Difference Between A Mushrik (idolator) And A Kafir
And can we say for a person who commits shirk that he won’t be going to heaven or he is going to hell because these punishments are mentioned in quran?
I really doubt that Iblees, Firoon, Abu Lahab or any of the obvious figures in Qur’an that Allah have shown anger towards will find their ways into Paradise. But whether they will go to Hell or not. Forever or temporary, and so on are going to be decided by Allah. For a modern case where no Rasuul and judgment of Allah has been revealed. We can’t say for sure but I must advise that the judgment of a mushrik will be harsh. Because in court of Allah when every guilty person will defend themselves, the mushrik will have the most hard time proving his case. Qur’an depicts that they will lose the defence. Then Allah will decide what will happen. Most likely eternal Hell or whatever Allah chooses if He chooses to be merciful. But a mushrik that knows the truth should not be confident or hopeful for this. A Muslim can’t go around telling people where they will go after death. Only Allah can do that. The entire point of Day of Judgment is to see what Allah’s actual judgment is.
