Hadith on Model Behavior Of The Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah): It May Be Otherwise, 'Aishah, For Allah Created Paradise And Created Those Who Will Go To It, And He Created It For Them When They Were Still In Their Fathers Loins; And He Created Hell And Created Those Who Will Go To It, And Created It For Them When They Were Still In Their Fathers Loins

Sunan Abi Dawud 4713 (Book 42, Hadith 118) #25004

Predestination of Heaven and Hell

SUMMARY: Allah created both Paradise and Hell before people were even born, and those who will go to either of them have already been predetermined.

'A’ishah, mother of the believers, said : The Prophet (May peace be upon him) was invited to the funeral of a boy who belonged to the ANSAR and I said; Messenger of Allah! This one is blessed, for he has done no evil, nor has he known it. He replied : It may be otherwise, 'A’ishah, for Allah created Paradise and created those who will go to it, and He created it for them when they were still in their father’s loins; and he created hell and created those who will go to it, and created it for them when they were still in their father’s loins.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَتْ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِصَبِيٍّ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ طُوبَى لِهَذَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ شَرًّا وَلَمْ يَدْرِ بِهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَوَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْجَنَّةَ وَخَلَقَ لَهَا أَهْلاً وَخَلَقَهَا لَهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلاَبِ آبَائِهِمْ وَخَلَقَ النَّارَ وَخَلَقَ لَهَا أَهْلاً وَخَلَقَهَا لَهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي أَصْلاَبِ آبَائِهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:

This hadith is about the concept of predestination in Islam. It teaches us that Allah has already predetermined who will go to Paradise or Hell before they are even born. This means that we should not be too proud if we are doing good deeds because it was already decided by Allah beforehand. We should also not be too sad if we are doing bad deeds because it was also predetermined by Allah beforehand. Instead, we should strive to do our best in life so that we can reach our highest potential as human beings and earn the pleasure of Allah on the Day of Judgment. The hadith also reminds us that no matter what happens in life, everything is ultimately under the control of Allah and He knows best what is good for us.
