AN EASY PASSAGE TO
THE NEXT WORLD
Those the angels take in a virtuous state. They say: "Peace
be upon you! Enter Paradise for what you did."
(Surat an-Nahl: 32)
Death in a Virtuous State
Up to this point, we have seen that sincere believers live a
good life in this world, are not overcome with fear or pes-
simism, and have a healthy and comfortable spiritual life. Since
those who believe seek Allah's pleasure, we learn from the
Qur'an that they have won His special assistance, support, and
protection; their misdeeds will be removed from them and
that they will be rewarded according to the best of what they
did; and they will not be wronged. Since they "purchase" the
next life in exchange for this life, they have made what the
Qur'an calls a "good bargain." Allah is pleased with them, and
they are pleased with Him.
