Today we have three questions in inshallah to Allah.

0:20.9

The first of them, somebody said that my friend and I were discussing the case of Abu

0:29.6

Lahab. And that how could Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala ask him to believe when a part of that

0:38.0

belief was that he cannot believe because the Quran mentions he's going to Jahannam.

1:53.4
