Hadith

Everyone of my Ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «كُلُّ أُمَّتِي يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَبَى»، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَنْ يَأْبَى؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ أَبَى».

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Everyone of my Ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse." They said: "And who would refuse, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "He who obeys me will enter Paradise, and who disobeys me has refused."

Explanation from the source
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that all his Ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse! Thereupon, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: And who would refuse, O Messenger of Allah?! In reply to them, he explained that he who obeys and follows the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) will enter Paradise. In contrast, he who disobeys and does not comply with the Shariah has refused to enter Paradise on account of his bad deeds.
  • Obeying the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) is part of obedience to Allah, and disobeying him is disobedience to Allah.
  • Obedience to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) leads one to Paradise, and disobeying him leads one to Hellfire.
  • The Hadīth gives good news to the righteous people in this Ummah that they all will enter Paradise except those who disobey Allah and His Messenger.
  • It shows the Prophet's compassion towards his Ummah and keenness to guide them.
