الإيمان باليوم الآخر
Faith in the Last Day
وَنُؤْمِنُ بِالْبَعْثِ وَجَزَاءِ الْأَعْمَالِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالْعَرْضِ وَالْحِسَابِ وَقِرَاءَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَالثَّوَابِ وَالْعِقَابِ وَالصِّرَاطِ وَالْمِيزَانِ
We have faith in the Resurrection and the recompense for actions on the Day of Resurrection, the presentation of deeds, the reckoning, and the reading of the book of deeds, the reward and punishment, the Bridge over Hell (al-sirat),[114] and the Scale (al-mizan).[115]
وَالْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ مَخْلُوقَتَانِ لَا تَفْنَيَانِ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَبِيدَانِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ قَبْلَ الْخَلْقِ وَخَلَقَ لَهُمَا أَهْلًا فَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَضْلًا مِنْهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ عَدْلًا مِنْهُ وَكُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ لِمَا قَدْ فُرِغَ لَهُ وَصَائِرٌ إِلَى مَا خُلِقَ لَهُ
Paradise and Hellfire are two creations that never end, nor perish.[116] For Allah Almighty created Paradise and Hellfire before the rest of creation, then He created people for them.[117] Whoever He wills enters Paradise due to His grace, and whoever He wills enters Hellfire due to His justice.[118] Everyone acts in accordance with what is decreed for him, becoming that for which he was created.[119]
وَالْخَيْرُ وَالشَّرُّ مُقَدَّرَانِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ
Good and evil have both been decreed for the servants.[120]
[114] “The weighing of deeds that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy with good, they will be successful.” (Sūrat al-A’rāf 7:8)
[115] Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said, “I have come to know that the bridge over Hell is thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 183, Sahih)
[116] “When the people of Paradise will be sent to Paradise, and the people of Hellfire will be sent to Hellfire, until they are separated between them. Then, death will be slaughtered and a heavenly caller will announce: O people of Paradise, there is no death! O people of Hellfire, there is no death! For the people of Paradise, it will add joy to their joy, and for the people of Hellfire, it will add grief to their grief.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2850, Sahih)
[117] “When Allah created Paradise and Hellfire, He sent Gabriel to Paradise saying: Behold it and what I have prepared therein for its people.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2560, Sahih)
[118] “Allah said to Paradise, ‘You are My mercy with which I show mercy to those of My servants whom I will.’ Allah said to Hellfire, ‘You are My punishment with which I punish those of My servants whom I will, and both of you will be full.’” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4850, Sahih)
[119] We were sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “There are none among you but that his place in Paradise or his place in Hellfire are decreed.” We said, “O Messenger of Allah, shall we not depend on this alone?” The Prophet said, “No, you must work, for all will be facilitated.” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4945, Sahih)
[120] “We tested them with good and evil that perhaps they would return to Allah.” (Sūrat al-A’rāf 168)
