“And they say, “Never will the Fire touch us, except for a few days.” Say, “Have you taken a covenant with Allah? For Allah will never break His covenant. Or do you say about Allah that which you do not know?” Yes, whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him – those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.” (Qur’an 2:80-81)

Every now and again there is someone who stops by this blog/website and leaves an amazing comment. Something that is so eye-opening and poignant that it deserves not to be tucked away in the comment section but broadcast as far as Allah (swt) allows the knowledge to transmit.
One such comment was under the entry here:
“By the logic of those who argue that sinful believers who earned Jahannam will eventually go to paradise, Iblis himself would eventually enter Jannah because of his “righteous deeds” before he disobeyed Allah. We know, according to the Quran, he had the rank of the angels.”
“But the undeniable fact that Allah cursed Iblis to Jahannam over ONE sin, not prostrating to a creation. Allah commanded you to prostrate too. That is more than enough evidence that just because you believe doesn’t mean you will enter Jannah.”
“Iblis NEVER denied that Allah was his lord. Rather, he became arrogant and disobeyed the command of Allah. It seems this sin in and of itself is far more damning than a disbeliever not believing. It’s because Iblis KNEW about Allah’s power, yet he still disobeyed.”
“Even in Iblis’s khutbah to the companions of the fire, Iblis denies the association of him as a partner to Allah, and he affirms that Allah promised them the truth, and he promised them but betrayed them.”
“Anyone who accepts the notion that Jahannam is temporary for ANYONE without explicit proof is only responding to shaytan. Allah promises eternal bliss or eternal torment. Shaytan promises delusion.”
“I pray more Muslims see and understand the severity of this topic.”
What more can be said except Amin! Very well said, Zheyn!
