Quran
Taken together,
Sura (69) and
verse (84:7-12)
present a picture of the reckoning Muslims face on Judgment Day, in which believers are given sentences based on their deeds.Quran
(19:70-72) - "And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be
burned therein. There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a
fixed ordinance of thy Lord. Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and
leave the evil-doers crouching there." No person will avoid going to hell,
but Muslims will eventually be pulled out.
Quran (4:95)
- "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and
those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their
persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with
their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in
Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He
distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward."
Allah distinguishes Muslims from one another based on their willingness to fight
and die in Holy War. Non-violent Muslims will not receive the same reward
as the Jihadis.
Quran (8:15-16)
- "O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never
turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a day -
unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he
draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge
(indeed)!" Not only does Muhammad lay down the principle that a Muslim
can serve time in Hell, but they may find themselves there for neglecting to kill unbelievers when directed to do so.
Quran (9:39)
- "If ye go not forth He will afflict you with a painful doom..."
It isn't enough to believe. Muhammad is telling his soldiers (who do not
want to fight) that they will be sent to hell if they do not join the battle.
Quran
(3:169-170) - "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead.
Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They
rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah: And with regard to those left behind,
who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact
that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve." Martyrs go
directly from life to paradise, where they wait for those who must first go
through the Day of Judgment.
