Is it obligatory for Paradise to be due to a person if the general public praises him in any time?

The questioner : The Amir al-Mu'minin holds that this praise, the fact that the one being praised is in Paradise, he sees it as general for the entire Ummah. Is the Amir al-Mu'minin there?

The Shaykh : Majid.

The questioner : I mean 'Umar.

The Shaykh : (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.

The questioner : They praised the person whose funeral was being held, and he saw that their praise was a cause for it.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, Paradise is obligatory for him, yes.

The questioner : So does this come from his view?

The Shaykh : It supports the words of the Shaykh al-Islam.

The questioner : It is general for all individuals of the Ummah, meaning praise from other than the difficult ones.

The Shaykh : As I told you at the beginning, are we obligated to testify that so-and-so is among the people of Paradise? We are not obligated, but we are obligated to speak the truth regarding him. Our testimony or lack of testimony does not benefit anything. If he is among the people of Paradise, he is among them whether we testify or not, and if he is not, he is not among them. But it is the duty of a Muslim toward his brother to clarify the characteristics he possesses.
