SIGNS OF THE END TIMES IN SURAT AL-KAHF


              her life at the fixed time in destiny. In His presence, the day, the hour,
              and even the second, place, and circumstance of every person’s death is
              known. Allah, beyond time and space, encompasses what to human
              knowledge is an unknown quantity: the time of one’s death.
                 On the Day of Judgment, the believers will not fear, for Allah prom-
              ises that: "My servants, you will feel no fear today; you will know no
              sorrow" (Surat az-Zukhruf, 68). However, it will be a very difficult day
              for the unbelievers.
                 The believers will receive their reward for the care and attention that
              they paid to winning Allah’s good pleasure, to praying and worship-
              ping as commanded, and to heeding Allah as required, in the nicest
              manner. Allah will not let them feel the panic, remorse, and sorrow felt
              by the unbelievers. He describes the believers’ situation in the Hereafter
              in the following terms:
                 On the Day you see the male and female believers, with their
                 light streaming out in front of them, and to their right: "Good
                 news for you today of Gardens with rivers flowing under them,
                 remaining in them timelessly, forever. That is the Great
                 Victory." (Surat al-Hadid, 12)
