Answer:
Future heaven hell shown to Prophet (saws)
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world
and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble
efforts in the propagation of the Truth.
If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister
get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves
indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful
to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and
pray the Merciful Lord accepts our
humble and weak efforts, forgives us our
shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the
Hell Fire. Ameen.

My dear and beloved Brother, never has it ever happened in
the annuls of the history of mankind that when a true believer started to
invite others to the Straight Path of Allah he was not ridiculed or abused by
those who do not wish to listen to good caution! This ridicule and abuse at the hands of the
arrogant is nothing but the ‘reward’ in the life of this world of those who
truly work in the Noble Cause of Allah, and a trial of patience and
perseverance for the believers from their All-Knowing, All-Wise! Even the Noble Prophets of Allah were not
spared from this ‘welcome’ from those who arrogantly disbelieved in their
Message; but with patience and perseverance they stayed steadfast on the
Straight Path seeking their reward from none, except their Lord Most Gracious.
The ‘hard time’ that you are getting from the people you
wish to invite to the Path of Allah is a sign that you are calling them to the
Truth! Thus follow the example of the
Prophets and the righteous, and bear whatever they say and do with humility,
politeness, patience and perseverance, and remain steadfast on the Noble Path
you have chosen for yourself….for then your ‘true reward’ will be secure with
your Lord Most Gracious.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.76 Narrated by Khabbab bin Al Art
We complained to Allah's Messenger (saws)
(about our state and persecution at the hands of the pagans of Makkah while he
(saws) was leaning against his sheet cloak in the shade of the Ka'ba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah (saws)!
Will you ask Allah to help us? Will you
invoke Allah for us?" His (saws)
face turned red with anger and he (saws) said, "Among those who were
before you a (believer) used to be seized and a pit used to be dug for him and
then he used to be placed in it. Then a saw used to be brought and put on his
head, which would then be split into two halves. His flesh might be combed with iron combs and
removed from his bones, yet, all that did not cause him to abandon his
religion. By Allah! This religion
(Islam) will be completed (and triumph) till a rider (traveler) goes from

Beloved Brother in Islam, we must understand that the
limitations of the dimensions of time and space is for us, and not for Allah
Subhanah, the Lord of the Past, Present and the Future! The All-Powerful, All Mighty Lord is able to
do all things; and many a times Allah
Subhanah showed a glimpse or a portrayal of what will transpire in the future
in Hell Fire and in Paradise to His Prophet (saws), who related what he saw to
his people as a warning to the evil doers,
and as a source of good news to the workers of righteousness. If Allah Wills, He is Able and Capable to
re-create the past in the future or create of
what will happen in the future in
the present; for He indeed is Able to do anything He Wills and Desires.
Even in the Glorious Quran, on several occasions Allah Subhanah portrays
the future happenings, sayings and conversations of the people of Hell Fire and
the people of
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah
Aaraaf verses 43-47:
43 And We shall remove from their (the believer’s) hearts any
lurking sense of injury; beneath them
will be rivers flowing; and they shall
say: "Praise be to Allah Who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance had it not
been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the Truth that the Prophets of
our Lord brought unto us." And they
Shall hear the cry: "Behold! the
44 The companions of
45 "Those who would hinder (men) from the path of Allah and
would seek in it something crooked: they were those who denied the
Hereafter."
46 Between them shall be a veil and on the heights will be men who
would know everyone by his marks: they will call out to the companions of the
47 When their eyes shall be turned towards the companions of the
Fire they will say: "Our Lord! Send
us not to the company of the wrong- doers."
Allah
says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verses 165-167:
There
are people who set up equals and rivals with Allah and adore them with the
adoration due to Allah! Whereas the
believers adore Allah most ardently.
Would that these transgressors could realize now what they will realize
when they see the chastisement before them:
that power and authority wholly belong to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment! When He will inflict punishment, those very
leaders and guides whom they followed in the world will disown them. But punishment they shall get and all their
bonds shall be cut off. Then those who
followed them will say, “Would that we were given another chance to return to
the world. Then we will disown them
just as they have disowned us today!”
Thus Allah will bring before them the deeds they did in the world in
such a manner as to make them wring their hands in regret, but they shall be unable to come out of the
Fire.
The simplest explanation to your query is that Allah
Subhanah is Able and Capable of doing whatever He Wills! If He Wills,
He may declare the state and conversations that will take place in the
future of the people of Paradise Hell Fire as if in the present; or He may portray events in the future of
Paradise and Hell Fire to His Prophets as if in the present! Allah Subhanah does whatever He Wills!
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and sincere well
wisher in Islam,
