Question

[Mohamed Saif]

Assalamun alaikum dear brothers

Can we judge as Muslims whether a person goes to hell simply because he is not praying 5 times a day.

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: There were two men among Banu Isra'il, who were striving for the same goal. One of them would commit sin and the other would strive to do his best in the world. The man who exerted himself in worship continued to see the other in sin.

He would say: Refrain from it. One day he found him in sin and said to him: Refrain from it.

He said: Leave me alone with my Lord. Have you been sent as a watchman over me? He said: I swear by Allah, Allah will not forgive you, nor will he admit you to Paradise. Then their souls were taken back (by Allah), and they met together with the Lord of the worlds.

He (Allah) said to this man who had striven hard in worship; Had you knowledge about Me or had you power over that which I had in My hand? He said to the man who sinned: Go and enter Paradise by My mercy. He said about the other: Take him to Hell.

AbuHurayrah said: By Him in Whose hand my soul is, he spoke a word by which this world and the next world of his were destroyed.

Those who commit sins may one day repent and change themselves into much better person. So all you can do is to remind them till they repent.

I have another question. Will good non Muslims like Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi enter Jannah?

[QuranSearchCom]

You can not be subjective.  Every flesh and blood will be dealt with directly by Allah Almighty.  Every flesh and blood's case is unique.  No one can guarantee Heaven to anyone for you.

Allah Almighty is the ONLY JUDGE.  He doesn't allow anyone to share with Him any judgment (ولايشرك في حكمه احدا ) 18:26, and all people will be asked/judged by Allah Almighty (فوربك لنسألنهم اجمعين) 15:92.
