Salvation (saved from Hell-Fire) is a big topic with Christians & Muslims these days .

It there salvation (redemption) for Muslims?

If so, who will be the One to do the saving?

What does the world's most talked about religion (Islam) say about this?

Let's find out from the one who brought the risala (message) from Allah (God) in the form of Quran (recitation).

The narration of God’s Messenger, Muhammad, salallahu alayhi was-sallam, regarding the person out of the Hell Fire — and into the Paradise. Recorded in the sahih (authentic) collection of Imam Bukhari.

  This story is from translation of the Authentic Collection of Narrations (Sahih) of Imam Al Bukhari, from Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa’id Al Khudri, radiallahu anhum.

Last Man to Enter Paradise

Some people asked, “Yaa Rasoolullah (O Messenger of Allah), Will we see our Rabb (Lord, Arabic: رب) on the Yawm-ul Qiyamah (Judgement Day, Arabic يوم القيامة)?”

The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi was sallam said,

“Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on the night when it is full?”

The people said, “No. O messenger of Allah”.

He said, “Do you have any difficulty seeing the sun when there are no clouds?”

They said, “No. O messenger of Allah”.

He said, “So you will see Him like that. Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and He will say, 'Whoever worshipped something (in the world) should follow (that thing)’.

So, whoever worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and whoever worshiped the moon will follow the moon, and whoever used to worship certain (other false) gods, he will follow those gods.

And there will remain only these people (either good only or hypocrites only). — (Ibrahim, a sub narrator was in doubt about this).

“Allah will come to them and say, ‘I am your Lord.’ Those people will deny Him saying, ‘We will stay here until our Lord comes, for when our Lord comes, we will recognize Him’. 

So Allah will come to them in His appearance which they will know, and say, ‘I am your Lord’.

They will say, ‘You are our Lord’ so they will follow Him.

Then a bridge will be laid out across the Narr (hell-fire).

I and my followers will be the first to cross, and none will speak on that Day - except the Messengers.

And the Dua (supplication, prayer) of the Messengers on that Day will be, ‘Yaa Allah, Save! Save!’

Over the bridge there will be hooks, like thorns of As-Sa’dan (a thorny bush).

Have you seen As-Sa’dan?”

The people said, “Yes. O Messenger of Allah!”

He told them, “So those hooks look like the thorns of As-Sa’dan, but no one knows how big those are except Allah. 

Those hooks snatch the people away according to their deeds.

Some will remain in Hell, due to their deeds (evil), some will be cut or torn by the hooks (falling into the Fire), some will be punished and then released.

When Allah finishes His Judgments among the people, He will take whomever He Wills out of the Hell-Fire through His Rahmah (Mercy).

Allah will then command the Mala’ikah (angels, Arabic: ملائكة malāʾikah; singular: ملاك malāk angel) to remove from the Hell-Fire all those who worshipped none but Allah from among those whom Allah Wills to be Merciful to and those who witnessed (testified in the world), Laa elaha ilallah (None has the right to be worshipped except Allah).

The Mala’ikah recognize these people by their prostration marks (to God in worship), for the Narr will eat up the human body, except for the mark caused by prostration, because Allah forbids the Narr to consume the mark of prostration.

The people come out of the Narr completely burned and then the water of life will be poured over them and they will grow under it as does a seed that comes up in the mud after heavy rains.

Then Allah will complete the judgments of the people, and there will be on man left, facing the Narr and he will be the last person from the people of Hell to enter into Jennah.

He will say, ‘Yaa Rabbi (O my Lord)! Please turn my face away from the Narr because its air hurts me and its severe heat burns me.’

So he will continue to plead for Allah, as Allah Wills for him to plead. Then Allah will say to him, ‘If I grant you that, will you refrain from asking for more?’

The man pleads and begs, promising anything Allah asks.

So Allah will turn the man’s face away from the Narr.

Then the man’s face is toward Jennah, and when he sees it, he is quiet for as long as Allah Wills him to be quiet.

Then the man says, ‘Yaa Rabbi! Bring me near to the Bab-ul Jennah (Arabic: جنّة Gate or Door of Paradise)

Allah will ask, ‘Did you not promise and agree you would never ask anything more after what you received? Woe to you, O son of Adam! How untrustworthy you are.’

The man will say, ‘Yaa Rabbi!’ and continue begging Allah until Allah asks him, ‘If I grant you what you ask, will you then ask for more?’

He says, ‘No. I swear on Your Honor, I will never ask for more.’ Then he will continue making sworn statements and offer promises to Allah until Allah brings him close to the Babul Jannah (Gate of Paradise).

While standing there, the Babul Jannah will open and spread in front of him. He will see all its grandeur and pleasures, standing there, he will be silent as long as Allah Wills for him to be silent.

Then the man will ask, “Yaa Rabbi! Let me enter Jannah!”

Allah will ask, ‘Did you not promise and agree you would never ask anything more after what you received? Woe to you, O son of Adam! How untrustworthy you are.’

The man will say, ‘Yaa Rabbi! Don’t make me the most miserable of Your creation’ and he will continue begging Allah until Allah laughs because of the man’s sayings, and when Allah laughs because of the man’s sayings, He will say to the man, ‘Enter Jannah’.

And the man will enter it. 

Allah will say to the man, ‘Wish for anything.’

So the man will ask his Rabb, and wish for many things, and Allah Himself will remind the man to wish for this-or-that things.

When there is nothing more to wish for, Allah will say, ‘This is for you, and its equal as well.’

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri who was there with Abu Huraira, had remained silent through the entire recitation of the narration of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. But when Abu Huraira said that Allah had said, ‘that is for you and its equal as well’ — Abu Sa’id Al Khudri said, ‘And ten times as much, Yaa Abu Hurairah!’

Abu Hurairah, radiallahu anhu, said, ‘I don’t remember, only him saying, ’That is for you and its equal, as well’.

Abu Sa’id Al Khudri then said, ‘I testify that I remember the Messenger, peace be upon him, saying,

‘That is for you, and ten times as much.’

Then Abu Hurairah added, ‘That’s the last person of Jannah to Enter Jannah.’

(Book #93, Hadith #532)

Even those destined for Hell will eventually leave, except of course the very worst - who refuse in this life - to repent to Allah.

Truly, Allah is Most Merciful, All Merciful - And All Forgiving!
