The third and final question about the Muslim funeral, Muslims do you think he will go to heaven?

Question

I am not asking this to be smart, he used to drink beer and smoke cigars. He never went to the mosque or prayed. He never followed the religion at all apart form not eating pork. I know that these things are against what the Quran says, so do you believe he will go to heaven

Answer 1

All I can tell you is this. It is up to God to take him into his own mercy.

We believe that even if he goes to the hell fire he will not last there for an eternity as long as in his heart he BELIEVED in only ONE GOD

May God bless his soul

Answer 2

Well what difference does it make what we believe.

God asks us to do our last duty to His servants. Even if they are non muslim we must do our duty to a dying man:

1. Give them a proper funeral.
2. Speak no evil things about them.
3. Try and remember them in goodness.

Also, you must realize that in Islam, when a man dies, his can still accumulate blessings. Or if he was a complete disbeliever at heart, God will lessen his punishment due to the prayers of those people who are closer to God.

Lets say a man dies and he has never in his entire life did a good Islamic thing, but once he helped a poor kid and made sure the kid never went hungry. Do you know that that kids prayers can make God forgive the mans sins???

This is why, when someone dies, instead of saying: oh hes not gonna go to heaven because he was never a proper worshipper, we are told to pray for him, to do good deeds and maybe open up a school with the last money he had on earth, and let that school be a continuous blessing for him. Thats just a small example of things that can be done.

We as humans can never be sure of our own end. Even if we have spent our lives praying to God, if we have prayed without sincerity in our hearts, none of those prayers are accepted.

So we must be vigilant and careful. And when it comes to people who seem to look like theyre worse than us in terms of deeds, we leave that upto God.

For God is most merciful. and He has said, that His mercy exceeds his Wrath.

have a nice day

Perfect Happiness: Now and Forever

[41:30] Those who proclaim: "Our Lord is GOD," then lead a righteous life, the angels descend upon them: "You shall have no fear, nor shall you grieve. Rejoice in the good news that Paradise has been reserved for you.

[41:31] "We are your allies in this life, and in the Hereafter. You will have in it anything you wish for; you will have anything you want.

[41:32] "(Such is your) ultimate abode, from a Forgiver, Most Merciful."

God's Infinite Mercy

[39:53] Proclaim: "O My servants who exceeded the limits, never despair of GOD's mercy. For GOD forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful."

[39:54] You shall obey your Lord, and submit to Him totally, before the retribution overtakes you; then you cannot be helped.

[39:55] And follow the best path that is pointed out for you by your Lord, before the retribution overtakes you suddenly when you least expect it.

[39:56] Lest a soul may say, "How sorry I am for disregarding GOD's commandments; I was certainly one of the mockers."

[39:57] Or say, "Had GOD guided me, I would have been with the righteous."

[39:58] Or say, when it sees the retribution, "If I get another chance, I will work righteousness."

[39:59] Yes indeed (you did get enough chances). My proofs came to you, but you rejected them, turned arrogant, and became a disbeliever.

[39:60] On the Day of Resurrection you will see the faces of those who lied about GOD covered with misery. Is Hell not the right retribution for the arrogant ones?

[39:61] And GOD will save those who have maintained righteousness; He will reward them. No harm will touch them, nor will they have any grief.

[39:62] GOD is the Creator of all things, and He is in full control of all things.

[39:63] To Him belongs all decisions in the heavens and the earth, and those who disbelieve in GOD's revelations are the real losers.

[39:64] Say, "Is it other than GOD you exhort me to worship, O you ignorant ones?"

Idol Worship Nullifies All Work

[39:65] It has been revealed to you, and to those before you that if you ever commit idol worship, all your works will be nullified, and you will be with the losers.

[39:66] Therefore, you shall worship GOD alone, and be appreciative.

Answer 4

with The way that you are discribing his life and the fact that islamicaly the marraige was not recognised and adulterous one would probably say yes, but remember Allah is most mercifull and forgiving. Only Allah knows what was in his heart and can judge him best. Sometimes people have good hearts and good intentions but are lead astray. at the end of the day we are all sinners and it is our faith in god and our internal struggles and efforts that are most important. You should not judge when you yourself are not perfect.

I know this is a christian quote but he who is without sin cast the first stone.
