Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is meant by guidance in the saying of the Exalted:[As-Saffat 37:23] [As-Saffat 37:23]
Answer:
This guidance is a specific type. Guidance in the Hereafter is to the abodes. The people of Paradise are guided to their abodes in Paradise, and the people of the Fire, may Allah protect us from it, are guided to their abodes in the Fire. This is guidance in the Hereafter; they are guided to their abodes. Yes,[As-Saffat 37:23] means He guides them. So Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, says: "He will guide them and set their affairs in order." "He will guide them" means after death. [Muhammad 47:4] and they are the martyrs, so He did not make their deeds lost. He will guide them after they die. Yes, He will guide them to their abodes in Paradise. [Muhammad 47:5-6] for Him. This is a specific guidance in the Hereafter.
Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned the types of guidance in *Miftah Dar al-Sa'adah* (The Key to the Abode of Happiness). I recall there are seven types, though some say there are four. Refer to the book *Bab al-Hijratayn wa Tariq al-Sa'adatayn* (The Gate of the Two Migrations and the Path of the Two Happinesses), not *Tariq al-Hijratayn wa Bab al-Sa'adatayn*.
