Attaching Fathers to Their Sons in Paradise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh’s statement regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Tur 52:21] In this verse, it is imagined that our descendants will be attached to their fathers in Paradise if the fathers’ rank is lower than the sons’ rank. The question is: if the fathers’ rank is higher than the sons’ rank, are the fathers attached to the sons?
Answer:
This is what the evidence indicates, but considering the general favor of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and that He, Glorified and Exalted is He, bestows favor upon relatives by gathering them in one rank so that their eyes may be pleased with one another, considering the favor of Allah, this may be said. However, in terms of specific evidence, I do not know of any specific evidence for this. Yes.
And the Shaykh’s statement regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَانٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْAnswer:
