HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

Therefore, people who would otherwise fail to value the
blessings and perfection of paradise, are given the chance to

compare by being first created in this world, a place where
good and evil exist simultaneously.
On the Day of Judgment, when everyone will be raised,
Allah will gather all people around hell and then save those
people of faith who were attentive in their observance of His
limits. Someone who sees hell with his own eyes will
certainly understand, from his own experience, that paradise
is a great salvation and blessing. It is revealed in the related
verses as follows:
By your Lord, We will collect them and the evils
together. Then We will assemble them around hell on
their knees. Then We will drag out from every sect the
one among them most insolent towards the All-
Merciful. Then it is We Who will know best those most
deserving to roast in it. There is not one of you who will
not come to it. That is the final decision of your Lord.
Then We will rescue those who had fear of Allah and
We will leave the wrongdoers in it on their knees.
(Surah Maryam: 68-72)

In this world, Allah promises paradise, a life of infinite
beauty, to those who can appreciate this truth:
But as for those who believe and do right actions, We
will admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under
them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever.
Allah's promise is true. Whose speech could be truer
than Allah's? (Surat an-Nisa': 122)
