Paradise and Hell by Umer Asghar PDF Download Info

Nothing is more vital to a believer than getting into Paradise and escaping Hell, in the end. This is what a person’s actions in this life will bear fruit towards. These topics, which deal with the invisible, are crucial questions of faith. Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar has addressed all the information pertinent to these concerns in this book. Every reader will become more aware of the ultimate aim in life as a result of the descriptions of Paradise and Hell by Umer Asghar and their occupants, and they will be kept occupied recalling these truths.

What is IMAN?

Iman is a verbal declaration, a physical action, and a mental conviction. Iman grows with deeds of obedience and shrinks with deeds of disobedience, and as a result, there are different levels of believers.

The essence of Iman is not invalidated by sins or disobedience, however more disbelief (al-Kufr al-Akbar) fully destroys it.

What is Kufr?

There are two kinds of kufr (disbelief): major (akbar) and small (asghar). The first classifies a person as a disbeliever by fully excluding him from Islam. The second is a disobedient act that has been given an overblown term for the goal of forewarning and deterring. Shirk (polytheism), Nifaaq (hypocrisy), Dhulm (oppression), and Fisq all fall under the same categories of “major” and “minor” (evil-doing).

Even if a Muslim engages in several acts of disobedience and does not repent from them, he does not become a kaafir (disbeliever) as long as he does not heartily approve of them. Even if he keeps on carrying out his sinful deeds, refuses to repent, and perishes in this situation, the Faasiq who believes in the prohibition of the crimes and vices he performs is not regarded as a kaafir. His eternal destiny is up to Allah, who may pardon him or punish him for a while in the fires of Hell before bringing him out of there into Paradise.

Islam and Imaan:

When Islam and Iman are used together, the former refers to heart-based belief and the latter to behaviour. Each of them, when mentioned separately, are referring to Islam as a whole.

If someone engages in actions of “kufr” (disbelief), we do not label them as Kaafir unless clear, convincing evidence has been presented against them by those who are qualified to do so, demonstrating to us that they were done knowingly, purposefully, and of their own free will.

What is Paradise and Hell?

Are these locations where people would physically abide for all time? Such queries were frequently posed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), particularly in relation to the Day of Judgment. It is significant to notice that the Quran, like other scriptures, uses symbols more frequently than descriptive language, though not exclusively. To stay eternal, no scripture could be purely descriptive. Its use of symbolism gives it both a deep meaning and an eternal relevance.

Both common people and experts in many fields of expertise should be able to understand the texts. Ordinary people would not be inspired by a scripture if it were just for the extremely knowledgeable, and the extremely knowledgeable would not be drawn to it if it had a flat description and no levels of significance.

So, both laypeople and experts should be able to understand what the Quran says regarding paradise and hell.

Well, it is, provided we interpret the descriptions of paradise and hell literally and symbolically. There is also another factor that needs to be considered, and Sufis have frequently emphasised it. According to Sufis, one should never act out of fear or greed, for reward or punishment. This is shown by a classic tale about the renowned Sufi saint Rabia Basri.
