Question:
What is meant by guidance in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[As-Saffat 37:23]?
Answer:
This guidance is a specific type. The guidance in the Hereafter is to the dwellings; the people of Paradise will be guided to their dwellings in Paradise, and the people of the Fire, may Allah protect us from it, will be guided to their dwellings in the Fire. This is guidance in the Hereafter; they are guided to their dwellings. Yes,[As-Saffat 37:23] means to throw them down, and Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, says: [Muhammad 47:5] He will guide them, meaning after death. [Muhammad 47:4] And they are the martyrs, so He will not make their deeds lost. He will guide them; He will guide them after they die. Yes, He will guide them to their dwellings in Paradise. [Muhammad 47:5-6] This is a specific guidance in the Hereafter. Yes.
Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned the types of guidance in *Miftah Dar al-Sa'adah* (The Key to the Abode of Happiness) that they are seven. I can recall seven types. Some say four. Refer to the book *Miftah Dar al-Sa'adah* in the chapter on the two migrations and the path of the two happinesses. Yes, the path of the two migrations. It is not *Miftah Dar al-Sa'adah*, but *Tariq al-Hijratayn wa Bab al-Sa'adatayn* (The Path of the Two Migrations and the Gate of the Two Happinesses). Yes.
