Q: I heard someone mention that they learnt in one lesson that there is no such thing as going straight into jannah. Everyone has to answer for their sins, so if someone dies as a shaheed or with a stomach illness, then they will be saved from the punishment of the grave but they will still have to answer to Allah Ta’ala for their deeds.
What I understood is that the teacher is not saying that they cannot go straight into jannah. The point was it is only through Allah’s mercy that we will be allowed into jannah without reckoning - but the rule is that everyone has to answer for their sins.
Is this true regarding a shaheed or anyone else where it is generally understood they are forgiven and will gain direct entry into Jannah?
A: There will be those people who will enter into Jannah without any reckoning.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
