Murjiyyah
Murjiyyah is theological school that was opposed to the Kharijites. Murjite doctrine held that only God has the authority to judge who is a true Muslim and who is not, and that Muslims should consider all other Muslims as part of the community.
They declared that no Muslim would enter the hellfire, no matter what his sins. This contradicts the traditional Sunni belief which states that some Muslims will enter the fire of hell temporarily. Therefore the Murjites are classified as "Ahlul Bid'ah" or "People of Innovation" by traditional Sunni Muslims
I write about the Islamic faith and its followers, the Muslim. In the past, most of my writing was about the doctrines and the history of various Muslim sects. Since then, I’ve included other topics of interest, such as science, philosophy, psychology, current events, politics, rationality, article reviews, social behaviors, women and the Quran. The journal writing format seen here offers the creativity to fully express my thoughts in the easiest way possible.

What is the Shi'a stance on entering the Hellfire temporarily?
ReplyDeleteGood question.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely believe that some Muslims will enter hell temporarily.
The only doubtful question is will there be anyone damned in hell for eternity?
