DO NOT THINK…

 

Imaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

"Do not think that the statement of Allah the most High: “Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure. And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.” [Soorah Al-Infitaar: 13-14] is restricted to the Day of Recompense alone. Rather, the first category will be in delight in their three abodes while the second category will dwell in the blazing Fire in their three abodes. Which pleasure and delight in this world is more pleasant than righteousness of the heart, soundness of the chest, knowledge of Allah the most High, loving Him and acting based on His approval?
