Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Heaven (Jannah) is also known as paradise.
- Hell (Jahannam) is described in the Qur'an as an abyss, a place of fire.
- On the Day of Judgement, humans will be judged by Allah and sent to either Heaven or Hell for the afterlife.
- There are different interpretations of what Heaven and Hell are like in Islam.
Common misconception
That Muslims believe hell (Jahannam) is a place where all sinners will remain in eternal pain and punishment.
The majority of Muslims believe that those who die without faith in God (Allah) will be punished eternally but sinners who fell short of good deeds will eventually enter paradise unless they committed the gravest of sins like shirk.
