Quran Issues
The Quran states that everyone, including Muslims, will enter hell, but this does not mean they will stay there.
Quick answer
While some Muslims interpret the Quranic verse to suggest that all will pass through hell, the traditional understanding among many scholars indicates that this passage implies a temporary experience for all, with the righteous ultimately being saved. The Christian perspective emphasizes that salvation is through faith in Christ, not through passing through hell.
