Hidaayah is of three types

[dkSadiq.ibn.Owodunni]

JazaakAllaahu khayraa for the feedback & hint Ustaadh. Is the answer Guidance (in the hereafter) to the Paradise or the Hell-Fire? Based on this hadeeth:

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ صِدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ كَذَّابًا

'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) as saying: "Truthfulness leads one to al-Birr and al-Birr leads one to Paradise and the person tells the truth until he is recorded as truthful, and lying leads to obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell, and the person tells a lie until he is recorded as a liar".


And does the saying of Allah saying apply here?:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَظَلَمُوا لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلَا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ طَرِيقًا - إِلَّا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا

Also, I think Brother Husayn's (may Allah bless him & reward him for his beneficial post) suggestion is the same as ath-Thabaat, right? Similar to the saying of Allaah about ashaabul-Kahf (the Companions of the Cave):

إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ آمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًى
{Truly! They were young men who believed in their Lord (Allah), and We increased them in guidance.} (al-Kahf 18 v 12)

And His saying:

وَالَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا زَادَهُمْ هُدًى وَآتَاهُمْ تَقْوَاهُمْ
{While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance, and bestows on them their piety.} (Muhammad 47 v 17)

[Moosaa.Richardson]

Baarak Allaahu feekum.

Saadiq - you've got it. Lying gives you "hidaayah" to evil behavior, and bad behavior gives you "hidaayah" to the Hellfire.

So there you have another meaning of hidaayah in the texts: misguidance (idh-laal).

Jazaak Allaahu khayran.
