What are the characteristics of the seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning or torment, and what is the fate of the rest of the Muslims?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"Seventy thousand will enter Paradise without reckoning, and they are those who do not seek Ruqya, nor believe in omens, and upon their Lord they rely." The mentioned characteristics indicate perfect reliance on Allah. The Hadith does not mean that they will not pass over the Sirat, for "there is none of you but will pass over it." Nor does it mean that the rest of the believers will enter Hell, for some of them will not be brought to account at all, some will be brought to an easy account, and some will be severely questioned about their account and thus punished.
