Testifying that a specific person is in Paradise and the taking of the souls of the believers before the Hour
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is so-and-so from the people of Paradise? May Allah do him good? That is, it is said that so-and-so is from the people of Paradise.
The Shaykh:
The Exalted One sees that if a group testifies... I believe that the good culture is imported from the Sunnah that no one is testified to except the one to whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) testified.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
So if you combine it with the will, saying, “If Allah wills, he will enter Paradise.”
The Shaykh:
There is nothing; every believer who comes is in Paradise. It is known by the consensus of the Muslims that everyone who dies upon faith is from Paradise. The creed is definitive: the believer is in Paradise and the disbelievers are in the Fire. But a specific person, so-and-so the son of so-and-so, that is the subject of the discussion.
The questioner:
I ask Allah for you that the groups be healed.
The Shaykh:
No, not until the Sunnah is established and its signs come, the good wind. When the good wind comes, Allah will take the souls of the believers with it, and the wicked will remain until the Hour is established. Yes. Malik? You are the witnesses of Allah in His presentation.
