40                          PARADISE

                The following verse describes a believer's death:

                The greatest terror will not upset them, and the
                angels will welcome them: "This is your Day, the
                one that you were promised." (Surat an-Anbiya',
                103)
                Clearly, believers who have led a good life in this world
            will have a beautiful and easy death, and their life in the next
            world will begin when they are met by angels. From that mo-
            ment on, all of their relations with this world will cease, and
            they will be sent to an appointed place where they will come
            before Allah's Presence. As it was from the beginning, so it
            continues: comfort and ease await all believers.
