For Muslims: Are my great-grandparents going to Hell because the Muslims at the time didn't practice Dawa?

Question

Are my great-grandparents and those before them going to burn in Hell because your great-grandparents made no effort to teach them about Allah and his messanger?

Answer 1

In Islam we are told by God that we will each be judged by what we did with our lives, good or bad. Those of us who knew Him and followed Him can gain Paradise, those of us who knew Him but refused Him will not. Those who did not know Him will not be judged based on something they had no knowledge of. There will be Muslims and non-Muslims who enter Paradise, and there will be Muslims and non-Muslims who do NOT enter Paradise. Your title does not guarantee your place in eternity, only your deeds and your devotion to your Creator.

Answer 2

Well, no person can be held accountable for what they do not know or never learned. The point where a person is held accountable for something is when they have knowledge of it, or else it would be unjust.

Allah only will ask us about those things He made apparent to us and then if we still denied them, He will judge. But nobody can say who will go to Heaven or Hell, except Allah, b/c nobody knows what is in people's hearts.

A lot of Muslims don't know about the obligations in Islam, either, so it's not really their fault. Each Muslim is told that they must gain knowledge, b/c that is a form of keeping yourself from doing bad things, and that is why knowledge is a must in Islam. And one cannot say, "I don't want to learn, b/c then I'll have to implement." B/c we know that Allah will help us through in following our obligations. :) I hope that helps.

Answer 4

Only Allah knows. However, if they lived a good life, followed Islam, and believed in Allah, Allah will take care of them in the afterlife.

Answer 5

Hey. I'm a 8 year Vietnam Vet. you can ask me.

Your Great P's. are not in a good situation. Not because they didn't practice dawa.

Because they rejected Jesus Christ.

Maybe mormans can baptise them. I dunno. Maybe Catholics can pray them out of wherever. I dunno.

There is NO 2nd chance with God Jehovah. Your G-P's, have already found this out.

Good Luck.

mooncheese to ya.

Answer 6

Why don't you ask all the Muslims serving in the United States Armed Forces who protect your freedom to ask stupid, prejudice questions.

Answer 7

a number of scholars has suggested that they will be tested, if they never heard of Islam or prophet Muhammed..

and the prophet peace be upon him, warned those who LISTENED AND LEARNT about him, and God knows best what will happen to them, but ofcorse, I am so far assuming they were christians..

I hope this will be helpful..

Answer 8

we all should know that we are in this life just to be tested and God knows what every one can do. so people who didn't have the chance to hear about Islam God will judge them based on his knowledge not based on test.

Answer 9

I don't know. If you do good you are going to heaven. If you did bad your going to hell. If you were a warrior and killed people I guess you are going to hell. Who are we to say. That is god to decide. I guess we will all know sooner or later.
