death. And, it is even more surprising that most people, when
reminded of death and the ensuing hardships, consider it a distant
possibility. As these people reject the verses of the Qur'an from the
outright ignorantly and without basing themselves on any kind of
scientific finding, they fail to understand the descriptions of the Day
of Judgment. They behave as if they will live forever, and so
endanger the eternal life for the sake of a temporary life. Death,
which people try to avoid at all costs, will find all of them, for
neither humanity nor the universe can avoid or prevent death. In
the Qur'an Allah reveals this reality, as follows:
Say: "Death, from which you are fleeing, will certainly catch up
with you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the
Unseen and the Visible, and He will inform you about what
you did." (Surat al-Jumu'a, 8)
Given that Earth's destruction is a physical fact rather than a
belief, the factors that will contribute to its end reveal themselves in
the light of scientific discoveries. Even people who do not believe in
Allah or any other religion must acknowledge that the universe is
approaching its inevitable end. Hence, other than the belief in the
Day of Judgment and the fact of Hereafter, a new fallacious
understanding emerges for some people. This fallacious
understanding is highly frightening, because it means endless
nothingness. However when those people face the Day of
Judgment, even if they call for destruction many times until the
eternity, their call will never be answered and they will get the
result of all they did while they were in this world in the Hereafter.
