Page 51 - Death Resurrection Hell

HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

The same unyielding efforts will continue also in hell:

There they will cry out: 'Our Lord! take us out! We will act
rightly, differently from the way we used to act!' 'Did We not
let you live long enough for anyone who was going to pay
heed to pay heed? And did not the warner come to you? Taste
this then! There is no helper for the wrongdoers. (Surat al-
Fatir: 37)
These hopeless strivings in the hereafter and the painful end are

surely the results of man's scant acknowledgement of the actual pur-
pose of his existence on earth and of his value. One who has no faith
does not take lessons from the happenings around him, does not lis-
ten to the warnings sent by Allah, feigns ignorance of the voice of his
conscience or flouts it, and sees death as an unlikely event for him-
self. He complies with the wishes of the wicked side of his soul
rather than seeking Allah's pleasure. All these eventually pave the
way for death to seize him suddenly and make him fall into the des-
perate situation depicted in the above verses. Thus, before death
comes upon one, one should wake up from the deep sleep of heed-
lessness, since the moment of death is too late for such a recovery.
People are warned in the Qur'an against this:

Give from what We have provided for you before death
comes to one of you and he says, 'My Lord, if only you would
give me a little more time so that I can give alms and be one of
the righteous!' But Allah will not give anyone more time, once
their time has come. Allah is aware of what you do. (Surat al-
Munafiqun: 10-11)
