             be remembered and preserved after they died. And so they
             disregarded this difficult day. In the Qur'an Allah reveals this dead-
             end situation, as follows:

               If those who did wrong owned everything on Earth, and the
               same again with it, they would offer it as a ransom to save
               themselves from the evil of the punishment on the Day of
               Resurrection. What confronts them from Allah will be
               something with which they did not reckon. (Surat az-Zumar,
               47)
               He [Ibrahim] said: "You have adopted idols apart from Allah as
               tokens of mutual affection in this world. But then on the Day
               of Resurrection, you will reject one another and curse one
               another. The Fire will be your shelter. You will have no
               helpers." (Surat al-'Ankabut, 25)
               Despite being party to many hypocrisies, no unbelievers will
             acknowledge that their friendships were false. For many, the

             friendships and love they experienced were "different from all
             others." In reality, they all made the same mistakes and did not
             experience true loyalty, not even on Earth. Furthermore, the offers
             that they will make on that Day to prevent their deserved
             punishment reveals their attitude toward friendship. Their families
             and friends, about whom they felt so strong while alive, will be
             considered a potential ransom. This fact is revealed in the Qur'an, as
             follows:
               [On that Day] no good friend will ask about his friend, even

               though they can see each other. An evildoer will wish that he
               could ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by
               means of his sons, his wife, his brother, or his family who
               sheltered him or everyone else on Earth, if that only meant that
