On February 15, 2026, Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) held a meeting with male members of the Waqf-e-Nau scheme from France. During the meeting, members had the opportunity to introduce themselves and also ask Huzoor-e-Anwar (may Allah be his Helper) questions on a range of religious and contemporary issues faced by the youth today.
One attendee stated that some non-Ahmadi Muslims claim that those who do not adhere to the practices of Islam are destined for hell. The attendee asked Huzoor-e-Anwar (may Allah be his Helper) to expound upon the truth of this matter. He responded:
“Allah has not written this in the Qur’an, nor is it written in the Hadith. Allah has stated clearly that whoever does good deeds, He will reward them. Yes, those who reject the truth and persist in opposition, who oppose the prophets, oppose their communities, and commit injustice, will be punished by Allah. However, if they have done any good, Allah will also reward them for it. Allah says that when you do a good deed, He multiplies its reward many times over, and when you commit a sin, you are punished only in proportion to that sin. If a believer acts in this way, then his sins are forgiven and he will enter Paradise. But who is to enter Paradise and who is to enter Hell is Allah’s matter. Allah is Most Forgiving.”
Huzoor-e-Anwar (may Allah be his Helper) then gave the example of those so-called Muslims who are engaged in violence, terrorism or extremism. He said:
“Some [so-called] Muslims are involved in killing, terrorism, and oppression… These people will not enter Paradise. They are destined for Hell, as far as is apparent, because Allah says that whoever commits injustice will be punished. …
“Therefore, when non-Ahmadis say such things, our duty is to ensure our own conduct is right. We must perform good deeds. We must fulfil the rights of Allah by praying and worshipping Him. Fulfil the rights of people by showing good morals, caring for the poor, respecting elders and youngsters, and treating everyone with dignity. There are two sets of rights: the rights of Allah and the rights of people. We must fulfil both. …
“We should seek forgiveness. Remain humble, continue repenting, and pray that Allah grants us a good end. And remember, whoever does good, Allah rewards them.”
