Is it true very few people in Paradise ?
-
There are many good and nice people in this world, and IMO many will be in Paradise. . It is unreasonable for them to be in hell through the system and simply because of the Sectarian Allah that people have created through their imaginations.
Allah wants no injustice to the worlds. (3.10
Allah is not ever unjust to servants. (3.182)
Therefore, why they should be in Hell ?
Maybe all the verses that say very few people in Paradise is referring to the "foremost", the allies of Allah. . . those who follow closely the Quran, benefiting humanity, striving with their properties and life (skills) and thus becoming True Believers (the experts and wealthy etc) (4915)(82)(1062-64) .
And you will be in three groupings.
(1) So those on the right (many will be in this group? good people, regardless of religions - 5.82 - 3113-115)
who will be from those on the right? (no guarantee to be in Paradise)(2) And those on the left (the criminals and oppressors etc, the enemy to social unity. .divide and conquer)
who will be from those on the left? (guarantee to be in the hell fire)(3) And those foremost
who will be from those foremost? (guarantee to be in Paradise)
They will be the ones who are brought near.
In gardens of bliss.
Many from the first generations.
And a FEW from the LATER generations (ie. after Muhammad)
567-14 (all verses that say very few people in Paradise are referring to this people? i.e. the True Believers)If it is not referring to the True Believers . . then who else that came after the Last Messenger, ie. "later generations"?

God says in the Quran that he created humanbeings and our duty is to worship him. Maby there is kind people in the world, but if he does not believe in Gods word, that means he is calling God a liar, he has put his trust in Satan when Satan has convinced him to not believe in God. The Good deeds will only have a gain for the believers on the day of judgment. This is only my opinion tough.

I think there will be more in paradise than you can count in a lifetime. I also don't think that God has an eternal torture chamber.
Brother newform,
I'm interested to know more about your opinion in bold.
May I know why do you think like that?
I have hope that Hell is not eternal, so I'd really like to know your view about it.
Thank you. )
Salm.
P.S. Is there another here who think that Hell is not eternal?

Coming to Hell is occurring by being an "anomaly" to God and not compatible by the Spirit of God and hence not harmonized or in symbiosis with God. Your soul needs to grow here and these people simply do not grow who will be turned away from God's oneness. Living like instinctive people here in this world just hunting the worldly treasures and indulging in behavior and deeds which are unfair, arrogant, egotistical etc; these people do have no place there. God gives this chance for the souls to grow and we better take it, and there are indications that if God sent people back they would revert to the sinful behavior again.
It is likely very few people in Paradise because it is deed and behavior that will be measured against all the bad, unjust and selfish doings of their lives. It has been taught that the people should bring onto themselves a lowly spirit, humbleness and meekness, and just as people fail to understand behavior and deed is what counts in the faith, they also miss it is about a respectful character that is unselfish and humble. People have actually missed this because they think sujud, ruku stands for moves in a ritualistic prayer story rather than becoming very humbled and meek, and most importantly improve society as a collective rather than indulging in individualism.
The rituals performed will be virtually worth nothing in the courtroom of God on the promised day. All the superficial glorification will not count up to few good deeds and bad behavior and hence what was not in their mind and soul. And the rituals will not change anything for the will to change must come from the characters themselves. The prayer included in the ritual may be granted, but God does not listen to them more because of the many words in Pagan style or because they were done in an exact ritual succession lf movements.

Nothing is eternal, nothing, neither hell nor paradise. Only God is eternal and to Him we all return.That is our destiny, to return to God. That is everythign's destiny. Only the way of return can be hell or paradise. It cannot be otherwise. There cannot be indepedent things coexisting with God for eternity. And if they are nto independent of God, they can finish any time when God so desires.

Indeed our destiny is to return to the oneness of God.
