laugh constantly. He removes their sadness, for He is their friend
and helper. Even if they face hardship and trouble, He gives them
patience and strength and never causes them to despair. Believers
only weep in prostration, over the awe they feel for our Lord’s
grandeur. Destined to have joy both in this world and the next, they
experience the contentment related in the following verses:
As for those who believed and did right actions, they will
be made joyful in a verdant meadow. (Surat ar-Rum, 30:15)
The Companions of the Garden are busy enjoying them-
selves today. (Surah Ya Sin, 36:55)
“My servants, you will feel no fear today; you will know no
sorrow.” As for those who believed in Our Signs and be-
came Muslims: “Enter the Garden, you and your spouses,
delighting in your joy.” (Surat az-Zukhruf, 43:68-70)
The people who have consciousness of Allah will be in
Gardens of Delight, savoring what their Lord has given
them. Their Lord will safeguard them from the punishment
of the Blazing Fire. (Surat at-Tur, 52:17-18)
In the Hereafter, unbelievers and believers will be recognized
and separated by their facial expressions. This distinction is de-
scribed below, as follows:
That Day some faces will be radiant, laughing, rejoicing.
That Day some faces will be dust-covered, overcast with
gloom. Those are the dissolute unbelievers. (Surah ‘Abasa,
80:38-42)
