THE FINE REWARDS FOR THOSE

WHO FEAR ALLAH

They are given joyful tidings whilst on Earth

As for those people who lead their lives on Earth without fearful
awareness of Allah, we will examine below, in the light of the
Qur'an, the inexplicable fears they experience and the awesome
severity of Allah's majesty. Those, on the other hand, who fear Allah
and are cautious, will, in direct contrast, attain in the Hereafter total
security from all types of fear and lead their lives under Allah's pro-
tection and grace. Those true believers who throughout their lives
have felt a deep foreboding at the prospect of the Fire when the Day
of Judgment arrives, will be kept far away from every kind of fear
and will be absolutely safe. Whilst Allah gives these glad tidings in
the Qur'an, on the Last Day He will address His servants and an-
nounce many more glad tidings:
"My servants, you will feel no fear today; you will know no
sorrow." As for those who believed in Our Signs and became
Muslims: "Enter the Garden, you and your wives, delighting
in your joy."
Platters and cups of gold will passed around among them and
they will have there all that their hearts desire and their eyes
find delight in. You will remain in it timelessly, for ever.
