A pamphlet on the path to the future and some of what will occur on the Day of Resurrection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I have come across a pamphlet titled (The Path to the Future), which consists of a drawing of the Last Day, including the Sirat, the Scales, Paradise, and the Fire, along with the use of terms such as applying the word "luggage" to deeds, stating that it is not permissible to carry anything other than this luggage, and other matters present in the attached copy to clarify my meaning in the question. I ask you to clarify the truth in these matters. May Allah preserve you and care for you.
with terms such as using the word "furniture" to refer to actions, and that it is not permissible to carry anything other than this furniture, and so on, as found in the attached copy, so that my meaning in the question becomes clear. I ask you to clarify the truth in these matters. May Allah preserve you and take care of you.
A: It is not permissible to distribute this pamphlet titled (The Path to the Future) because it contains depictions of unseen matters of the Hereafter, such as Paradise, the Fire, the Sirat, and the Scales. This is because the mind cannot comprehend their nature, and because this act diminishes their importance. It is an innovation, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against innovations in matters. Therefore, it is obligatory to prevent its printing, publication, and distribution.
