How can the verse "Indeed, those who accuse chaste women, unaware [of the evil], believing – are cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment," and the Hadith "Whoever says of a believer what is not in him, Allah will make him dwell in the mire of Khabaal until he retracts what he said, and he will not retract it," be reconciled with the Hadith which states, "There is no servant who says 'La ilaha illa Allah' (there is no god but Allah), then dies upon that, except that he will enter Paradise. I said: Even if he commits illegal sexual intercourse, and even if he steals? He said: Even if he commits illegal sexual intercourse, and even if he steals"?

Allah has threatened those who accuse chaste women with a great curse and severe punishment, and He has made slander one of the seven destructive sins. The curse, for disobedient monotheists, primarily means being distanced from mercy and expelled from Paradise, unlike the eternal curse for disbelievers. The implications of the texts of warning may not apply to monotheists if there are preventing factors, and they will never abide eternally in Hellfire. A monotheist may be punished for their sins, after which they will enter Paradise. All texts of promise and warning depend on the presence of the necessitating factors and the absence of preventing factors, or they are interpreted to reconcile all religious texts. The creed of the أهل السنة (Sunnis) is that whoever dies as a monotheist will certainly enter Paradise.
