              billowing walls of smoke will hem them in. If they call
              for help, they will be helped with water like seething
              molten brass, frying their faces. What a noxious drink!
              What an evil repose! (Surat al-Kahf: 29)
              Likewise, Allah will present the Companions of the
           Garden green garments of fine silk and rich brocade and
           bracelets of gold and silver. Meanwhile, the Companions
           of the Fire will have garments of tar and fire cut out for
           them. The believers will dwell in fine dwellings and lofty
           chambers, reclining on "sumptuous woven couches,"

           exquisite rugs, and couches lined with rich brocade.
           Unbelievers, on the other hand, will have hell as a resting
           place and covering layers on top of them.
              Allah informs us in the Qur'an that believers will have
           anything they desire and the Companions of the Garden
           will be honored with a joyful and peaceful life in the
           Garden.
              They will have whatever they wish for with their Lord.
              (Surat ash-Shura: 22)

              So Allah has safeguarded them from the evil of that
              Day and has made them meet with radiance and pure
              joy. (Surat al-Insan: 11)
              Had unbelievers assumed a conscientious, sincere and
           honest attitude in the world and complied with the com-
           mands of Allah, they would not be subject to torment in
           hell on that Day. Thus unbelievers will feel more regret
