116 THE EVIL CALLED MOCKERY

the Qur'an's morality, the believers show patience and, because of
their loyalty to Allah, earn an honorable place in the eternal beauty
of Allah's paradise.
Unbelievers bring themselves down by believing that they ac-
tually interact the real world, the original of which they can never
reach. But one day they will awaken, as if from a dream, and sud-
denly realize that their life was like the blink of an eye. Moreover,
they will regret having spent it in unbelief. On the Day of Judgment,
all of their mocking words, glances, and acts will be held against
them. Indeed, even their own organs will be made to testify against
them:
[O]n the Day when their tongues, hands, and feet will tes-
tify against them about what they were doing. On that Day,
Allah will pay them in full what is due to them, and they
will know that Allah is the Clear Truth. (Surat an-Nur,
24-25)
