The existence of the Fire now and the response to those who deny it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the Fire currently existing? What is the wisdom behind its existence? And how do we respond to those who deny its existence?
The Shaykh:
This is a curious question that has no benefit. However, the Fire indicates that it exists, and Paradise exists, and the signs occurring in this world indicate the existence of both. The intense heat is from the breath of Hell, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 4319Sahih (Darussalam). This is evidence that it exists. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says, "I have prepared it for the transgressors." "I have prepared" means that it exists. I am preparing it for you. Yes. Rather, it indicates that it exists. The dead person is punished in his grave, and the door to the Fire is opened for him. This indicates that they pass through it. I mean, this research has no benefit, but people do not leave anything alone. Yes. Yes, indeed.
The presenter:
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Hurrah for prayer, hurrah for prayer. Hurrah for success. Hurrah for success. Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh:
Yes.

So He gave it two occasions to exhale, one in winter and one in summer.
