وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَاۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمٗا مَّقۡضِيّٗا
(There is) not one of you (who is) not coming to it – (that) is for your Lord an inevitability decreed.
ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيّٗا

« No one of the Muslims who has had three children, zuho all died, will be touched by the Hellfire, except for an oath that must be fidfilled .s' 1 ’
