pre-eminence, value and superiority of believers. The follow-
ing verse affirms that most people will not be believers:
But most people, for all your eagerness, are not believ-

ers. (Surah Yusuf: 103)
For that reason it would be a big loss for one to take the
majority as one's role model, and to believe the way the major-
ity believes. These people, no matter how great they are in
number, will not find a way of escape from Hell in the
Hereafter, unless they change their attitude and bad manners
in this world.

20. How will believers be welcomed in the
Hereafter?

Believers, unlike unbelievers, will be cordially welcomed
to their lives in the Hereafter. As stated in the verse "those the
angels take in a virtuous state...." (Surat an-Nahl: 32), they are
taken in death in a good state. They are safe from every kind
of fear. They are given an easy reckoning thanks to Allah's fa-
vour and mercy to them. They are given by the angels the glad
tidings of Paradise that Allah promised them, and are eventu-
ally escorted there:

And those who heed Lord will be driven to Paradise
in companies and when they arrive there, finding its
gates open, its custodians will say to them, "Peace be
upon you! You have done well so enter it timelessly,
for ever." They will say, "Praise be to Allah Who has
fulfilled His promise to us and made us the inheritors
of this land, letting us settle in Paradise wherever we
want. How excellent is the wage of those who work!"
(Surat az-Zumar: 73-74)
