Allah asks you (26) is the Eternal Fire better or the Eternal Garden?

Allah has prepared an Intense Eternal Fire for those who deny the Resurrection

When and for what the Disbelievers pray in the Eternal Fire?

What the noises produced from the Eternal Fire look like?

———————————————————

In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.

It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.

Allah’ questions are many.  In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.

In this article, Allah is asking mankind this question: is the Eternal Hell better or the garden of eternity which those who believe and guard against evil are promised? For them, that is a reward as well as a goal; it is their recompense and their arrival!  Therein, they have all that they desire; it is for your Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.

Verses 25:11-16 of the Noble Quran give the question in this article:

is the Eternal Hell better or the garden of eternity which those who believe and guard against evil are promised? For them, that is a reward as well as a goal; it is their recompense and their arrival! 

Therein, they have all that they desire; it is for your Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.

The meanings of verses 25:11-16 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 25:11 says:

Nay, they deny the coming of the Hour, the Resurrection, and for those who deny the coming of the Hour Allah has prepared an intense fire.

 

Verse 25:12 says:

When this intense fire sees them from a distant place, from a distance of 500 years, they will hear it raging, cracking, boiling like an enraged person when his heart boils with anger, and roaring, producing a powerful noise similar to the braying of a donkey (thereof) coming from the Fire. Alternatively, what is meant by their ‘hearing it raging’ is their vision of it and awareness of it.

 

Verse 25:13 says:

And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, the narrowness of an arrowhead thereof in the Fire, such that it constricts them; bound together, shackled, with their hands bound to their necks in chains, they will at that point pray for destruction there, for their own annihilation, and it will be said to them:

 

Verse 25:14 says:

Do not pray for a single annihilation on this day, but pray for much annihilation! Pray for much destruction, for what has befallen you! This will be the nature of your chastisement.

 

Verse 25:15 says:

Say O Muhammad: ‘Is that, which is mentioned of the threat of chastisement and the description of the Fire, better, or the Garden of Immortality which has been promised to the God-fearing, which will be, in God’s knowledge, exalted be He, their requital, their reward, and journey’s end?

The Garden of Immortality will be their reward and their place of return in the Hereafter.

 

Verse 25:16 says:

Therein in the Eternal Garden never to die or come out, they have all that they desire, they like, they want and they wish. Therein, there is no ageing, sickness; they will have whatever they want.

It is for your Lord a promise that must be fulfilled;

They asked Him and He gave them.

Chapter 50 of the Quran (14) Paradise is for those…

In the previous article, the Angels is kept throwing thousands by thousands of the disbelievers in the Eternal Hell and they say to the Hell: are you filled up. The Hell keep saying: are there any more?

Finally, the Eternal Hell is filled up to the full and it is hugely overcrowded with its dwellers.

And this is the ultimate eternal abiding of the unbelievers.

 

What about the believers?

The verses 50: 31-33 say:

 

Not far anymore from them, the Allah-fearing servants, those who kept from evil and those who warded off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies, will see with joy the Eternal Garden that is prepared for them, whereupon it will be said to them:

This, that you see, is what you were promised in the life of the world.

 

This is for everyone who turned to Allah in sincere repentance and who kept his law.

This is for every penitent one who was reverting after sin to obedience of Allah.

This is for everyone who is mindful of the bounds of Allah’s religion.

This reward and honor is for every observant of Allah’s command in his private moment and n his prayers.

This reward is for everyone who fears His Beneficent Lord even he has not seen Him.

This honor is for everyone who fears His Compassionate Lord while He is in the Unseen.

This Paradise is for everyone who comes to Allah with a contrite heart, sincere in his worship and profession of Allah’s divine Oneness.
