of everything he owns is, in his own words, to be sentenced to a living death.
Together with this reality, only God and they are left. In this verse, God
points out the fact that everyone is totally alone in His presence.
Leave the person I created on his own to Me alone. (Surat al-
Muddaththir: 11)
This remarkable fact is also revealed in many other verses:
You have come to Us all alone just as We created you at first, leaving
behind you everything We bestowed on you... (Surah Maryam: 95)
Each of them will come to Him on the Day of Rising all alone. (The
Koran, 19: 95)
In another verse, God reveals that deniers will be addressed with these
words on the Last Day:
On the Day We gather them all together, We will say to those who
associated others with God, "Where are the partner-gods, for whom you
made such claims?" (Surat al-An'am: 22)
After this, deniers will see the loss and destruction of all the things they
regarded as more important than God, things they thought existed in the
world such as possessions, children and all the things around them. God
reveals this truth in this verse:
See how they lie against themselves and how what they invented has
forsaken them! (Surat al-An'am: 24)
The 21st century is a turning point in which this reality will be spread
among all people and materialism will be wiped off the face of the earth. Why
people believed what they believed in the past or held the opinions they held
is not important. What is important is that, after seeing the truth, they must not
resist it and not be too late to understand this truth which will be completely
understood at the time of death. We must not forget that there is no escape
from truth.
