"Non of the Muslim scholars agree with you! How dare you suggest that Hell will be empty?"
First of all, not all scholars disagree with me. Read the following foot note from the English-translated Noble Quran by Minister Abdullah Yusuf Ali:
"Khalidin: This is the word which is usually translated "dwell forever" or "dwell for aye". Here it is definitely connected with two conditions, viz: (1) as long as the heavens and the earth endure, and (2) except as Allah wills. Some Muslim theologians deduce from this the condition that the penalties referred to are deeds of a life that will end should not be such as will never end." [3]
And quite frankly, I am not here to become popular by gaining people's attention through being too objecting. Some people thrive on doing that and end up making a fool out of themselves. But certainly this is not the case with me here.
Those scholars that disagree with the fact that Hell will be empty don't know what Prophet Jesus peace be upon him said. You see, if you take Noble Verse 7:40 by itself, then you wouldn't necessarily reach the conclusion that Hell will be empty. And likewise, if you take Jesus' Saying in Matthew 19:23-26 by itself, then you also wouldn't necessarily reach the conclusion that Hell will be empty.
The Verses, Noble Verse 7:40 and Matthew 19:23-26, compliment each others. Combined together they prove beyond the shadow of the doubt that Hell will indeed be empty. Frankly, I don't care if no Muslim scholar agrees with this. That's the whole idea of researching and constantly seeking to find the Truth.
If you settle on what some scholar(s) said several hundred years ago with their limited knowledge and resources, and you freeze your abilities of research, then there is no point of you having a brain! You must always verify the truth in what ever you are told.
And as I said above in the introduction, yes I do believe Jesus' Saying in Matthew 19:23-26 is Truthful and not corrupted because it is fascinating that Allah Almighty inspired Jesus to talk about the miracle of the camel going through the needle's eye long before Allah Almighty revealed it in the Noble Quran.
