is correct that you cannot both simultaneously be correct either it is okay to worship an idol or it is not okay either you bow down in front of Jesus Christ or you don't either you worship Allah or you
don't there is no middle ground so we say and this is what we preach to the people but we also realize there will be Exceptions there might be many exceptions but we never make the exceptions into a into a what into a rule we never preach the exceptions because when you preach the exception you're negating the rule you don't go and tell people oh guys don't worry many people will be forgiven on judgment they go ahead and commit sins no you don't do that do you you say the general rule The Sinner is going to
be punished that's what we preach right that's the whole purpose similar thing goes over here we preach there is one way and on the day of judgment there will be exceptions I want final Point again I want into a lot of detail but this is very uh this is very sensitive issues and people get very emotional understandably understandably the real one of the real problematic issues in our time so we talked about the one who has never heard of Islam but was overall religious we hope good for that person we hope good for that person
on Judgment Day we don't pronounce any judgment that that person never heard of Islam talk about the tribes of Brazil some you know or or go back 500 years the people living in this land the Native Indians they would never have heard of Islam we hope good for them that if they were faithful to their morality and they try to live good lives and inside everybody knows what is a good life we are hopeful but we don't pronounce a judgment we talked about those who have the potential to hear Islam but they don't do so
and we say that's not good news that's not that optimistic if they just lock themselves shut in their houses if they just want to live their lives like animals and don't think about higher cause they are falling short so that's a problem on them experience the power of uninterrupted viewing with our adree app one Islam TV allowing you to connect deeply with the content explore the rich teachings of Islam and strengthen your faith through our regular new content download the one Islam TV app [Music] now [Music] oh oh oh
