            An easy reckoning

            True believers will compete for good deeds throughout their
        lives because of their fear of facing a dreadful reckoning in the
        Hereafter. They will guard Allah's boundaries meticulously. The
        Qur'an describes this fear of the true believers thus:
            They fulfil their vows and fear a day whose evil will spread
            far and wide. They give food, despite their love for it, to the
            poor and orphans and captive [saying], "We feed you only
            out of desire for the Face of Allah. We do not want any re-
            payment from you or any thanks. Truly We fear from our
            Lord a glowering, calamitous Day." (Surat al-Insan: 7-10)
            In the Hereafter Allah will brighten the faces of those who fear
        Him and the accounting they will give to Him will be eased. The
        book of their deeds will be given to them in their right hands and the
        reckoning they feared will be made easy:
            As for him who is given his Book in his right hand, he will
            be given an easy reckoning and return to his family joyfully.
            (Surat al-Inshiqaq: 7-9)
             When the reckoning comes to an end, true believers will be in a
        state of happiness for having escaped the punishment of Hell. As indi-
        cated in the verse above, they will return to their loved ones with joy.


            An everlasting life in the Garden

            But those who fear their Lord will have Gardens with rivers
            flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever:
            hospitality from Allah. What is with Allah is better for those
            who are truly good. (Surah Al 'Imran: 198)
            What is the Garden promised to the righteous [who fear
            Allah] like? It has rivers flowing under it and its foodstuffs
