Are Heaven and Hell in existence now?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The creed of Ahl al- wal-Jama'ah is in agreement that Paradise and Hellfire have been created and exist now. This is confirmed by numerous proofs from the Quran and Sunnah. From the Quran, Allah's saying concerning Paradise: "prepared for the righteous" (Quran 3:133), and concerning Hellfire: "prepared for the disbelievers" (Quran 2:24). From the Sunnah, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw Paradise and Hellfire during the Isra and Mi'raj, and the seat of the deceased from Paradise or Hellfire is shown to him in the grave, in addition to other narrations that confirm their existence.
