Question:
How many levels are there in Paradise, and what is the share of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is it true that the lowest level of the Fire is a place of punishment by the bitter cold?

Answer:
Answer: Yes, Paradise has levels. The distance between any two levels is like the distance between the sky and the earth, and no one knows their number except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for the Fire, it has levels, some beneath others. The lowest level of the Fire is the abode of the hypocrites, as it says: {Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire, and you will not find for them any helper. [145] Except those who repented} [Surah al-Nisa: 145-146], if they repented from hypocrisy before their death, then Allah will accept their repentance. As for the bitter cold, Allah knows best. It is in the Fire, and Allah knows best in which level of it it is.
