If someone lived and never heard of islam and tried to be a good person would they go to heaven?

Question

If they had never even heard of islam and they had been christian all their life?

Answer 1

Are you saying people who aren't Muslim will go to h**l? Than I claim Islam is a cheap *** religion, because those b******s don't accept other people? I mean, I'm Catholic and you go to Heaven if you are a good person, not only that you're a Catholic, that question just made me dislike Islam...

Answer 2

no there is no such thing as heaven

although it is good see old fashioned inter-religious intolerance is still alive and well congratulations!

Answer 3

We have no reliable way of reaching out the correct answer to this question. This is a sort of the question that Pharaoh put to Moses and I have not been able to understand the answer of Moses. Ref. 20:52.

However, I believe that "God is NEVER unjust".

When we read the Quran, we should keep in mind that "Islam" can mean two terminologies.

1)-  A state of submission to the will of God.

2)-  A set of religious practices + Laws + the Quran, that form the religion of Islam.

The world around us and our life is full of ENOUGH signs to teach ANYONE of us the presence of a supreme power, designer, creator and the one who keeps the balance. He is the one who punishes the evil, despite the fact that the evil may seem invincible. And HE is the one who rewards the good, despite being the weak and powerless and apparently when all hope is lost in their case.

This is what has been stated in the Quran through many verses that state:

".... have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences of the paste generations ( and nations), they used to be more powerful than them..... would they not then take heed."

Thus we also note the words "Wisdom". These are the traits that certain humans achieved apparently without knowing any prophets and messengers e.g. "Luqman".

The ones who reach such convictions and thus turn righteous out of these results IRRESPECTIVE of their primary faith AND irrespective of religious practices, are the ones who will qualify for heavens. Thus we see the verses:

2:62 and 5:69

---------------------

5:69

Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the converts, and the Christians; any of them who (1) believe in GOD and (2) believe in the Last Day, and (3) lead a righteous life, have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

================

These verses use the words "Sabiens"  (translated as converts in the above verse). The true meaning of Sabiens is not clear. Some say it is "the worshippers of stars", the others have other views.

But apparently, it appears that ANYONE who fulfils the criteria will be the successful one.

Answer 4

Yes - As for the one above me Something created Jesus and he prayed to the Lord.. go smack yourself! My Lord don't wash no feet, eat or pray! Ignorance beyond comprehesion in that bleeding rotton book called the Bible!

Judged by their good deeds and sins they aquired on this earth. The measurement is the same for all mankind and Jinn.  That is why the punishment is more severe for those who know!

Those who say its impossible for a man with a bone in his nose living in the jungle to go to heaven are bleeding pathetic fools and should be removed from the earth or taught a hard lesson!

Answer 5

They would receive their award on earth

I can't remember the ayah or the hadith right now, but that's how it works

Answer 6

It's not possible to live in any part of the world and not hear about Islam. Islam is everywhere. It's the universal religion.  

Answer 7

Isn't that a good thing? To be a good christian? I think that good person will go to heaven. If your a good person, you will go to heaven regardless of your faith.  

Answer 8

If they have accepted the free gift of salvation by Christ's atonement via the bloodied cross and the empty tomb, then they go to heaven.  

Answer 9

You put this in Ramadan, so you obviously are a Muslim yourself.

Many people have heard of Islam.  Those who have their eyes open, see it for the barbaric religion of hate that it really is, and therefore intentional choose to ignore it.

Christians believe that their faith in their Messiah is their salvation, so yes, they would.

Answer 10

There's no such thing as a heaven or h**l.. Or that's what I believe.

The UNDERLYING FACTOR...

BELIEVE WHAT YOU WHAT TO BELIEVE, SO AS LONG AS YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON

Answer 11

Allah can give heaven to anybody He pleases.

Answer 12

first off-we are tested as individuals and not as a group and the rewards are according to ones capacity .

for example - A and B give the same "percentage" of their income in charity.but A is rich , B is less rich therefore A can give more in charity than B . but pls bear in mind that A abd B are reckoned according to their capacites .

eventhough an arab receives more teachings of islam than an austrilian aborigine, the day of resurrection both may be rewarded equally according to their efforts . Allah knows best

verily , God is the most just , most kind

a "true" christian is a muslim(unfortunately , they hardly exist today)

Answer 13

yes sir.

unless they associate with God of course.

Answer 14

God knows all of his creations even, the ignorant ones.

Answer 15

Knowing about, or even practicing Islam, is no guarantee you will "go to heaven".  In fact, it's not even possible to "earn" your way to heaven by being "good enough".  That is a misconception of many other religions as well as Islam.  Heaven is a gift....."the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life."  It's only through Jesus that eternal life (aka heaven) is possible. "There is no other name given under heaven whereby we can be saved."

Answer 16

Now I am no saint, in fact I commit like 5 sins every day...... probably. But I can say this, I believe no matter what religion you are or what you believe in, you go to heaven no matter what. Everyone pretty much gets a free pass unless you are such a bad person like Hitler or Osama Bin Ladin that are totally lost in this world and commited sins so bad they are not redeamable.  

Answer 17

Assaamu Alaikum,  Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Allah says in Quran that He sent total of 124,000 Prophets  to guide people where ever they lived in large number  It is quite possible that Allah had sent Prophets to original Indians in USA  also because many of their tribes believed in one God, whom they referred to as Highest Spirit. Their rules of peace and justice were very good, They lived with harmoney respecting nature.

Let's suppose a small tribe of only 10 families have been living in the deep forest of Amazo and they never heard about Islam. But Allah does imbed in the souls of every human what is good and what is bad action. Where ever people Allah gives wisdom to some of the elders who govern their tribe by maintaining order and peece with certain rules of conduct and they enforce the rules on who violate their rules.  If a person lived by the  rules of his tribe like respecting the privacy of all, not stealing, not hurting others, not having affairs with some one's wife, shared the food with all members of community  etc. etc.

and never heard about Islam aswe know.  

Allah will judge him by he lived his life in obedience of the rules of his tribe or society  and  will certainly reward such persons in heaven.

If woman took care of the needs of her busband, children, elderly and neighbors and never violateed any rules, she will also be granted

heaven  as long as they also believed that  they all were created by a Creator  regardless of what they called the Creator - God Almighty.

Answer 18

That question is impossible! Islam is all over the world, especially in the media, and everyone is so concerned with the media. EVERYBODY knows about islam, alhamdulillah :)

Answer 19

No, because Islam isn't the truth.  Islam is a copy of the truth (God's Word), and reinvented by a man 627 years after the time of Jesus (627AD).

Jesus is the Truth.  He died for the sins of the world, and in Him alone is eternal life.

Answer 20

which heaven are we talking about, islamic heaven or christian heaven?

Answer 21

If someone is truly a Christian (has accepted Jesus Christ as Savior) he/she has eternal life.  That is promised in God's Word, the Bible.

It is grace through faith in Christ that brings salvation and eternal life.  There is no other way.

In other words, it is those of Islamic faith that need to convert, not the other way around, according to my beliefs as a Christian and the Word of God, the Bible.

Answer 22

Dear,

Peace upon you.

In the name of Al-Mighty God Allah, the most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

To me l feel it's impossible that a person never heard of the Religion of Islam. Islam have been the Religion of the world for about 1400 years ago.

After Prophet Jesus Christ son of Mariam daughter of Imran (Isa AI-Masehi. a.s),  at about 600 years later the last Prophet and Apostle of God is Prophet Muhammad Sallallahhu'alaihi Wassalam brought the Religion of Islam, Al-Qur'an and Hadith.

The ticket to Heaven is through the religion of Islam. Allah the only one God, the Eternal God, He begot None, No was He begotten. None is equal to him had perfected Islam as the religion of the world.

How good you're, without the religion of Islam, there's no TICKET to Heaven.

HE Al-Mighty God Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala the Cherisher and Sustainer of the World, THEE do we worship, and THINE aid we seek.

Thank You.

Answer 23

God has sent a prophet to spread the message of Islam to every nation on the planet. So it would be impossible for someone not to have heard of Islam.

Answer 24

Allah says that Christians, Jews, muslims etc was all created by Allah and that one of our main goals are to see SIMILARITIES and come together / love eachother. Why would allah create muslims any different then a christian or jew ? Then that means some are doomed to go to h**l without even having to be bad.

Answer 25

In that case, those who have not been informed will have exceptions and maybe put through diferent tests in the hereafter, Only Allah knows, but please view this site;

Answer 26

You need to keep an open mind. There is more than just islam.

What about Christianity, buddism, Hinduism, Jewdism?

It is dependant really on your belief.

If you take the common belief between all faiths:

People will go to Heaven if -

a) they have led a good life   or

b) they trult repent for the bad things they have done

Then they will be allowed into heaven.

So in answer to your question. Yes they will. I am a catholic and when I die, I believe I will go to heaven because I will of led a good life.

Answer 27

I'm not sure if that can happen, but Allah SWT, said that he will never punish ANYONE who has never seen the message. Which means Allah won't punish anyone who hasn't heard, seen, thought of Islam.

Salaam.

Answer 28

what kind of dumb question is that. Do muslims assume christians won't go to heaven? what a load of bull

Answer 29

How can anyone hear about or practice christianity if they lived in a place and never heard of Islam? There is no place in this world where Islam is not reached ! By Allahs will, it is everywhere !

Answer 30

God lets every one in heaven

Even if you make the worst crime God will forgive you

I am Christian and proud of it!!!

Answer 31

Well considering you don't have to be Islam to go to heaven, I would imagine yes, if they are truely a good person who believes in God.
