                  miliation for saying something other than the truth about Allah,
                  and being arrogant about His Signs.” (Surat al-An‘am: 93)

                  If only you could see when the angels take back those who disbe-
                  lieved at their death, beating their faces and their backs: “Taste the
                  punishment of the Burning! That is for what you did. Allah does
                  not wrong His servants.” (Surat al-Anfal: 50-51)

                  In other verses it is revealed as follows:
                  No indeed! When it reaches the gullet and he hears the words,
                  “Who can heal him now?” and he knows it is indeed the final part-
                  ing, (Surat al-Qiyama: 26-28)
                  Then, the denier comes face to face with the reality he has refused
             to acknowledge all his life. Together with death, he begins to suffer the

             punishment for the great sin he was committing throughout his life.
             The angel’s taking his life from deep within, beating his back, is only
             the beginning of his eternal punishment.
                  Shintoism has produced an erroneous myth about the creation of
             the universe from nothing just as it has about the aftermath of death.
             All Japanese people who believe in Shintoism, educated or not, unem-
             ployed or professional, ignorant or intellectual, believe that the uni-
             verse was produced by two deities, “Izanagi” and “Izanami”, but the

             myth continues: all the Japanese islands, people and Kami have sup-
             posedly been “created especially” by this duo. (Surely Allah is beyond
             that.) According to this irrational and illogical way of thinking, the
             oceans and Susanu (proud man, Kami), who controls the storms and
             winds blowing over the seas, were given birth to by the water flowing
             from Izanami’s nostrils; from a tear from his right eye the moon god
             Tsukinomani, and from a tear from his left eye the sun goddess

             Ameterasu were born. 112  As we will see in greater detail over the com-
             ing chapters, Japanese nationalism feeds off this superstitious myth,
