                 And Hell is placed in full view for (all) to see. (Surat an-Nazi‘at: 36)
                 But on this Day the believers laugh at the unbelievers. (Surat al-
                 Mutaffifin: 34)

                 And the sinful saw the fire and apprehended that they have to fall
                 therein: no means did they find to turn away therefrom. (Surat al-
                 Kahf: 53)
                 As may be seen, occurrences that are going to take place after our
             death (from our point of view) are related as already experienced and past
             events in the Qur'an. Allah is not bound by the relative time frame that we
             are confined in. Allah has willed these things in timelessness: people have
             already performed them and all these events have been lived through and
             ended. It is imparted in the verse below that every event, be it big or small,
             is within the knowledge of Allah and recorded in a book:

                 In whatever business you may be, and whatever portion you may
                 be reciting from the Qur'an, and whatever deed you [humanity]
                 may be doing, We are witnesses thereof when you are deeply
                 engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from your Lord [so much as] the
                 weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and
                 not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record.
                 (Surah Yunus: 61)


                 The Worry of the Materialists
                 The facts discussed in this chapter, namely the truth underlying
             matter, timelessness, and spacelessness, are extremely clear indeed. As
             expressed earlier, these are not some sort of philosophy or way of
             thinking, but crystal-clear scientific truths, impossible to deny. On this
             issue, rational and logical evidence admits no other alternatives: For us,
             the universe—with all the matter composing it and all the people living on
             it—is an image, a collection of perceptions that we experience in our
             minds and whose original reality we cannot contact directly.
                 Materialists have a hard time in understanding this—for example, if
             we return to the example of Politzer's bus. Although Politzer technically
             knew that he could not step out of his perceptions, he could admit it only
