ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV (12 March 2009)

Of course, nobody can know whether anyone will go to Paradise or Hell. You know how they say that such a person is destined for Paradise or Hell. The person who says that does not know his destiny, does not know whether he will go to Paradise or Hell. He may go to Paradise, or he may go to Hell. That is made clear at one’s last breath. It is ordained by Allah, and can never be established beforehand. Sometimes, someone we imagine to be very saintly may go to Hell, or someone may go to Paradise who one never imagined would ever make it. In other words, it can never be clear. It is therefore unlawful to issue pronouncements about people on Allah’s behalf. No Muslim can say such things. 

ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KANAL 35 (21 February 2009)

In the absence of any clear revelation, in the absence of any prophets with books of revelation saying that someone will go to Paradise, nobody can be certain of the future. But even though our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was told he would be going to Paradise, he was still punctilious about his religious observances and obeying Allah’s commands. Muslims will be like that. They will fear Allah, saying they have a fifty-fifty chance of going to Paradise or to Hell. This is also the root of love and passion. We learn this passion through love of Allah. Fear of Allah is the origin of profound love.
