Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the interpretation of the saying of the Exalted:[Al-A'raf 7:40]?
Answer:
It came in the hadith of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib regarding the description of the deathbed and the taking of the soul, the long hadith, that when the angels take the soul of the deceased, they ascend with it to the sky. The soul of the believer is opened for it the gates of the sky, and it is ascended to Allah the Exalted. The soul of the disbeliever is closed against it the gates of the sky, and they are not opened for it; it is thrown to the earth with a throw, and the gates of the sky are not opened for them. This is how the hadith interpreted this verse. This is the soul of the disbeliever. Yes, when it is taken and ascended to the sky, it is closed against it, and it is thrown to the earth with a throw, going to Sijjin, the lowest of the lowest, and may Allah protect us. Yes.

those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into
