Is hell eternal or temporary punishment?
“It is believed that in the hereafter, paradise and hell will be eternal, but some scholars say that those in the hell will be there for one day and then they will enter into paradise after their due punishment in the hell. Maulana Sahib, what is your opinion on this? All of this is wishful thinking. They are extracting their own meanings from the Quran and Hadith in a self-made manner. All of this is wishful thinking, wishful thinking. There is no substance to it.”Asked by ظہیرالدین صاحب, رائچور

1:25:22molana, agla sawal raichur se hai zaheeruddin sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: molana, it is believed that in aakhirat paradise and hell will be eternal, but some ulama say that those in the hell will be there for one day and then they will enter into paradise after their due punishment in the hell. molana sahib, what is your opinion on this? yeh sab isa isa ko amani kehta hoon main. yeh sab amani hai. khud sakhta tor par quran o hadith se apna matlab nikal rakha hai. yeh sab amani hai, amani. is ki koi harkat nahi hai. yeh amani aap ko bachane wale nahi hain. koi thos dalail par nahi baat hai. yeh sab mauzu rivayatein hain, zaeef rivayatein hain, qisse kahaniyan hain, is se nikal rakha hai yeh sab baatein.
1:26:14dekhen, sab se pehle aap ko quran mein dhoondhna chahiye, sab se pehle. lekin log ulta kya hue hain. logon ka haal kya hai ke mauzu rivayatein, qisse kahaniyan, is se nikalte hain aur quran ko to padhte hain sirf sawab ke liye. yeh ajeeb ghareeb halat hai ummat ka ke quran ko padhte hain sawab ke liye, apna din nikalte hain mauzu rivayaton se, qisse kahaniyon se. to yeh isi ka naam amani hai aur amani aap ko aakhirat mein bachane wale nahi hain.
