Abstract: (303 Views) |
| Researchers have considered the two interpretation of "eternal" or "long time" for the Quranic doctrine of "Khulood" or "Immortality in Hell". The presented evidence shows that both views have not paid due attention to the verse “إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا یَغْفِرُ أَنْ یُشْرَکَ بِهِ ...”. While, this verse can be used to accurately determine the meaning of "Khulood"; therefore, "the need to explain the Quranic teachings in order to guide the servants" and "the feasibility of using this verse to explain the Quranic doctrine of "Khulood" or "Immortality " proves the importance of investigating this issue. Analytical examination of this verse shows that polytheism, in addition to God's non-forgiveness, "requires infinite punishment". Of course, according to other verses, polytheists can create an "obstacle" in this world by using "extensive mercy of God" in front of that "existence", but some do not do this. Also, according to this verse, "the extensive mercy and wisdom of God" and "the possibility of reforming polytheists due to the punishments of the hereafter" cannot create an obstacle against this existence; therefore, eternal punishment for them is in harmony with this verse and other teachings. |
