ber His blessings. He commands in the Qur’an, as follows:
O mankind! Remember Allah’s blessing to you. Is there
any creator other than Allah providing for you from heaven
and earth? There is no deity but Him. So how have you
been deluded? (Surah Fatir, 35:3)
These blessings, which are granted in this world, have perfect
counterparts in the Hereafter, as the Qur’an tells us:
No self knows the delight that is hidden away for it in rec-
ompense for what it used to do. (Surat as-Sajda, 32:17)
The inhabitants of Hell, on the other hand, will have nothing to
eat and drink but the tree of az-Zaqqum, boiling water, and bitter
thorny bush for all eternity.
Say: “Who provides for you out of heaven and earth? Who
controls hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living
from the dead and the dead from the living? Who directs
the whole affair?” They will say: “Allah.” Say: “So will you
not guard against evil?” (Surah Yunus, 10:31)
So that Allah can reward them for the best of what they did
and give them more from His unbounded favor. Allah pro-
vides for anyone He wills without reckoning. (Surat an-
Nur, 24:38)
