In the Name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace
and blessings be upon His Messenger.
It is never for us to judge people’s fate. Being our Creator, only Allah knows what is in our
hearts, our intentions, our actions, and our speech. For Muslims, Islam is the
final religion that Allah has sent for all peoples. There are Qur’anic verses
which generally indicate that the believers will enjoy the eternal blessings in
paradise while the disbelievers will be punished in hell forever. Ibn `Abbas, the well-known scholar of the
Qur’an, comments on the Qur’anic verse {In the day (of Judgment) when He
will gather them together (He will say): O you assembly of the jinn! Many of
humankind did you seduce. And their adherents among humankind will say: Our
Lord! We enjoyed one another, but now we have arrived at the appointed term
which You appointed for us. He will say: Fire is your home. Abide therein
forever, save him whom Allah wills (to deliver). Lo! Your Lord is Wise, Aware}
(Al-An`am 6: 128), “This verses implies that we should leave the question of
judging the disbelievers’ fate to Allah”. (Al-Qurtubi, Al-Jami` li Ahkam
Al-Qur’an, 7: 84)
Given the above, it is our duty, as Muslims,
to deliver Islam's message to all people through dialogue, good manners, and
translating Islamic teachings into practice.
