@JCEarl @quirkypastor Actually only a few will be in hell forever as stated by the Quran on many occasions. Rest Allah knows the best.

@hearthborn @quirkypastor I think I'm seeing a few different interpretations in this thread, which I fully expected. Goal was not to start any kind of fight, just to learn.

Thank you all!

@JCEarl @quirkypastor I didn’t get any fight vibes. All in all hust a discussion and a healthy one at that from my part.
@hearthborn @JCEarl nope. No fighting. Just asking questions and learning. 😉 I am curious however if like in most other religions, there are differing understandings/interpretations of this? Like Christians have a really varied and broad understanding of hell, depending on who you talk to or what denomination they’re part of.
@quirkypastor @JCEarl Oh yes, there are alot of variations and teachings in Islam as well. I mean there are the Shias Sunnis Salafis Ahmadis Wahabis etc all with their versions of interpretations. So majorly Sunnis and Shias are the two main ones with their own theological understandings of Islam and the Prophets.
@hearthborn @JCEarl I loved learning about Sufi 🥰 but I’m an artist so that whole cosmic dance of the universe stuff is up my alley.
@quirkypastor @JCEarl My mentor is known as the Father of Sufism. If you see some of my recent blogs you will know what I talk about.
@hearthborn @JCEarl for example this gentleman seems to differ on this. I learned more the way you are speaking of, but this seems to contradict that
@quirkypastor @JCEarl So yea basically there are people who take the literal word of the Quran without considering their origins, context, sources etc. They forget the 7 layers of the Quranic verse and stick to the literal meaning. Who goes to heaven and hell is completely to God, however there are also certain actions and indicators mentioned in the narrations. But If I pride that Im m Muslim and only ill go to heaven and everyones going to hell, is not how it works
@JCEarl @hearthborn @quirkypastor There will always be strong disagreements just as you find in every religion and every secular ideology. Accept what is most beautiful and humane, what resonates with your good heart the most. We’ll find companionship there. 💚
@laurysilvers @JCEarl @quirkypastor True. Thats kind if the self ego clash.
