And the summary of that is: sometimes it was called that the book is a response to those who said about the annihilation of Paradise and Hell.

And this last term is indeed consistent with the content of the book.

As for the first term: and what was arranged on it by Dr. Al-Harbi is not accepted, because this title is not from the making of the author, and he is Sheikh of Islam Ibn Taimiyyah, and it is not agreed upon in what we have of the manuscript copies of the book, as it is not consistent with the reality of the book's contents as stated.

As for the second term: it is issued from an opponent in the context of response and criticism to Sheikh of Islam, so he limited the titling of the book to some of its contents which he wants to respond to, although the contents of the book are broader than that, as declared by Al-Subki himself in his previous reference to it, he said: 'And I have stopped at the mentioned classification and mentioned -meaning Sheikh of Islam- they are three statements in the annihilation of Paradise and Hell.'

And based on that, the title consistent with the reality of the book is: 'the response to those who said about the annihilation of Paradise and Hell, and the clarification of the statements on that.'

And it is the closest thing to one of the titles of a copy of the Egyptian House of Books, as previously mentioned.
