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.

Chapter 50 of the Quran (13) the Hell says: Are there any more?

Essential background of Allah’s promise:

 

If Allah had willed, He verily would have enforced mankind and Jinn to follow Islam.

Allah sent his entire messengers with one message saying: submit to Allah (which means Islam)

Then Allah gave mankind and Jinn the freedom of choice of faith and religion.

And every man and every jinni is responsible for the outcome of his choice at the Day of Judgment.

 

The verses 11:118-119 say:

If Allah had willed, He verily would have made mankind to follow one religion: the religion of Islam but they continue to differ in faith and religion save those on whom Allah has mercy.

And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled, namely: ‘I will surely fill Hell with jinn and mankind together’. (See the appendix)

 

Herein there is an Allah’s promise to fill the Eternal Hell with jinn and mankind

And of course, Allah’s word cannot be changed

 

Now imagine this figure:

The Angels is kept throwing thousands by thousands of the disbelievers in the Eternal Hell and the Angels say to the Hell: are you filled up

The Hell keep saying: are there any more.

This figure will be repeated successively until the last disbeliever enter the Hell.

Herein, the Hell is filled up according to Allah’s promise.

 

The verse 50:30 says:

 

Then, Allah will ask the Hell: are you filled to the full?

Actually, there is no room for anymore, but, fearing of Allah, the Hell will say: are there any more! The Hell wishes that there is no more because there is no room for anymore.

 

The Hell will say, by way of an interrogative, such as a question: ‘Are there any more?’

That is to say, ‘I [Hell] only have capacity for what I have been filled with’, in other words, ‘I am full!’

Finally, it is filled up to the full and it is outstandingly overcrowded with its dwellers.

 

The overcrowding with the resulting bad smell of the sweating, secretions, pus etc. is itself an additional punishment regardless of the Fire.
