Page 43 - Unawareness: A Sly Threat

Harun Yahya 41

trying to escape it is a sign that a person is unaware and that
he is being sucked into the whirlpool of unawareness. It is a
certain fact that unawareness may lead to eternal suffering.

Not thinking about the account one will give

People who are unaware also forget that they will be called
to account in Allah’s sight in the Hereafter. No matter if they die
alone or among many others, when the angel of death takes
their souls, all of their relationships with the world and those
around them are severed. When they are resurrected and go to
give their accounts, each person is alone in the vast multitude,
for no one will take any notice of anyone else. This solitude is
not like any earthly isolation. The moment of reckoning will be
the most difficult moment that an unaware person will ever
face. The resulting solitude comes from the realization that it is
now time to account for all that they have done, that they are
completely isolated from other people, and that they are pow-
erless in His presence. They are physically and emotionally
exposed; bereft of their power, possessions, titles, position,
and renown; and apart from all those to whom they were close.
In other words, they are totally alone in Allah’s presence:
Each of them will come to Him on the Day of
Resurrection all alone. (Surah Maryam: 95)
Unaware people who do not see any immediate conse-
quences for what they do here think that the same applies in
the Hereafter. Due to this error, they persuade their friends to
ignore Allah’s commands and prohibitions or to put off their
obedience until later, sayings things like “you only live once,”
