                       he Qur’an reveals that the entire universe, including humanity,
                       animals, plants, stars—in short, everything that has been cre-
              T T ated—will die. In the Qur’an, this day is described as "the Day
              mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds" (Surat al-
              Mutaffifin, 6).
                 The Hour is a day of terror. Those who did not believe before will, for
              the first time, feel Allah’s sheer power and might … and very strongly at
              that. For the unbelievers, this is a day of great suffering, terror, remorse,
              pain, and surprise. Everyone witnessing this day will experience an in-
              describable fear that is far worse than all of the fears experienced in this
              world.
