dom, unknown to any person, in the destiny that Allah has
             determined for them. It is incompatible with the Qur’an’s
             morals to be displeased with and to complain of situations
             that people do not like, such as poverty, unattractiveness, or
             sickness. All men and women should be content with their
             destiny, for those who complain and are unhappy with a situ-
             ation are, in fact, displeased with a good thing that Allah has
             willed for them. Such an attitude displays their ingratitude
             toward Allah, because He creates every incident in order to
             test people, and makes it a means for their eternal salvation.
             The ideal behavior that believers should exhibit is described
             in the Qur’an, as follows:
                 Say: "Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has
                 ordained for us. He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the
                 believers should put their trust." (Surat at-Tawba, 51)


                 36. Will we see the Prophets on the Day

                 of Judgment?
                 All people who have ever lived, including the Prophets,
             will be gathered on the Day of Judgment. Each Prophet will
             return to Allah to bear witness to his people. People will be
             judged in His presence for all of their actions in the world.
             Hence, it will be possible, by His will, to see Prophets
             Muhammad (saas), `Isa (as), Adam (as), Yusuf (as), and all of
             the other Prophets on that day. Allah relates this in the
             Qur’an, as follows:
                 And Earth will shine with the Pure Light of its Lord, the
                 Book will be put in place, and the Prophets and wit-
                 nesses will be brought. It will be decided between them
