to crumble to pieces? And it crumbles to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell.
And Allah guides not people that do wrong. (Surat at-Tawbah: 109)
Those who reject the commands of Allah in this world and, conscious-

vation in the hereafter. Therefore, before losing any time, each one has to
realise his situation in the presence of Allah and surrender to Him.

Allah's will) in Islam. Leave them alone to enjoy (the good things of this life)
and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge
(undeceive them). (Surat al-Hijr: 2-3)

The way to avoid eternal punishment, win eternal bliss and attain the
good pleasure of Allah is apparent:
