124 THE EVIL CALLED MOCKERY

Allah is witnessing them and they will be "rewarded" on the Day of
Judgment for all these words, acts and thoughts:
Do you not see that Allah knows what is in the heavens
and on earth? Three men cannot confer together secretly
without Him being the fourth, or five without Him being
the sixth, or fewer than that or more without Him being
with them wherever they are. Then He will inform them on
the Day of Resurrection of what they did. Allah has knowl-
edge of all things. (Surat al-Mujadala, 7)
In conclusion, the most intelligent way to behave in this world
is to abandon all low morality right away, repent, and never return
to it. Submit to Allah, live by His religion, and adopt the superior
morality found in the Qur'an. Clearly, those who do so will gain in
this world and the next, because Allah promises His followers that
they will receive a fine return for their good behavior:
The heedful will be among gardens and fountains, receiv-
ing what their Lord has given them. Certainly before that
they were good-doers. (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 15)
Everything in the heavens and everything in earth belongs
to Allah, so that He can repay those who do evil for what
they did and repay those who do good with the very best.
(Surat an-Najm, 31)
