In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Believing in the Hereafter includes knowing that Heaven and Hell are eternal. Our debits (one for one) and our credits (multiplied manifold) determine our place in the Hereafter. If our destiny is Hell, it is eternal (Quran 2:162, 3:88, 5:37, etc.). If, God willing, our destiny is Heaven, we will abide therein forever (Quran 9:22, 10:26, 25:76, etc.). Believing in the Hereafter also means knowing that no one can intercede on our behalf. We, each of us, face God as an individual (Quran 19:95) and He alone is the Judge.

    Heaven and Hell are Eternal
[Quran 10:26-27] For the righteous, the reward will be multiplied manifold. Their faces will never experience any deprivation or shame. These are the dwellers of Paradise; they abide therein forever.
As for those who earned sins, their requital is equivalent to their sin. Humiliation is their lot, and no one beside GOD can protect them. Their faces will seem overwhelmed by masses of dark night. They will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide therein forever.


May God grant us clear awareness of the Hereafter and guide us on the path that leads to Paradise.
