The Hour is Near

Most people know at least something about the Last Day.
Almost everyone has heard one thing or another about the horror
of the Hour. Nevertheless, most tend to have the same reaction to

it as they do to other matters of vital importance, that is, they do
not want to speak or even think about it. They try very hard not

about the wealthy owner of a rich vineyard:

sent back to my Lord, I will definitely get something better
in return. (Surat al-Kahf: 36)

professes to believe in Allah but avoids thinking about the reality

of the Last Day and puts forward claims that do not conform with
some verses of the Qur'an. In another verse Allah reveals the
doubt and uncertainty that engulfs unbelievers in regards to the

time of the end:
When you were told, “Allah’s promise is true and so is the

Hour, of which there is no doubt,” you said, “We have no
