Question:
Does a good non-Muslim who believes in God have the chance to go to heaven? Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad suggests he has spoken to many scholars around the world and says it’s possible through Allah’s mercy and through the prophet (peace be upon him) praying for all? Is there is value in praying for those relatives passed away who were not Muslim.
Answer:
We don’t pray for non-Muslims as they did not believe in our way of doing prayers. What Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad suggests is acceptable and Allah swt knows best.
