Question
Is it correct that kuffaar will be in Jahannam forever? Many Muslims cannot reconcile with this belief. What is their status in the Shariah?
Answer
Yes, the Qur'aan states so emphatically and in numerous verses. Those who reject this Qur'aanic teaching are kuffaar. They are not Muslims. Shaitaan has corrupted their brains and ruined their Imaan. It is because they reconcile with Iblees that they are unable to reconcile with the categorical commands of Allah Ta'ala.
Shaitaan whispers futile issues into their brains in order to efface their Imaan. When such evil thoughts of kufr assault the mind, immediately recite Istighfaar and ignore the shaitaani waswasah.
Whatever Allah Ta'ala will do with the kuffaar in Qiyaamah is His prerogative. No one can say or do anything about it. Allah Ta'ala is the Creator. He is Wise, Just and Merciful. So, whatever He will decree for the kuffaar will be just. He knows and we know not. Our ideas will not influence Allah Ta'ala. He does as He pleases and wills.
