84 THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

In the following chapters, the similarities in between these
possibilities scientists regard as certain and the Day of
Judgment Allah relates in the Qur'an will be reviewed.

ALLAH IS ALL-POWERFUL

For many years, people have wondered how the universe
will end. Many possibilities spring to mind, but Allah can make
it happen without a cause and all of a sudden. The probabilities
revealed by scientific research constitute a warning and give us
the opportunity to reflect and turn to Allah before that difficult
Day comes in accordance with His will. The believers are
certain that the Day of Judgment will happen at the
predetermined time in His Presence. All people will experience
it, for they will be in the All-Powerful's grip. The fact that Allah
is All-Powerful is revealed in the Qur'an as follows:
Or let you see what We have promised them. They are
completely in Our power. (Surat az-Zukhruf, 42)

Many events can cause Earth's existing order to collapse and
all life to be lost. Furthermore, as time progresses, even more
probable causes are added to the already existing ones. Many
signs indicate that our world is moving rapidly toward its
predetermined end, even if most people deny the existence of
the Day of Judgment. Allah states this reality in the following
verse:
The Hour is coming, but I have concealed it so that every
self can be repaid for its efforts. (Surah Ta Ha, 15)
