280     The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)





                      WORLDLY WEALTH WILL NOT BENEFIT

                              PEOPLE IN THE HEREAFTER

                      As for those who do not believe, their wealth and children
                      will not help them against Allah in any way. They are fuel
                      for the Fire. (Surah Al 'Imran, 10)


                      Torah
                      Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the
                      day of the Lord's wrath. (Zephaniah 1:18)


                                 THE APPOINTED TIME

                      If Allah were to punish people for their wrong actions, not
                      a single creature would be left upon Earth, but He defers
                      them till a predetermined time. When their specified time
                      arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour nor can they
                      bring it forward. (Surat an-Nahl, 61)

                      Your Lord is the Ever-Forgiving, the Possessor of Mercy. If
                      He had taken them to task for what they have earned, He
                      would have hastened their punishment. Instead, they
                      have a promised appointment and they will not find any
                      refuge from it. (Surat al-Kahf, 58)
