Abstract
The Islamic view of heaven being an in nite reward and hell being eternal punishment has been discussed through generations of theologists who then came to different points of view on the matter of them being in nite and eternal. Various discussions on this problem are continuing today. Some of them say than heaven and hell are nite, some say that only heaven is eternal. The majority of scholars of Ahl as-Sunnah believe that the blessings of heaven and the punishment in hell are eternal. The Holy Quran uses expressions like ‘abad’ and ‘huld’ to describe the time to be spent in there, which we should interpret as continuity or eternity. The other point is a belief that Allah expresses limitless mercy to all beings, which makes Musa Carullah think that everyone will be forgiven with no exceptions, including those who worshipped anything but Allah. He says also that he nds con rmation of his words in Qur’an, Sunnah and in the words of Islam’s greatest mysticists. Musa Carullah examined the evidence of nakhl through eight paragraphs which called burkhan after basing the thought concerning the issue on rational base. Musa Carullah was the one of spectacular names of reformist (zhadit) movement of the time which was spread in Russia. He explains his point of view in a book named The Argumentation of Allah’s Mercy. This article will review and assess Musa Carullah’s views on the eternity of Heaven and Hell.
