"In Qiyama, no servant would take any step, but he would be asked about four things: how he spent his life, from where he gained his properties and in what way he spent it, about the actions he performed, and about the love for us the Ahl al-Bayt (a)." | :"In Qiyama, no servant would take any step, but he would be asked about four things: how he spent his life, from where he gained his properties and in what way he spent it, about the actions he performed, and about the love for us the Ahl al-Bayt (a)." | ||
'''Good deeds of Non-Muslims''' | '''Good deeds of Non-Muslims:''' the actions of those who believe in [[God]] and the [[hereafter]] and performed them with the [[intention]] of closeness to God, will be accepted. If they do not have any fault for not having [[faith]], they will benefit the fruits of those of their actions which are not related to faith. However, if they are to blame about not having faith, meaning that they knew about [[Islam]] and its teachings, but they refused to accept them without a reason and only due to their [[prejudice]] and obstinacy, all their good deeds will be lost.<ref>Hāshimī, ''Pursimān-i Qurʾānī'', p. 121.</ref> | ||
'''Status of the deprived''' | '''Status of the deprived:''' the deprived ones are those who are so weak intellectually, physically, or financially that they cannot distinguish the truth from the falsehood, or that although they recognize the true belief, they cannot completely fulfill their duties or immigrate, due to their physical disability, financial weakness, or restrictions the environment imposes on them. | ||
For example, a person who is in a region, most of the residents of which are [[disbeliever]]s, the power is in their hand and there is no religious scholar there to deliver religious teachings to them, or the environment of disbelief and fear does not let that happen and the person cannot exit there and go to Islamic environment or that they never thought that there might be a religion of the truth out there. Such people will be included in the forgiveness of God and would not go to the [[hell]].<ref>Ṭabāṭabāyī, ''al-Mīzān'', vol. 5, p. 50-51.</ref> | |||
'''Status of | '''Status of the insane:''' insane ones have no responsibility as long as they have no sanity in this world and the power to recognize the truth and would not be questioned in the hereafter, because one of the requirements of performing the obligation is sanity. In a [[hadith]], [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] said, "In Qiyama, [[God]] will be harsh in the reckoning of the servants' deeds relative to the level of intellect He bestowed upon them."<ref>Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 1, p. 11.</ref> | ||

The way the children whose parents are disbeliever will be treated it is not known to us; however, based on [[Shi'a]] beliefs and the verses of the [[Qur'an]], they would not receive [[reward and punishment|punishment]]s; because, there would be any punishments if a person has received the message of God, while he has reached an age of responsibility and is sane and voluntarily opposes the order of God. Therefore, a person who dies in childhood has no [[obligation]] in the first place, so he would go to [[hell]] for not observing them.<ref>Hāshimī, ''Pursimān-i Qurʾānī'', p. 125.</ref> | |||

According to Islamic sources and texts, Sirat is the name of a bridge over the hell across from the [[paradise]], on which all the people pass.
