Allah states that the fears of the unbelievers will be intensified in the
hereafter. On Judgement Day, they will be addressed thus:
One day shall We gather them all together: We shall say to those who
ascribed partners [to Us]: "Where are the partners whom you [invented and]
talked about?" (Surat al-An'am: 22)
In the Hereafter, unbelievers will bear witness to their possessions, chil-
dren and close friends leaving them and vanishing. They had assumed
themselves to be in contact with their originals in the world and flattered
themselves as partners with Allah. Allah stated this fact in the verse
"Behold! how they lie against their own souls! But the [lie] which
they invented will leave them in the lurch." (Surat al-An'am: 24)
The Gain of Believers
The facts - that matter is not absolute and that time is a perception -
alarm materialists, but for true believers, just the opposite holds true.
People with faith in Allah become very glad to have perceived the secret
behind matter, because this reality is the key to every question. With this,
all secrets are unlocked, and one can easily understand many issues that
previously seemed hard to grasp.
As said before, the issues of death, Paradise, Hell, the Hereafter, and
changing dimensions will be comprehended. Important questions such as,
"Where is Allah?," "What existed before Allah?," "Who created Allah?," "How
long will the life in cemetery last?," "Where are Paradise and Hell?," and
"Do Paradise and Hell currently exist?" will be easily answered. Once it's
understood that Allah created the entire universe from nothingness, the
questions of "When?," and "Where?" become meaningless, because
there will be no time or place left. When spacelessness is comprehended,
it can be understood that Hell, Paradise and Earth are all actually in the
same location. If timelessness is understood, it will be understood that
everything takes place at one single moment: Nothing need be awaited,
and time does not go by, because everything has already happened and
finished.
When this secret is comprehended, the world becomes like Paradise
