The Meaning of the Hadith: “Indeed, Allah has forbidden the Fire for the one who says, ‘There is no god but Allah’”

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, among the questions that came in to the program, we would like to remind you of the program's phone number before that: zero, one, one, four, four, two, three, eight, three, one, three. He says: A hadith was reported: .

Answer:
Yes, the hadith is authentic. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has forbidden the Fire for the one who says seeking thereby the Face of Allah. It is not merely the words, but he says it with intention, with the intention of one who knows its meaning and acts in accordance with its implications. As for its meaning, it is that there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He believes this, acknowledges it, and acts in accordance with its implications, so he does not associate anything with Allah. He avoids major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and minor shirk. And whoever says it in this manner, Allah forbids him from the Fire.
And he will enter Paradise. He may be punished for his sins, but his ultimate destination is Paradise. So the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), even if they are punished for their sins, they will not remain in the Fire forever; their ultimate destination is Paradise. Yes.
