Will All Muslims Go To Hell?

 

Investigateislam and others claim that the quran says that all Muslims will go to hell. They point to Surah 19:71 which reads

 

Surah 19:71: ''Not one of you but will pass over it (hell): this is, with thy Lord, a Decree, which must be accomplished''

 

Response

 

Here is the commentary of this verse by Yusef Ali.

 

2518. Three interpretations are possible: (1) The general interpretation is that every soul must pass through or by or over the Fire. Those who have had Taqwa (see n. 26 to 2:2) will be saved by Allah's Mercy, while unrepentant sinners will suffer the torments in ignominy. (2) If  we refer (he pronoun "you" to those "in obstinate rebellion" in verse 69 above, both leaders and followers in sin, this verse only applies to the wicked. (3) Some refer this verse to the Bridge over Hell, the Bridge Sirat, over which all must pass to their final Destiny. This Bridge is not mentioned in the Qur'an. (R).

 

As we see from the Yusef Ali commentary, verse 19:71 is referring to the people being spoken about two verses before in ayah 69.

 

Surah 19:69

'Then shall We certainly drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against ((Allah)) Most Gracious''

 

Conclusion

 

The context of the verse is quite clear that the words "Each one of you..." are addressed to the rejecters and those who are rebellious. The people being spoken of in this verse are, the same people who are being warned and admonished in the verses right before
