ing in wonder. You will recognize in their faces the radi-
ance of delight. They are given the choicest sealed wine
to drink, whose seal is musk. Let people with aspiration

Knowing that there is no return from
the Hereafter

Unaware people deceive themselves by thinking that
they will have another opportunity through reincarnation. They
think that no matter what errors they have made, they will be
reborn so that they can take care of them:
If only you could see the evildoers hanging their heads
in shame before their Lord: “Our Lord, we have seen and
heard, so send us back again and we will act rightly.
Truly we now have certainty.” (Surat as-Sajda: 12)
One reason why we are told in the Qur’an about this is so
that people will know beforehand that there is no return from
that day; and that they should not become caught up in base-
less apprehensions, but seek Allah’s favor. Allah warns peo-
ple who do not think about the punishment waiting for them
or who doubt its reality, and those whose faith is not based on
sure knowledge, that they will eventually encounter these
truths in His presence. For those who remain profoundly
unaware due to their stubborn refusal to understand this,
imagining that they will be given another opportunity is noth-
ing more than self-deception.
People who deserve to be punished will give vent to their
sorrow and regret on the Day of Judgment:
