42 PARADISE

With the second blow, human beings will be resurrected
and gather in one place to account for their actions.
Everything they did, no matter how small, will be revealed to
witnesses and to the one giving the account. This moment will
bring a deadening shame to unbelievers, but joy and excite-
ment to believers, for the Qur'an refers to that day as the

D Day the witnesses appear," (Surah Ghafir, 51)
h

S
On the last day, sincere believers will receive the book of
their worldly deeds on their "right side." Their accounting will
be easy, as the Qur'an says, and they will be considered wor-
thy enough to enter Paradise.
As for him who is given his Book in his right hand,
he will say: "Here, come and read my Book!"
(Surat al-Haqqa, 19-22)

he will be given an easy reckoning and return to

When they have given their account, believers experience
