        sins in the hereafter. However, this punishment also reaches them
        while they are still in this world. They mock the believers and the
        prophets sent by Allah, and Allah mocks them. Allah makes this ab-
        solutely clear:
             But Allah is mocking them and drawing them on as they
             wander blindly in their excessive insolence. (Surat al-Baqara,
             15)
             By misusing the time allotted to them, the unbelievers fall into a
        terrible trap. Throughout their lives they struggle against the Qur'an's
        morality, Allah's prophets, and the believers, thinking that they will
        suffer no negative consequences. In fact, no matter how arrogant they
        may be in this life, they will die and be buried whenever Allah wills
        this to happen. Allah withdraws the property of which they are so
        proud and leaves their bodies to rot beneath the ground. All of this is
        inescapable – they will die just like everybody else. Their mortality
        and inability to escape death are the greatest proofs of their desperate
        position.
             Moreover, Allah sends a lot of trouble, concern, and difficulty to
        these people. While they believe themselves superior, all that happens
        to them reveals just how helpless they really are. Allah gives us sev-
        eral examples in the Qur'an of the state into which the unbelievers will
        fall. In the coming pages, we will speak of those who engage in mock-
        ery and the end that awaits them.


             The End of Those Who Mock Others
             Pharaoh has gone down in history as a byword for unbelief and
        cruelty. In the Qur'an Allah describes his arrogant attitude and that of
        his court:
             Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our signs
