How death is erased in the afterlife?
I want to ask a question out of curiosity, it's a matter of the afterlife. In a hadith that I once read, that the Prophet said "death will be brought in the form of a black and white sheep, then the death will be slaughtered between heaven and hell." Well, my question.

I want to ask a question out of curiosity, it's a matter of the afterlife.
In a hadith that I once read, that the Prophet said "death will be brought in the form of a black and white sheep, then the death will be slaughtered between heaven and hell."
Well, my question.
If death itself no longer exists, do all of Allah's creatures become immortal? Or only the inhabitants of heaven and hell?
Sorry if my question is a bit confusing.

What's the ruling on a person who studies Islam sincerely, but ends up disbelieving?
Suppose a person studies Islam with a sincere heart, but does not find the arguments in favor of Islam genuinely convincing, and dies as a non-Muslim. Does Islam differentiate between such an individual, and someone who denies Islam due to his caprices, or someone who does not even bother studying I...
Suppose a person studies Islam with a sincere heart, but does not find the arguments in favor of Islam genuinely convincing, and dies as a non-Muslim.
Does Islam differentiate between such an individual, and someone who denies Islam due to his caprices, or someone who does not even bother studying Islam?
Are all three cases the same from the perspective of Islam wrt. their fate in the afterlife, i.e., are they all destined to go hell?

Will Unitarian Christians and Jews go to hell?
Quran 2:82 says that the people of the book will go to heaven if they believe in Allah and the last day etc. But, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 153 says that if the Jews and Christians hear about the Prophet and they don't accept Islam they go to hell. I assume there are Unitarian Christians and Jews throughout...
Quran 2:82 says that the people of the book will go to heaven if they believe in Allah and the last day etc. But, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 153 says that if the Jews and Christians hear about the Prophet and they don't accept Islam they go to hell. I assume there are Unitarian Christians and Jews throughout the years that have heard about the Prophet, but did not accept Islam because they didn't hear enough about him or they were confused on certain things and they never got their questions answered. Is it fair that these people go to hell eternally?

Are only the inhabitants of heaven and hell immortal?
I have a question, is it the case that when death is removed in the afterlife, all beings automatically become immortal? Or only the inhabitants of heaven and hell? Or are other beings who are not residents of heaven and hell also immortal?

In Chapter 56, Quran says people will be put into three groups in the Day of Judgment: companions of left, companions of right, and people in front (or foremost). From the some verses in this chapter, we see that both companions of right, and foremost will go to heaven while companions of left are destined to go to hell. See the verses below:
Quran 56/10-14 talks about foremost.
> And those in front––ahead indeed! For these will be the ones brought
> nearest to God in Gardens of Bliss: many from the past and a few from later generations.
And Quran 56/27-40 talks of companions of right.
> Those on the Right, what people they are! They will dwell amid
> thornless lote trees and clustered acacia with spreading shade,
> constantly flowing water, abundant fruits, unfailing, unforbidden,
> with incomparable companions We have specially created–– virginal,
> loving, of matching age–– for those on the Right, many from the past
> and many from later generations.
My question is this: what exactly are the differences between foremost, and companion of right? Is it a matter of firmness in the following Islamic faith, i.e., are foremost the people who are more devout, and practicing than an average Muslim? Or, is it a special status given by the God, such as prophethood, i.e., does foremost refer to the prophets, and those who first accepted, followed, and fought besides the prophets etc.

Were there any major scholars who DIDN'T believe all muslims would eventually attain paradise?
The orthodox view from what I understand it, is that all muslims will ultimately enter heaven, even if it requires a period of chastisement. Were there any major scholars who disagreed with this, who believed some muslims would be in hellfire for an eternity?

Question about the hadith where the prophet ﷺ said that someone prays 60 years but one of his salah will be accepted
Salam aleykium, My question is about : The Prophet ﷺ said, “Indeed a person may pray for sixty years, yet not a single ṣalāh of his will be accepted. Perhaps he perfected the rukūʿ but not the sujūd, or he perfected the sujūd but not the rukūʿ” (Ibn Abī Shaybah). Does this mean that this persons wil...

Does this mean that this persons will enter jahannam for eternity? Or will the enter after a time jannah?

Is it okay to pray to god to destory hell?
It is a win win situation if Hell is destroyed. So what about praying to god to destory Hell so that all Jin and Mankind will enter paradise. So is it wrong according to Quran to pray to god to remove the Hell and judgement and pray to god to give highest paradise for all human kind and Jinn?

Will Jews go to Jannah?
Although they don't believe in Muhammad (pbuh) as a prophet, they still strongly believe in monotheism and some Jews offer daily prayers (3 times a day if I remember correctly). Islamic and Jewish laws are also very similar. So I think it would be unfair if Allah cast the Jews in hell just because t...

Will humans bow in prostration to Allah when they see Jahanam for the first time on judgement day?
Is it true that on judgement day, when every soul is able to see Jahanam for the first time, that everyone will bow in prostration to Allah. But Allah will say, ‘today is not the day of repentance, it is the day of judgment’. And is it true that non-Muslims will also perform sajdah? If so, what is t...

And is it true that non-Muslims will also perform sajdah? If so, what is the reference, thank you.

Multiple heavens
Referring to https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/80948/55518, I am looking for sources that state that there are multiple heavens. In Christian folklore, there are seven heavens and seven hells, but that is folklore only, not canonical. I like to know what the Quran and the Hadith tell about it.

If you for example step with your dirty shoes on a carpet or maybe put your dirty shoes on a chairseat but are unable to clean it because you can't enter that place anymore. I am scared that someone puts their hand or clothes on that place where I put my dirty shoe and that they get dirty and when they are going to pray their salah is unvalied because they touched dirt. What should I do I can't clean that place, should I make dua?

The soul goes to barzakh, how did Muhammad (saw) see people in Jannah and Jahannam?
We are told that when people die, their body stays in their grave and their soul goes to barzakh where they wait for the day of judgement. After that people enter either Jannah or Jahannam.

We are told that when people die, their body stays in their grave and their soul goes to barzakh where they wait for the day of judgement. After that people enter either Jannah or Jahannam. However during Isra' wal Miraj, the Prophet (saw) traveled to Jannah and Jahannam. I understand that the Prophets are in Jannah already as there may be an exception for them. However Muhammad (saw) also saw people suffering in Jahannam too.
So my question is how or why were there people already in Jahannam when the soul waits in Barzakh after death?

Can the souls of evil humans/jinn become Shayatin
Surah 6:112 speaks about “shayatin among humans and jinn”. I read there is a division of opinions regarding this verse. One side states, these are children of Iblis, who whisper into the mind of humans and jinn, the other side states, they are jinn and humans who became shayatin themselves. Is it po...

Is it possible for a wicked soul to become a shayatin, or are they purely the offspring of demons?

A few years ago my brother introduced me to a game that I played a lot. This game was based on Greek mythology and in it there was a character (which you play as) which was considered a god astaġfiru -llāhᵃ. I was explaining to my brother something and I called him a god (astaġfiru -llāhᵃ). I don't remember if I said "in Greek mythology". I was really young back then and did not even know the word shirk and had no concept of it. This question just dawned on me a week ago. Also I never thought of him as a real god (astaġfiru -llāhᵃ). Did I commit shirk? Please if there is any hadith or Ayaat of shirk being forgiven please tell me in your answer.
