families. But Allah was gracious to us and safeguarded us from
the punishment of the searing wind. Beforehand we certainly
used to call on Him because He is the All-Good, the Most
Merciful." (Surat at-Tur, 17-28)
The Trial of the Two Groups
The trial of the unbelievers, who did not follow Allah's path and
pursued either their own desires and cravings or the twisted values
or beliefs of their societies, will be very hard indeed. On that Day,
there will be no mercy or compassion for them, and no power will
be able to end their suffering. The main reason for this is that they
did not respect Allah's boundaries, even though they were sent
reminders, and that they would not have done so even if they were
sent back to Earth. This truth is revealed in the following verses:
If only you could see when they are standing before the Fire
and saying: "Oh! If only we could be sent back again, we would
not deny the Signs of our Lord and we would be among the
believers." No, it is simply that what they were concealing
before has been shown to them; and if they were sent back they
would merely return to what they were forbidden to do. Truly
they are liars. (Surat al-An'am, 27-28)
While they are accounting for their deeds, the blazing Hell is
awaiting them. They will be sent to Hell in return for what they did
while alive, for:
When the Pages are opened up, when the Heaven is peeled
away, when the Fire is set ablaze, when the Garden is brought
up close: then each self will know what it has done. (Surat at-
Takwir, 10-14)
