A: In the above-mentioned Ayah, Allah clearly states that both the pious and the impious shall cross into Hellfire. Allah will then save His pious servants who refrained from Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship). It is narrated in the Two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith (i.e. Al-Bukhari and Muslim) on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “There is no one among the believers who suffers the death of three of his children who will be touched by the Fire, except for the non-fulfillment of the Oath.” ‘Fulfillment of the Oath’ referred to in this Hadith is explained in Allah’s Saying in Surah Mariam (which means):Surah Maryam, 19: 68 So by your Lord, surely, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Shayâtîn (devils) (with them), then We shall bring them round Hell on their knees. Surah Maryam, 19: 69 Then indeed We shall drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against the Most Gracious (Allâh). until His Saying:Surah Maryam, 19: 71 There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell): this is with your Lord; a Decree which must be accomplished.
