tion of His handiwork in the creation. It is related in the
Qur'an that believers always remember Allah as follows:

Those who remember Allah, standing, sitting and
lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the
heavens and the earth, [saying]: "Our Lord, You have
not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So
safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire."
(Surah Al 'Imran: 191)
One remembers Allah by being aware of the fact that
every occurrence is created by Him, reflecting on the mean-
ing of those occurrences in one's own life, trying to see and
understand the wisdom in the creation of Allah, trying to
grasp His exaltedness at every instant and transmitting all
these to other people. A person can steadfastly put his trust
in Allah when he is facing an apparently difficult situation
only if he remembers Allah at that very moment. Therefore,
one who is constantly mindful of Allah, is constantly aware
of Him and His power, and hence behaves properly.

17. How is the Day of Judgement described in
the Qur'an?
As stated in the Qur'an, "the Hour is coming..." (Surah
Ta Ha: 15). On that day all living things, along with the stars,
planets and galaxies, in short, everything in the heavens and
the earth will vanish. Some of the occurrences that are due
to take place are depicted in the Qur'an as follows:
Heaven will be split apart, for that Day it will be
very frail. (Surat al-Haqqa: 16)

The stars will fall in rapid succession. (Surat at-Tak-
wir: 2)
