DEATH, RESURRECTION, HELL


                 However, this question, asked merely to escape reality and bol-
            ster self-deceit, has an explicit answer. Allah reveals:

                 Say 'He Who made them in the first place will bring them
                 back to life. He has total knowledge of each created thing.'
                 (Surah Ya sin: 79)
                 In the Qur'an, Allah states that the making of such inconsistent
            comparisons is an attribute peculiar to unbelievers:

                 Evil are the ways of those who do not have faith in the here-
                 after. But most sublime are the ways of Allah. He is the
                 Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat an-Nahl: 60)
                 Some, on the other hand, attempt to justify their stance by pro-
            viding some so-called explanations. However every word they say
            reveals their foolishness more. Allah says the following in the Qur'an
            about such people:

                 They will say, 'Are we to be restored to our former state?
                 When we have become decayed, worm-eaten bones?' They
                 say, 'That will clearly be a fruitless restoration!' (Surat an-
                 Nazi'at: 12)

                 In Surat an-Nahl, the persistence of the unbelievers in denying
            the hereafter is revealed as follows:
                 They swear by Allah with their most earnest oaths that Allah
                 will not raise up those who die, when, on the contrary, it is a
                 binding promise on Him; but most people do not know it.
                 (Surat an-Nahl: 38)

                 Taking their whims and desires as their gods, these people veil
            their consciences and deceive themselves. Allah reveals the nature of
            these people who deny the existence of the hereafter:
