*THE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT* Hell is eternal, but it CAN/MAY end: خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ "They will remain in Hell forever, as long as the heavens and earth endure, 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀." (Qur'an 11:107). Ishaaq said: "𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗿'𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲." قال حرب: سألت إسحاق قلت: قول الله: {خالدين فيها ما دامت السماوات والأرض إلا ما شاء ربك} [هود: ١٠٧] وقال: أتت هذه الآية على كل وعيد في القرآن. "مسائل حرب" ص ٤٢٩ ('Masaail Harb', 429). In principle, both Hell and Paradise are eternal, as per the Sunni creed — unless God wills otherwise. Think of it like this: You sign a contract agreement with 1,000 clauses, but the final clause states: "𝙄 𝙝𝒂𝙫𝒆 𝒕𝙝𝒆 𝒂𝙪𝒕𝙝𝒐𝙧𝒊𝙩𝒚 𝒕𝙤 𝙖𝒍𝙩𝒆𝙧 𝙤𝒓 𝒗𝙤𝒊𝙙 𝙩𝒉𝙞𝒔 𝒄𝙤𝒏𝙩𝒓𝙖𝒄𝙩 𝙖𝒕 𝒂𝙣𝒚 𝒕𝙞𝒎𝙚." That single clause holds the power to override and terminate all others. So, in the end, it's up to God. Nobody can say that Hellfire WILL end, and nobody can say that it CANNOT end. 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲. 𝗜𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝘁. Our focus should be on not getting to Hell in the first place, may Allah protect us, Ameen *IT'S TIME FOR SOLAATUL SUBH AT NEW DAWN* May Allah accept it from you and us. Aameen *Allaahu I Musta'aan*
