What is the meaning of Allah’s Saying: “And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allâh, nor kill such person as Allâh has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse – and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace;” [al-Furqan: 68-69] Do these Ayahs (Qur’anic verses) mean that a person who commits all of the three mentioned major sins will abide in Hellfire forever or that applies to whoever commits only one of them? And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah properly.

عن ثوبان رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “إن الله زَوَى لي الأرض، فرأيت مشارقها ومغاربها، وإن أمتي سيبلغ ملكُها ما زُوِيَ لي منها. وأعطيت الكنْزين الأحمر والأبيض. وإني سألت ربي لأمتي أن لا يهلكها بسَنَةٍ بعامةٍ، وأن لا يُسَلِّطَ عليهم عدوا من سوى أنفسهم فيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ؛ وإن ربي قال: يا محمد، إذا قضيتُ قضاءً فإنه لا يُرَدُّ، وإني أعطيتك لأمتك أن لا أهلكهم بسنة عامة، وأن لا أُسَلِّطَ عليهم عدوا من سوى أنفسهم فيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ ولو اجتمع عليهم مَنْ بأقطارها، حتى يكون بعضُهم يُهْلِكُ بعضًا ويَسْبِي بعضُهم بعضًا”. ورواه البرقاني في صحيحه، وزاد: “وإنما أخاف على أمتي الأئمةَ المضلين، وإذا وقع عليهم السيف لم يرفع إلى يوم القيامة. ولا تقوم الساعة حتى يلحق حي من أمتي بالمشركين، وحتى تعبد فِئامٌ من أمتي الأوثان. وإنه سيكون في أمتي كذابون ثلاثون؛ كلهم يزعم أنه نبي، وأنا خاتم النبيين لا نبي بعدي. ولا تزال طائفة من أمتي على الحق منصورة لا يضرهم من خذلهم حتى يأتي أمر الله تبارك وتعالى”.

Thawbān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah brought the corners of the earth together for me, so I saw its eastern and western parts. The dominion of my Ummah will definitely reach as far as what was brought together for me (all parts of the world). I have been granted the two treasures, the red and the white. I asked my Lord not to destroy my Ummah due to a common drought nor to afflict them with an enemy from other than themselves who would annihilate them. My Lord said: ‘O Muhammad, when I pass a decree, it is not retracted. I have granted that I will not destroy your Ummah by a common drought, nor will I release against them an enemy from other than themselves, who will annihilate them – even if the people from the surrounding regions join forces against them – until they themselves kill and capture each other.'” Al-Burqāni narrated this Hadīth in his Sahīh with this addition: “I only fear for my Ummah the misguiding leaders. If the sword falls upon them, it will not be lifted until the Day of Resurrection. The Hour will not be established until a community from my Ummah join the polytheists and until large groups from my Ummah worship idols. There will be in my Ummah thirty impostors, each of them claiming to be a prophet. I am the seal of the prophets; there will be no prophet after me. A group from my Ummah will continue to uphold the truth and be victorious, regardless of those who let them down (did not support them), until the command of Allah, Exalted and Glorified, comes.”

There is no god worthy of worship except Allah ( Subwana wa ta Allah) – and Nabi Muhammad (sal Allahu Alaihi wa sallam) Is His Rasul/ (Last) Messenger
