Paradise and Hell (Vol. 7)

Paradise and Hell by Dr. ’Umar Sulaiman al-Ashqar is Volume 7 of the Islamic Creed Series, and it covers what the previous volume leads to: the two destinations every soul is ultimately sorted into, and what awaits in each.

What the Book Covers

Belief in Paradise and Hell is, al-Ashqar argues, the point every other belief in the unseen ultimately serves — nothing matters more to a believer than reaching one and avoiding the other. The book sets out what the Qur’an and Sunnah establish about both: their description, their levels, and the people who inhabit them. The detail is deliberate; the more concretely a reader can picture what is actually at stake, al-Ashqar holds, the more it shapes how he or she lives now.

Who This Book Is For

Readers who want the descriptions of the Hereafter as revelation actually gives them, as a spur to reflection rather than an abstraction.
