Question

I am confused as to how the Jahannumis will enter into Jahannum. Will the manner of entering Jahannum differ between the different classes of people? However, I do not understand this, as I know everyone will be made to cross the Pulsiraat and the Jahannumis will be pulled down at this point into Jahannum. I have heard that the Jahannumis will enter Jahannum through the following methods: - Entering through one of seven Gates after travelling there in a big crowd. - Flung upside down. - Hurled inside. - Dragged on ones’ face by angels. (Perhaps there are more.) Will all this happen after being pulled down from the Pulsiraat? Please help me understand this.

Answer

The kuffaar will not cross over the pulsiraat, instead they will be dispatched to jahannum before the Muslims can cross over the pulsiraat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
