intelligent, tender, agreeable and easy-going. And this is the founda-
tion and root of a good moral life. For this reason, we regard death as a
means to draw us close to Allah, and as a means to Heaven. And in
this way, we know that it is a blessing, insha'Allah.

They fear the Day of Judgment

The fear of Allah and the Day of Judgment nurtured by those pos-
sessing faith is described in the following Qur'anic verse:
Those who fear their Lord in the Unseen and are apprehensive
about the Hour. (Surat al-Anbiya': 49)
In addition, in another Qur'anic verse Allah makes mention of the
inner fear of the believers:
In houses which Allah has permitted to be built and in which
His name is remembered, there are men who proclaim Hhis
glory morning and evening, not distracted by trade or com-
merce from the remembrance of Allah and the performance of
prayer and the giving of alms; fearing a day when all hearts
and eyes will be in turmoil. (Surat an-Nur: 36-37)
For both the people who have remained far removed from fear-
ing Allah throughout their lives, and those who believed and have
behaved cautiously, their earthly actions will be shown to them one
by one. Furthermore, without omitting even the slightest detail, on
that day those who have lived an irresponsible life without fearing
Allah and without acting cautiously will understand what they are
destined for:
That Day people will emerge segregated to see the results of
their actions. Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see
it. Whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. (Surat az-
Zilzal: 6-8)
