There is no doubt that in the eternal life in
the hereafter those people who forgot Allah and
worshipped instead powerless stone idols and
thus lived in aberration, will suffer the greatest
loss of all. They waste their entire lives trying to
please their idols whilst believing in the lie that
they will be reincarnated time after time without
ever dying in the true sense of the word, but on
death, they will realize that the lies they believed
in only served to led them astray. Allah reveals
this fact in the Surat al-‘Ankabut:
He said, “You have adopted idols apart from
Allah as tokens of mutual affection in this
world. But then on the Day of Resurrection
you will reject one another and curse one an-
other. The Fire will be your shelter. You will
have no helpers.” (Surat al-‘Ankabut: 25)
Our Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace) said the following
about people who ascribe partners to Allah:
“Whosoever dies as someone who ascribes part-
ners to Allah, will enter hell.” 11 But he also re-
vealed the reward people who do not contami-
nate their faith by ascribing partners to Allah:
“Whosoever dies without ascribing partners to
Allah, who genuinely believed in His unity and
worshipped Him with a true heart and who per-
formed prayer and did the prescribed charity, will
have died having earned Allah’s good pleasure.” 12
