Q 2: A question also from Sudan: Allah states in His Glorious Book: And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning). It is narrated in some Hadiths that the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned that his parents would be in Hellfire. The question is: Were they not from Ahl-ul-Fatrah (those to whom Da`wah has not reached in an uncorrupted manner), those whom the Qur'an clearly mentioned as being saved in the Hereafter? Please answer me. May Allah guide you.

A 2 : There is nothing in the Qur'an that explicitly stating explicitly that Ahl-ul-Fatrah will be saved or will perish. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says, And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning). Because of His Perfect Justice, Allah does not punish anyone until He sends a Messenger. So, whomever the message of Islam does not reach, they will not be punished until the proof is established against them, as narrated in the Sunnah that the proof will be established against Ahl-ul-Fatrah and they will be tested on the Day of Resurrection. Thus, those who respond and obey will be saved
