OF HELL

Q1: What is hell?
A. Allah Almighty has created a dreadful place for the chastisement
andpunishment of infidels, disbelievers and sinners which is
called"Jahannam" (hell). It has seventy thousand dangerous and
horrendous valleys with each valley having seventy thousand
similarhorrid dells and pits. These valleys, dells and pits are
infested with innumerable frightful scorpions, serpents and dragons.
Q 2: What is in hell?
A. There are varied torments in hell. It is dreadful even to think
ofthe torments therein. In sum, it has the torments of fire, chilling
cold, snakes, scorpions, poisonous animals etc. The flames of its fire
rage high unabatedly and overtake the infidelswith violent force. The
fuel of hell is humanbeings and stones.
Q 3: How will a sinful believer be absolved?
A. A believer will ultimately be absolved irrespective of his myriad
sins and admitted into paradise either by the blessing of Allah
Almighty or the intercession of His Darling Elect Hadrat Muhammad
Mustafa (may Allah's choicest blessings and peace be upon him) or
having served his term of punishment in hell. Paradise is the last and
ultimate abode of believers wherein they will live eternally.
Q 4: Is there any absolution for infidels ornot?
A. The major sins of infidelity and polytheismwill never be absolved.
Infidels and polytheists will live eternally in hell and face
different sorts of torments. They will also be locked in boxes of fire
which will be encased in other fire boxes. Every infidel and
polytheist will think that it is the last chastisementbut they will
get no relief and keep sufferingtorments upon torments.

OF PARADISE

Q 1: What is paradise?
A. Paradise is an abode of endless bliss which Allah Almighty has
created for the believers.It is comprised of one hundred classes and
the distance between two classes is like that of the distance between
the earth and heavens. Each heaven is so vast and spacious that there
will remain enough room if the whole world with allits contents is
placed therein.
Q 2: What is in paradise?
A. Allah Almighty has created such paraphernalia of physical and
spiritual bliss and felicity in it thatis unseen, unheard, un-imagined
and undreamt of. Even an emperor and king can not enjoy such
pleasuresand facilities which will be available to the inmates of the
lowest class of the paradise.
Q 3: Which will be the greatest blessing in paradise?
A. The greatest favour with which the believerswill be graced in
heavens is the"vision(sight) of Allah". All divine boons, bounties and
favours will be eclipsed by Allah's vision. Once believers had it they
would get absorbed in its exquisite ecstasy for ever.
Q 4: How many believers will be entered into heavens?
A. The Holy Prophet said that of my bondslaves, seventy thousands
would be admitted into heavens without any"reckoning". Everyone ofthem
would take a group of seventy thousand believers with him into
paradise. Allah Almighty would yet grace them and three more
multitudes of believers would accompany them. The exact number of
believers who will be entered into heavens is known to Allah or His
Choicest Prophet whom Allah Almighty has endowed with such knowledge.

THE GIST OF ISLAMIC BELIEFS

1. Allah is the One indeed. He has absolutely no partner. He alone is
worthy of being worshipped. He is all Independent and depends on none.
All theworlds and creatures aresubservient to Him.
2. We believe in all Apostles, Messengers andProphets whom Allah
Almighty sent for the guidance of humanity. Itis obligatory upon every
believer to respect and revere all Messengers and consider them as
Allah's "loved ones". Our kind lord and master Hadrat Muhammad (may
the choicest blessings & peace of Allah be upon him) is the leader and
highest of all the Apostles, Messengers andProphets.
3. Allah Almighty has revealed books to some Messengers which
are"Kalaam Allah"(speech ofAllah). Belief in all the revealed books
and in their contents is essential. Of all the revealed books, the
Glorious Qur-aan which was gifted to the Beloved Prophet (Hadrat)
Muhammad is the best and Allah Almighty Himself has taken up the
responsibility of its protection.
4. Angels are "Noori"(ethereal, luminous) creature of Allah. They are
neither male nor female. They are innocent and obedient servants of
Allah. They do what Allah commandsthem. They subsist on worship and
remembrance of Allah.
5. Genies have been created of fire. They live and die like
humanbeings. There are believers, disbelievers, good and bad in them.
Disbelieving and mischievous genies are called devils.
6. One day everything (angels, mountains, animals, the earth, the sky)
will perish like humanbeings. There willremain nothing in existence
but Allah alone. Then all things will be re-created and dead ones
resurrected from their graves. All willbe made to gather in a
particular field that is called "Hashar" (resurrection). The Balance
will be installed and doings of all will be weighed therein. Everyone
will get the nemesis of his/her misdeeds and sins and reward of
virtuous acts. Believers will be enteredinto paradise and infidels and
disbelievers will be cast into Hell.
7. The Hell has a bridge over it which leads to heavens. It is
called"Siraat"(straight pathway). It is thinner than a hair and
sharper than a sword. All people will have to cross this"Siraat". It
is the only pathway to reach heavens.
8. What had to happen in the world and what one had to do Allah
Almighty wrote all that with His eternally infinite knowledge. And
whatever has been decreed will certainly happen sans the slightest
change. This is called "Taqdeer" (predestination).
