What are the Ismaili Perspectives on Paradise and Hell? | جنت اور دوزخ کے بارے میں اسماعیلی نقطہ نظر کیا ہیں؟
“Death is the passage of the soul from the sensible world to the imaginal world (‘alam al-mithali). The imaginal world is an isthmus (barzakh) between the sensible world and the spiritual world…. Unlike the World of Spirits which is constituted of simple and luminous beings which are separate from matter and the World of Bodies which is constituted of compound and tenebrous beings which are immersed in matter; the imaginal world is constituted of ‘suspended’ forms or images.”
- Zailan Morris, (Revelation, Intellectual Intutiion and Reason, 107)
“We have decreed death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated from changing your likenesses (amthal) and creating you in (forms) that ye know not.”
- Holy Qur’an 56:60
"When the soul departs from the body, it retains a kind of imaginal body (hay’ati az khayal), [bearing the] forms of whatever the imaginal soul (nafs-i khayali) knew or did. Likewise, reward and punishment are determined for the human soul in proportion to that [imaginal body], and the imaginal soul reminds it of this reward and punishment. The identity of human souls in the Hereafter (akhirat) is determined by this, because in this [earthly] world human beings are spiritual beings clothed in corporeal bodies, while in the next they are corporeal beings clothed in spirituality."
- Nasir al-Din Tusi, (The Paradise of Submission, 34)
“Nor will they there Taste Death, except the first Death; and He will preserve Them from the Penalty Of the Blazing Fire.”
- Holy Qur’an 44:56
"And the Foremost (al-sabiqun) will be Foremost: These will be those Nearest to God. In Gardens of Bliss.”
- Holy Qur’an 56:14
"Between them shall be a veil, and on the Heights will be Men who would know every one by his marks: they will call out to the Companions of the Garden, ‘peace on you’: they will not have entered, but they will have an assurance.”
- Holy Qur’an 7:46
“…And those who believe in God and work righteousness,- He will remove from them their ills, and He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that will be the Supreme Achievement.”
- Holy Qur’an 64:9
"On dying, if you again became dogs, what is gained in it?...Your virtuous deeds (amal) are for your benefit, and that benefit is there for you in the life hereafter. Whatever the type of deed (amal) you do, you will become as such."
The bodies of the undeveloped souls, the souls that have committed sins, deteriorate at the time of death and are not reassembled as before. In order to survive physically, they create a material body for themselves by externalizing their inner psychic states in the form of a body in the World of the Images. Thus a human soul that is guilty of committing a sin will imagine itself as an animal.”
- Muhammad Kamal, (Mulla Sadra’s Transcendent Philosophy, 82)
For the condemned there is Hell, where they will be consumed with regret for not having known how to merit the grace and the blessing of Divine mercy.”
- Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah, (Memoirs of the Aga Khan, 177)
“…those most unfortunate ones, who will enter the Great Fire, in which they will then neither die nor live.”- Holy Qur’an 87:11-13
“Those who are wretched shall be in the Fire: There will be for them therein (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: for thy Lord is the (sure) accomplisher of what He planneth.”
- Holy Quran 11:106
"A tradition states that on the Day of Resurrection Hell will roar [like a lion] and hiss [like a dragon]. Then the Prophet, may the peace of God be upon him and his progeny, will come, take a bowl of water, recite Bismi’llahi’r-rahmani’r-raḥīm, blow on the water and pour it on Hell. The fire of Hell will instantly subside and its voice will be humbled...He will lower his cloak into Hell so that the sinners of his community may be brought out. Hell will have no power to stop the blowing of the Prophet and [the lowering of] his cloak."
- Sayyedna Nasir-i Khusraw, (Wajh-i Din, Discourse 14)
