Question
Is it mentioned any where in Qur'aan or Hadeeth? What will be the destiny of the people of Al-A'raaf?
Answer

about their fate. However, some of interpreters of the Qur'aan said the verse that applies to them is the saying of Allaah: (interpretation of meaning): {Enter Paradise, [O people of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve.}[7:49]. This is one of two interpretations of the above verse, and it is the interpretation of Ibn 'Abbaas 
. So according to this interpretation, the Qur'aan stated that their fate will be 
indicated that they (people of elevations) will enter said: "While they were on the wall, Allaah appeared to them, and said to them: "Stand up and enter said: "Allaah has admitted the people of A'raaf (elevations) to
Allaah knows best.
