Hud 118-119

Hud 118-119

118- IF ALLAH WILLED, HE WOULD HAVE MADE PEOPLE ONE NATION, BUT THEY ARE STILL DIFFERING.

119- EXCEPT FOR THOSE ALLAH HAS MERCY UPON, FOR THIS HE CREATED THEM, AND YOUR LORD’S WORD IS FINAL, THAT I WILL FILL THE HELLFIRE UP WITH JINN AND ALL MANKIND.

Since the beginning of time, Allah the Highest sent guidance to mankind through prophets and messengers, peace upon them all.  Some followed that guidance and others did not.  Each of the two groups was later divided into subgroups and so on.  This happened to the followers of all the prophets and messengers, peace upon them all, starting with Adam and ending with Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him.

People differed and were divided into many religions, and religions divided into sects and denominations.  The Christians are Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Methodists, Puritans, Mormons and many more. The Muslims are Sunni and Shea and each is divided into more sects. The Jews are also divided into many sects. 

Even those who do not believe in God, can be atheists, Agnostics, Idle worshippers, or like the Buddhists just follow the morale code of a person, but not believing in God.

Each group believe themselves to be the right one, while they cannot all be right.

As far as the Muslim Faith is concerned, there are basic principles which are not open for discussion and which all persons have to accept to become Muslims.  These are:

1. The belief that there is no God other than Allah and that Mohamed is His messenger, the last of His prophets and messengers.
2. The belief in the Day or Resurrection, the Angels, Paradise and Hell-Fire, all Allah’s prophets and messengers and the Fate, good and bad.
3. To pray the Salah, fast in Ramadan, give Zakah and go on Hajj when possible.
4. To obey Allah’s rules and commands as much as possible.

Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “The Jews were divided into seventy one groups and my nation will divide into seventy three groups”.  (Ma:Fetan;17 & T:Eman;17 & Da:Syar;75)

Mankind and Jinn were created for the purpose of worshipping Allah the Highest who said: “I CREATED JINN AND HUMANS ONLY TO WORSHIP ME”.  (S:51 A:56)

To fulfil this purpose, they have first to believe, for after believing comes the worship.  Unfortunately for us, only the minority of people believe, while the majority do not.  This has always been the case, and will continue to be so.

Sadly, the Hellfire will have more than enough room for all the disbelievers, as Allah the Highest said in the Quran: “THE DAY WHEN WE WILL SAY TO THE HELLFIRE: ARE YOU FULL? AND IT WILL SAY: MAY I HAVE MORE”.  (S:50 A:30)

Both the Jinn and human beings will be judged on the Day of Resurrection and will be punished in the Hellfire.  Although Jinn were created before mankind, yet Allah the Highest made mankind His viceroys on Earth and choose the prophets and messengers from them. 

Some people, might ask about the Jinn being punished in the Fire while they are created from fire?  I would say that although 85% of man’s body is made of water, yet man can drown and die in water, in the mean time will burn in the fire, and his body’s water will not protect him from fire.  How it will happen is not our concern, for as long as Allah the Highest wills it, it will happen.
