DEATH, RESURRECTION, HELL


            vant verses, there is specific mention of the separation of believers
            and unbelievers on the Day of Judgments. Again we know from the
            Qur'an that believers will remain in paradise for all eternity, while
            unbelievers will be cast into hell, where they will suffer everlasting
            torment:

                 They say, 'The Fire will only touch us for a number of days.'
                 Say, 'Have you made a contract with Allah—then Allah will
                 not break His contract—or are you rather saying about Allah
                 what you do not know? 'No indeed! Those who accumulate
                 bad actions and are surrounded by their mistakes, are the
                 Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, forever.
                 Whereas those who believe and do right actions, such people
                 are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly,

                 forever. (Surat al-Baqara: 80-82)
                 In another verse Allah reveals thus:
                 That is because they say, The Fire will only touch us for a
                 number of days.' Their inventions have deluded them in their
                 religion. (Surah Al 'Imran: 24)

                 Hell is a place of unimaginable torment. Hell is the place where
            the attributes of Allah, al-Jabbar (The Compeller) and al-Qahhar
            (The Subduer) are manifested to the utmost degree. The torment in
            hell is incomparable to any pain in the world. A person who cannot
            endure even a burn on his finger saying he can readily undergo such
            torture is merely demonstrating weak-mindedness. Furthermore, a
            person who does not feel terrified by the Wrath of Allah fails to give
            Allah due esteem. Such a person is entirely deprived of wisdom.
                 — Thinking "I already deserve paradise": There is also a group
            who assume themselves to be the people of paradise. Engaging in
