Question: All Muslims shall go to
Heaven while all Non-Muslims shall go to Hell. Is this statement true?
Answer: This statement is not true.
According to the Qur’an only
those people, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, shall go to Hell who knowingly
deny a truth which reaches them and do not fulfil the requisites of their
beliefs in the truths they come across. Those who do, shall go to paradise
whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims.
Belief in Allah, in the Hereafter
and in all the Prophets are some of these truths.
It must also be appreciated that after the Companions
of the Prophet (sws) have borne witness to the religion of truth in their
times to the non-Muslims, it is now the duty of every non-Muslim to give
a sincere thought to Prophethood of Muhammad and to the consequences of
professing disbelief in him.
