Guiding one's father

· 2 Rabiʻ II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My father said bad things about the hereafter and that Allah will not punish us with fire. Of course Allah has given me clear signs of his power. Now I'm worried about my dad who said that there will be no punishment. We will just sleep. How can I explain to him that we have a creator?

Answer

Refer him to some experienced righteous aalim.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
