====Twelver Shia==== {{further|Twelver Shi'ism}} Like most Sunni, Shia Islam hold that all Muslims will eventually go to Jannah.{{#tag:ref|Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi quotes *Shaikh al-Mufeed: The Imami (Shia) scholars are unanimous that remaining in hellfire for ever is for the Kuffaar only and not for the major sinners from those who believe in Allah.<ref>''Awaa'il al-Maqaalaat'' by Shaikh al-Mufeed, p.14</ref><ref name="every Muslim-2020">{{cite web |last1=Al-Musawi |first1=Sayyed Mohammad |title=Is it a Shi'i belief that every Muslim, including people like Umar ibn Sa'd and Ibn Ziyad, will eventually enter paradise after being punished for their sins? Is there any Islamic sect that has such a belief? |url=https://www.al-islam.org/ask/is-it-a-shii-belief-that-every-muslim-including-people-like-umar-ibn-sad-and-ibn-ziyad-will-eventually-enter-paradise-after-being-punished-for-their-sins-is-there-any-islamic-sect-that-has-such-a-belief/sayyed-mohammad-al-musawi |website=al-Islam.org |access-date=4 May 2022 |date=2020}}</ref> *Shaikh al-Sadouq: The Hellfire is the place of those who did not believe in Allah and some of the believers in Allah who committed major sins but they will not remain in it. No one will remain in Hellfire for ever but the non believers.<ref>''Sharh Aqaed al-Sadouq'', Shaikh al-Sadouq p.55</ref><ref name="every Muslim-2020"/>|group="nb"}} On the fate of non-Muslims in the hereafter, Shia Islam (or at least cleric Ayatullah Mahdi Hadavi Tehrani of Al-Islam.org), takes a view similar to Ash'arism. Tehrani divides non-Muslims into two groups: the heedless and stubborn who will go to hell and the ignorant who will not "if they are truthful to their own religion": <blockquote> #Those who are termed 'Jahil-e-Muqassir' (lit. 'culpable ignorant' – ''jahil'' suggesting unbelief rather than literal ignorance). These are non-believers to whom the message of Islam has reached and who have understood its truthfulness. However, they are not prepared to accept the truth due to their obstinacy and stubbornness. This group deserves to be punished in hell. #Those who are termed 'Jahil-e-Qasir' (lit. 'inculpable ignorant'). These are non-believers to whom the message of Islam has not reached, or it has been presented to them in a very incomplete and untruthful manner. Such people will attain salvation if they are truthful to their own religion.<ref name="Tehrani-13">{{cite book |last1=Tehrani |first1=Ayatullah Mahdi Hadavi |title=Faith and Reason |publisher=Al-Islam.org |url=https://www.al-islam.org/faith-and-reason/question-13-non-muslims-and-hell |access-date=25 April 2022 |chapter=Question 20: Heaven and Hell|date=5 September 2012 }}</ref> </blockquote> (At least one [[Twelver Shia]] scholar 'Allama al-Hilli, insists that not only will non-Muslims be damned but suggests Sunni Muslim will be as well, as it is not possible for any Muslim to be ignorant of "the imamate and of the Return", and thus "whoever is ignorant of any of them is outside the circle of believers and worthy of eternal punishment."<ref name=":32">{{Cite book |last=Renard |first=John |title=Islamic Theological Themes: A Primary Source Reader |publisher=University of California Press |year=2014 |isbn=978-0-520-28189-9 |location=Oakland, California |pages=7–8}}</ref> This statement is not indicative of all Shia eschatological thought.) Also like mainstream schools, and unlike Muʿtazila, Twelver Shia hold that Jannah and hellfire "exist at present ... according to the Qur`an and ahadith". However, they will not "become fully apparent and represented" until Judgement Day.<ref name="Tehrani-20">{{cite book |last1=Tehrani |first1=Ayatullah Mahdi Hadavi |title=Faith and Reason |publisher=Al-Islam.org |url=https://www.al-islam.org/faith-and-reason/question-20-heaven-and-hell |access-date=25 April 2022 |chapter=Question 13: Non-muslims and Hell|date=5 September 2012 }}</ref> As for three other issues in Islamic eschatology: *the differences between Adam and Eve's [[Garden of Eden]], *"the heaven or hell of one's actions which envelopes a person"; and *the ''[[Barzakh#Interpretations|Barzakh]]'' state of "purgatory" in Islam after death and before Resurrection; in Shia Islam, these three "types" of jannah (or Jahannam) are "all simply manifestations of the ultimate, eternal heaven and hell".<ref name="Tehrani-20"/>
