[4] Quranic Verses Asserting Unrepentant Sinners' Fate in Hell for Eternity

[4] Quranic Verses Asserting Unrepentant Sinners' Fate in Hell for Eternity


1- We assert here the Quranic fact that in order to avoid Hell and to enter into Paradise in the Hereafter, two sides of one equation must be there: adhering to the monotheistic belief/faith and performing many good deeds. This equation is as follows: monotheism + good deeds = piety = Paradise. This is why the Quranic expression (those who believed and performed good deeds) is repeated several times in the Quranic text. Thus, adherence to monotheism without performing many good deeds is fruitless and so is performing many good deeds without sincere monotheism/piety. Therefore, the Hell-dwellers will be disbelievers and also believing sinners; any sinners who died without repentance whether they have believed in the Holy Quran or disbelieved in it will abide into Hell for eternity; they will never be made to get out of it: "…He who disobeys God and His Messenger - for him is the Fire of Hell, in which they will dwell forever." (72:23). It is a common but wrong assumption among the Muhammadans that those abiding in Hell for eternity are only the disbelievers who have rejected the Quranic Message whereas sinful Muslims who have believed in the Quranic Message will be tormented inside Hell temporarily and they would be made to get out of it to enter into Paradise as per some hadiths. This means that most Muhammadans intentionally disregard and overlook Quranic verses which mention grave sins causing sinners who die unrepentant to enter into Hell for eternity in the Hereafter. Sadly, most Muhammadans (who consider themselves as 'Muslims') fall into the trap of such grave sins.

2- Such grave sins leading to Hell (and entering it means never getting out of it) include usury or moneylending to the destitute/impoverished people (especially at compound interest rates) instead of donating Zakat/charity money to them; this grave sin was committed in Yathreb during Muhammad's lifetime: "O you who believe! Fear God within piety, and forgo what remains of usury, if you are believers. If you do not, then beware of a war by God and His Messenger against you. But if you repent, you may keep your capital, neither wronging, nor being wronged." (2:278-279); "Those who swallow usury will not rise, except as someone driven by Satan's touch. That is because they say, “Commerce is like usury.” But God has permitted commerce, and has forbidden usury. Whoever, on receiving advice from his Lord, refrains, may keep his past earnings, and his case rests with God. But whoever resumes - these are the dwellers of Hell-Fire, wherein they will abide forever." (2:275). 

3- Such grave sins leading to Hell (and entering it means never getting out of it) include transgressing the Quranic legislations regarding inheritance shares: "These are the laws set by God. Whoever obeys God and His Messenger, He will admit him into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. That is the great attainment. But whoever disobeys God and His Messenger, and transgress His laws, He will admit him into the Hell-Fire, wherein he abides forever, and he will have a shameful torment." (4:13-14). This means that 'Muslims' who violate inheritance legislations and die without repentance and making amends will enter into Hell for eternity.

4- Such grave sins leading to Hell (and entering it means never getting out of it) include when the wealthy become unjust and tyrannical while abandoning themselves to committing grave sins; when they die without repentance, their fate is Hell for eternity and they will never get out of it since its gates will be closed in on them forever after all Hell-dwellers enter into it: "Woe to every slanderer backbiter. Who gathers wealth and counts it over. Thinking that his wealth has made him immortal. By no means. He will be thrown into the Crusher. And what will make you realize what the Crusher is? God's kindled Fire. That sees into the hearts. It closes in on them. In extended columns." (104:1-9).

5- Such grave sins leading to Hell (and entering it means never getting out of it) include intentional murder of an innocent, peaceful person; murderers will be cursed for eternity inside Hell: "Whoever kills a believer deliberately, the penalty for him is Hell, where he will remain forever. And God will be angry with him, and will curse him, and will prepare for him a terrible torment." (4:93). Of course, the Quranic verse 4:93 informs us that Arabian men who, after the death of Muhammad, committed grave sins within the Arab conquests, which preceded the grave sins committed within the Arab civil wars, will enter into Hell since they caused the murder of hundreds of thousands of people. We infer that devilish hadiths about sinners getting out of Hell for merely being labeled as 'Muslims' were invented specially to declare such Arabian warriors 'innocent' and to defend them by pretending that the Quranic verse 4:93 does not apply to them, because such historical figures have been deified decades after their death.  

6- Such grave sins leading to Hell (and entering it means never getting out of it) include fornication; fornicators who died unrepentant will never get out of Hell on the Last Day: "…and do not commit adultery. Whoever does that will face [Hell] torments. The torment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will dwell therein in humiliation forever. Except for those who repent, and believe, and perform good deeds. These - God will replace their bad deeds with good deeds. God is ever Forgiving and Merciful." (25:68-70).

7- We conclude, then, from the abovementioned points that sinful Muslims who die without repentance will enter into Hell for eternity, and this will be their inevitable fate; they will never be made to get of Hell for merely being labeled, in this transient world, as 'Muslims'.

Would Sinful Muslims Get out of Hell to Enter into Paradise?
Most people assume that sinful Muslims who died without acceptable repentance will enter into Hell temporarily, as if to purge such sins within a purgatory stage, before getting out of Hell to enter into Paradise to abide therein forever. We refute this myth using the Holy Quran. We trace the roots of this erroneous notion in the eras before and after the descent of the Holy Quran. Refuting this notion using the Quranic verses clarifies the truth to all monotheists.
