Whoever believes in God will be saved from Hellfire (Perennialism) | Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally responds to a viewer who is struggling with the idea of a Merciful and Just God condemning people to eternal Hell, particularly those who are non-Muslim. The viewer feels that Islam is the truth but is hesitant to fully accept it due to this troubling concept. Dr. Shabir acknowledges that this concern is common and has been traditionally addressed in Islamic sermons and writings with the notion that non-Muslims are automatically destined for Hell. However, he challenges this view by pointing out that the Quran repeatedly emphasizes God's mercy and provides a more inclusive outlook on salvation. Dr. Shabir explains that people are often shaped by their environments—whether they are born into Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or atheist families—and it wouldn't align with God's mercy to condemn individuals solely based on their circumstances of birth. He highlights Quranic verses, such as Surah 2:62, which suggest that those who believe in God and do good deeds, regardless of their religious identity, may not face eternal punishment. He also addresses the second part of the viewer's question regarding the permanence of Hell. Citing Islamic scholar Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, Dr. Shabir discusses the idea that Hell may not be eternal for everyone, with some Quranic verses implying that Hell's duration could be temporary.
