Question:
Asalamu alaikum. My two questions are for Sayidi Sheikh Gibril
1. Will the 72 unsaved sects be in the hellfire temporarily or forever?
2. Is the al-Sawad al-Azam referring to majority of Muslims or only majority of Sunni scholars?
Answer:
Waalaykumussalam warahmatullah,
1. Allah forgives all that is other than shirk (polytheism), so it is temporary for whatever sect did not follow something that qualifies as shirk.
2. It refers to both because the majority of Muslims follows the majority of the Sunni scholars and Allah knows best.
