No
Paradise for the Denier
The Holy Prophet
said: "My entire ummah will go to Paradise save one who denies." The Companions
inquired: "0 Apostle of Allah! Who's the person who denies you"? He replied:
"He who obeyed me entered Paradise, and he who disobeyed me and did not
believe in me denied." (Mishkat)
In this Hadith the Holy Prophet
states that whosoever does not act upon his holy statements is a denier
and such a denier will not enter Paradise along with his ummah; for had
he had perfect faith and had made him (the Prophet) his beloved sincerely,
he would have loved each one of his statements and actions, and he would
have acted according to them, but when he did not act upon the sunnahs,
it becomes clear that he was a repudiator.
Though his repudiation is not like that of the
disbelievers and the polytheists, he does share, to some extent, this quality
with them and so he will be kept first in Hell along with his comrades;
since he had imitated them and co-operated with them in the world, he will
have to put up with them. The only difference is that while the infidels
and the polytheists will have to live there (in Hell) forever, he will
not live there always; the punishment of Hell will be proposed for him
in proportion to the extent and time he had copied them and forsaken his
Prophet's methods.
O Lord of the Universe! Bestow upon this ummah
the grace to obey its true Prophet
and save it from hell and enter it into Paradise along with the very first
group of Your Beloved Prophet. Amen!
