Tauheed

(a) Muslims believe that God alone is Lord, that He

alone should be worshipped and that His names and
attributes are unique to Him. Outline Muslim beliefs in
the oneness of God. [10]

● Tauheed or the belief in the Oneness of Allah is the

first and the main principle of Islam.
● It means that Allah is the Only Creator and
Sustainer of the universe.
● He is Ever-Living without a beginning or an end
(the first and the last).
● He is Independent while others are dependent on
Him for their existence and survival.
● He is the source and support of all life.

● He is the only one worthy of worship. Allah is

Omnipotent (having unlimited authority or power).
● He knows everything; the hidden and the manifest
(obvious, apparent).
● He is not bound by space and time; He is
everywhere and has knowledge of the past, present
and future.
● Surah Ikhlaas proclaims this in the most
comprehensive way:
● '' Say He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal. He
does not beget nor is He begotten, and there is
none like Him'' (112:1-4).
● Surah Ikhlaas is also called one-third of the Qur'an
which means that one-third of the subject matter of
the Qur'an revolves around Tauheed.
● A person becomes a Muslim just by believing and
uttering the expression:
● '' There is no god but Allah and Mohammad (pbuh)
is the Messenger of Allah''. The first part of this
message occurs repeatedly in the Qur'an in slightly
different shades. For example the Verse of Throne
begins as: ''there is no God but He...'' (2:255).
● The first Surah of the Qur'an begins as: ''Praise be
to Allah, the Lord of the worlds" (1:1).
● According to the leading scholars of Islam, there
are three kinds of Tauheed:
● Tauhid-ar-Rabubiya (Oneness of Lordship of Allah)

● Tauhid-al-Auluhiya (Oneness in the Worship of

Allah)
● Tauhid-al-Asma-wa-Sifat (Oneness of the names
and qualities of Allah)\
● Tauhid-ar-Rabubiya refers to the belief that Allah is
Self-Existent; He is the Creator and the Sustainer of
the universe.
● ‘’ Allah is the Creator of all things and He is the
Guardian over all things’’ (39:62). Allah is
Omnipotent, the Law Giver and the Judge.
● The verse of the Throne says: ‘’….who is there who
can intercede in His presence except as He
permits…’’ (2:255).
● It also to the belief that He is entirely immune to all
forms of human weaknesses and needs such as
hunger, thirst and the need to rest or sleep etc.
● ‘’…no slumber ca seize Him nor sleep…’’ (2:255).

● He is above the grip of space and time, ‘’ He is the

First and Last, the evident and the hidden…’’ (57:3).
● Tauhid-al-Auluhiya refers to the belief that since
Allah is the creator, He is the only one worthy of
worship.
● All supplication, beseeching (Pleading) and
imploring (begging) are due only to Allah.
● So we as Muslims, must observe all the religious
practices such as prayers, Hajj, fast and giving
alms to the poor etc. for His sake only.
● ‘’I created Jinn and mankind only to worship
me’’ (51:56).
● ‘’ You alone we worship and Your aid we seek’’ (1:4).

● Tauhid-al-Asma-wa-Sifat refers to the belief that

Allah is matchless not only in His Essence but also
in His names and Attributes.
● This belief includes that we must not name or
qualify Allah except with what He and His
Messenger have named or qualified Him.
● None can be named or qualified with the names or
qualifications of Allah, for example Karim, Raheem,
Rehman etc. ‘’And there is none like unto
Him” (112:5).
● We must believe in all the qualities of Allah which
He has stated in His Book or mentioned through
His Messenger without changing, twisting or
ignoring their meaning.
● The acknowledgement of Tauheed is the
fundamental belief in Islam and is the basis of
salvation (rescue).
● The basic message of all the prophets was the
same i.e. there is no god but Allah.
● All the previous scriptures preached the Unity of
Allah but due to alterations made in their text over
the passage of time, the doctrine (set of guidelines)
of Tauheed was changed. Finally when the need
arose for final and universal guidance, Allah sent
His last Messenger with the Qur’an to set the
people on the straight path and correct their
beliefs.
● We cannot see Allah but His existence is confirmed
when we ponder over the universe, that such an
organized and well coordinated world could not
have come into existence on its own; just like a
letter cannot be written without an author.
 ● ‘’who created the seven heavens, one above the
other. You will not see any flaw in what the Lord of
mercy creates. Look again! Can you see any flaw?
Look again! And again! Your sight will turn back to
you, weak and defeated.’’ (67:3-4).
●
(b) Why has God repeatedly warned Muslims
against committing shirk? [4]
An evaluative and personal response is needed to
answer this question. It could be said that God has
warned Muslims against committing shirk as it signifies
ascribing partners to him or suggesting that another
could share his divine attributes. It has been termed as
the most unforgivable of sins for which one will not be
forgiven by God.
SHIRK:

● The Arabic word ‘’shirk’’ means ‘’to share’’.

● In religious sense it means associating partners

with Allah.
● There is an Arabic proverb, ‘’things become known
through their opposites.
● ’’ In the light of this saying, it is necessary to
understand the nature of Shirk for the better
knowledge of the oneness of Allah. The avoidance
of Shirk is the fundamental teaching of the Qur’an,
because Shirk is nothing but the reverse side of
Tauheed.
● Given the fact that the proclamation of Tauheed is
the first pillar of Islam and Tauheed itself is the first
 principle of Islam, one begins o understand why
Shirk is so strongly criticized and why.
● According to the Holy Qur’an it is the only
unforgiveable sin: ‘’indeed Allah forgives not that a
partner should be associated with Him, but less
than that, He forgives whomsoever He wills.’’ (4:48)
● The acknowledgement of the Unity of Allah is
bound in human nature, since humans were
created with the knowledge that ‘’there is no god
but Allah.’’
● The prophets were sent as a reminder of what was
already in their original nature.
● Hence to associate others with Allah is to go
against the most basic instincts of the human
species. It is, so to speak, to go against human
nature.
 BELIEF IN ANGELS

● Belief in the existence of angels is an article of

Islamic faith.
● The non-believers considered angels to be deities
and Allah’s daughters.
● This article of faith purifies the belief in the unity of
Allah.
● Allah has appointed many of His Angels for the
management of this Universe.
● Angels have been created from light and are not
visible to ordinary mortals.
● They belong to the category of the unseen unless
they appear in human form.
● They perform their assigned duties according to
the Decree (order) of God.
● They are sent to protect men, to administer Allah’s
punishments, to carry His messages and to
perform various other functions.
● Allah describes their entire submission to Him in
the following words:
● "They never disobey Allah's Command and do as
they are commanded."(16:50)
● The Angels are also called messengers in the Holy
Book as they conveyed the Divine message of Allah
to the Prophets.
● The Angels were also appointed duties in the
human form; they appeared before Abraham to
give him the glad tidings of a son.
● Hazrat Lut was also warned about impending
doom of his town.
● Hazrat Maryam was also blessed with the news of a
Holy son by an angel Gabriel.
● Hazrat Zakriya also experienced the same
experience of visiting of an angel.
● Angels are Allah's creation having necessary
powers and qualities.
● They are not His daughters nor are they objects of
worship.
● They have no knowledge except that what Allah has
taught them.
● They prostrated before Adam when Allah
commanded them to do so.
● Angels glorify and praise Allah. They never get
tired.
● They neither need sleep nor do they require the
things needed by human beings.
● Angels are the guardians of Hell-fire.

● They will welcome in Heaven all those who obey

Allah's commands and will throw the wrong doers
into Hell.
● The name of the angel in charge of Paradise is
Rizwan while Malik is in charge of Hell. There are
many Angels like Kiram-an-katibeen i.e. angels on
our shoulders having records of our good and bad
deeds.
● They are many in numbers.

● The Qur’an says: ‘’But verily, over you (are

appointed angels) to protect you- kind and
honorable, writing down (your deeds)’’. (82:10-11)
● There are also Munkar and Nakeer, they go to the
graves of the newly dead to ask them questions.
Besides, there are many angels having various
assignments with them they are as under;
● Hazrat Gabriel, who brought revelations from Allah
to the Prophets including Hazrat Muhammad
(pbuh) He is called 'Rooh-ul-Allah' or ‘Rooh-ul-
Ameen’ because he never changes the messages of
Allah.
● Hazrat Izrael, the angel of death. He is responsible
for taking our souls upon death.
● Hazrat Israfeel, who will blow the trumpet at the
time of the end of the world, i.e. on the Day of
Judgment. With his second blow everyone will rise
again for the Day of Judgment.
● Hazrat Mekaeel, who is responsible for rainfall and
distribution of ‘rizq’( means of sustenance).
 BELIEF IN THE LAST DAY

● Belief in life after death, bodily resurrection, final

judgment and the eternal life in Paradise and (or)
Hell is one of the articles of faith.
● This world as we know it will come to an end one
day and the dead will rise from their resting place
for their final and fair trial.
● Muslims believe that the time of Qiyama is
preordained by Allah but is unknown to man.
● The trials and problems preceding and during the
Day of Resurrection are described in detail in the
Quran and Hadith. The Quran says:
● “Anyone who denies God, His angels, His books, His
messenger and the Day of Judgment has gone far,
far astray.”(4:136)
● Islam teaches us that there are four definite stages
of every human life.
● The first is in the womb of our mother. There, the
flesh is united with the spirit.
● According to a tradition of the Holy Prophet, this
joining takes place some time after the fortieth day
of conception.
● The second stage of our life begins in this world.

● We are born, grow from children to adults and then

reach old age and die.
● Some people die in their youth while others live
longer than most.
● The third stage starts after our death.

● A person’s life on this earth ends with his/her

death, after which another life begins in the state
of Barzakh, which is an intermediate state in which
the soul is placed after death till resurrection.
● The state of grave is therefore, the same state as
that of Barzakh.
● Immediately after death the lesser Judgement or
Qiyamat-e-Sughra takes place, after which the
righteous are spoken of as tasting the fruit of their
good deeds while the evil doers have to taste the
evil consequences of their wrong deeds.
● The fourth and final stage of our existence is
eternal.
● It will begin with the end of the world.

● The entire universe with all forms of life will be

brought to its ends by its Creator.
● At many places in the Quran the details of the
onset and outcome of the Day of Judgment have
been given.
● That Day will start by the first blow of Trumpet by
Hazrat Israfil.
● The Quran says:“When the Trumpet is sounded a
single time. When the earth and its mountains are
raised high and then crushed to powder with a
 single blow. On that Day the Great Event will come
to pass.” (69:13-15)
● The second Trumpet will be blown and there will be
resurrection of everything that existed in this
world.
● A new world will emerge with a new sky.

● All human beings who had lived on this earth since

its inception (start) will come back to life, this is
called Hashr.
● Now all humans will stand before Allah for
accountability of all their deeds in the worldly life.
Allah will set the Scale of Ultimate Justice.
● The account of our deeds will be examined in many
ways.
● Some people will be interrogated in secrecy and if
the person concerned confesses his/her sins
honestly, fearing Allah, they will be pardoned.
● Some will be subjected to a very severe
interrogation during which they will have to explain
their each and every deed and utterance.
● The people undergoing such an interrogation will
be sent to Hell.
● No injustice will be done on the Day of Judgement.

● People’s hands, feet and tongue will bear witness

against them.
● There will be no bargaining, no friendship or
intercession.
● Our good and evil deeds will be sorted out.

● If we persecuted or harmed anyone in any way, we

may lose some of our good deeds to them by way
of compensation and if we have no good deeds left
then the other person’s bad deeds will be
transferred to our account.
● Then our deeds will be weighed on the scale
mentioned before and the true weight of our
conduct will be shown to us.
● People will be given their book of deeds which they
will be asked to read.
● The good will be given their record in their right
hand, while the sinners in their left hand or from
behind their backs.
● The Qur’an says: ‘’then he who is given his record in
his right hand will have an easy reckoning
(calculation) and return to his people well pleased.
But whoever is given his record from behind his
back will cry out for destruction and he will enter a
blazing fire.’’ (84:7-12)
● Finally according to the deeds people will be
awarded forever and ever.
● The Quran promises eternal dwelling place as a
reward in Paradise for the pious and the righteous.
● The evildoers and the sinners, on the other hand
will be given horrible punishment.
 ● When the judgment is finished, a bridge will be
stretched over the top of the pit of Hell.
● This bridge, called the Sirat, will lead to Paradise
which will be on the other side.
● Everyone will have to cross this bridge(Sirat).

● The Prophets and the righteous people will zoom

right over and enter Paradise.
● The treading of the bridge by the people will be
based on the nature and enormity of their good or
bad deeds.
● The two states of Heaven and Hell are not
spiritual.
● They will be experienced in physical forms by the
new bodies with which Allah will raise men up.
BELIEF IN PROPHETS

● All messengers were mortals, human beings,

endowed with Divine revelations and appointed by
God to teach mankind. The Holy Quran mentions
the names of 25 messengers and prophets and
states that there are others. These include Noah,
Abrahim, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and
Muhammad. Their message is the same and it is
Islam and it came from One and the Same Source;
God, and it is to submit to His will and to obey his
law, ie, to become a Muslim.
● Belief in Allah’s messengers and prophets is an
article of faith in Islam. A prophet is one who is very
 near to Allah, through the total surrender of his
entire being to Him and who receives revelations
from Him which serve as a source of guidance for
man. Islam holds that prophet posses the following
characteristics: he is absolutely truthful, he is free
of all sins, he delivers the messages from Allah
without omission or concealment and he has the
highest order of intelligence and mental ability.
● According to the Quran, all the apostles and
prophets sent by Allah were men, had wives and
children and were mortal. All of them taught in the
language of the people to whom they were sent. At
same time, the Quran tells us that they were good
and truthful. He gave them the Book and
prophethood and sent them for guidance of their
people
● The unbelievers scoffed at them and persecuted
them but they bore it patiently. Some of them were
endowed with more gifts than others, but Muslims
are asked to believe in all of them, to respect them
and to make no distinction amongst them. The
Quran says:
● “….. We make no distinction between any of His
messengers.” (2:285)
● The apostles and prophets will be questioned on
the Day of Judgment about response of their
people to their mission. The Quran says that Allah
sent a Warner and guide to every nation and it
mentions the names of many of them. According to
 a tradition of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), their number
is said to be 124,000. At the beginning of the line is
Hazrat Adam, who was also the first human being.
Allah bestowed prophethood on him and gave him
guidance for himself and his descendents. The
Quran mentions Hazart Nuh, who brought a
message of warning to his people. They refused to
listen and were destroyed by the flood. The next
major prophet whose history is narrated in the
Quran is Hazrat Ibrahim.
● From Hazrat Ibrahim came a long line of prophets
through his two sons- Hazrat Ismail and Hazrat
Ishaq. From Hazrat Ishaq a number of prophets
came which include Hazrat Yaqoob, Hazrat Yusuf,
Hazrat Musa, Hazrat Daud, Hazrat Sulaiman,
Hazrat Yahya and Hazrat Isa. Hazrat Ismail was the
ancestor of the Arabs and Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh).
● Many Prophets came to this world. The last in the
line of prophets is the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) who is termed as ‘the seal of prophets’. The
Quran says that the appearance of the Prophet
(pbuh) was foretold by previous prophets that
preceded him.
● Mention of books revealed on them will help
prepare a better answer.
●
 BELIEF IN REVEALED BOOKS

● Human beings are the servants of Allah and need

guidance to carry out their various duties and
responsibilities.
● This guidance is mentioned in Books revealed to
various Prophets.
● So for this guidance Muslims are required to
believe in the Books.
● Allah says in the Holy Book:

● "Those who believe in the revelation sent down to

you (Mohammad) and in what was sent before
you…" [2:4]
● There were several revealed books but only four
out of them are famous"
● The Holy Quran, revealed to the Holy Prophet
(pbuh).
● Injil or the Gospels was revealed to Isa. The
Christians failed to act upon it; they distorted it
and introduced the doctrine (policy) of trinity and
redemption through crucification; although Isa
clearly told his followers that Allah was his and
their Lord. According to the Quran Injil confirms
the Torah.
● Zubur or Psalms, revealed to David.

● Torah was revealed to Moses for the guidance of

Bani Israel. It contained Allah’s command, warning
 and mercy. The original book was changed. Its
followers distorted the words of Allah. Allah says,
‘’they change the words from their (right) places
and forget a good part of the message that was
sent.’’(5:13)
● The Qur’an also mentions the Suhuf of Ibrahim.

● Books were also revealed to other messengers, who

were sent at different times among different
nations having different languages.
● Their teachings were in the language they spoke
and they were for the guidance of that particular
community.
● The teachings contained were, the Uniqueness and
Oneness of Allah, the concept of reward and
punishment for one's deeds in the life after death.
● All the heavenly books were from Allah and
whatever Allah said in them is to be believed in.
However due to changes and alternations, their
originality and purity has been brought into
question.
● The preservation of the Holy Scriptures was the
duty of their respective followers.
● The basic purpose of these books was the
acknowledgment of the Oneness of Allah.
● These books made it clear to the people that they
should believe in the prophets of their times.
● If anyone failed to do so, their faith in Allah would
not merit any rewards.
● These books also testified that all the Prophets
were truthful and they should not differentiate
among them.
● Each Prophet (pbuh), after all, was sent by Allah
with guidance, and the primary message of each
was the same.
● These books also reformed the wrong beliefs of
people concerning Allah’s Essence, His Messengers,
books, and the life after death and acts of worship.
● Instead of preserving the scriptures in their
memories and on tablets, they distorted them. The
outcome is that these scriptures cannot be relied
upon to be the same as when they were sent down.
● Since Islam is based on the Quran, and the Qur’an
is Allah’s last book, Allah took the responsibility of
preserving whatever is contained in it.
● The following holy verse testifies this, “We have sent
down the Quran Ourself and We Ourself will guard
it…” (15:9)
● It is the living miracle of the Quran that no one ever
produced even a verse like that of the Quran.
● The Qur’an, unlike the other divine books which
were meant for a particular community, is a guide
book for all communities for all times to come.
● The Qur’an is a universal book, sent to the entire
mankind for all ages.
 BELIEF IN PREDESTINATION

● Belief in the Divine Decree (order by a leader) is

mentioned in the Imaan-e-Mufassal.
● This means that everything, good or bad, is
decided by Allah, is an article of faith and without
this our faith is not complete.
● Faith in predestination means that the Most High
Allah has decreed all things; whatever happens in
the world whether it is concerning the conditions
and operations of things or the happenings in our
lives is decided by Allah.
● The belief in Divine predestination
includes belief in 4 things:

● Allah is the creator of

everything. According to the Muslim Faith,
Allah is the sole Creator and Cherisher of
the universe. His power is not limited in
any sphere. The Qur’an says: ‘’ Allah is the
Creator of all things and He is the
Guardian over all things’’ (39:62).
● Allah knows everything; what has, is and
will happen.Therefore it will not be wrong
to say that God not only has knowledge of
each and every affair of the entire universe
but also all the matters and occurrences
 are under His control. ‘’…He knows what is
in front of them and what is behind
them…’’ (2:255)
● Allah has recorded all that has passed, all
that is happening and all that will happen.
We know from the Ahadith of the Holy
Prophet that amongst the very first
creations of Allah was the pen. He
commanded it to write down His
knowledge. Thus all that is to happen is
contained in the written tablet of the
decrees of Allah which is called the Loh-e-
Mahfooz. ‘’Are you (Prophet) not aware that
God knows all that is in the heavens and
the earth? All this is written in a Record
which is easy for God.’’ (22:70)
● Whatever Allah wills, happens and
whatever He wills not, does not happen. We
ourselves can see the Divine Will in many
objects and phenomena around us. The
Qur’an invites us to appreciate by
saying: ‘’It is not permitted to the sun to
catch up to the moon, nor can the night
outstrip the day; each just swims along in
its own orbit (according to the Divine
Will)’’ (36:40). These are demonstrations of
Allah’s unlimited power and command.
● Similarly, man, the most supreme creation of Allah
is no exception to this Divine Will.
● Humans have been granted liberty and free will,
but at the same time they are submissive to the
laws of nature.
● Allah has predestined the span of every person’s
life, their share of good and ill fortune and the
fruits of their efforts in accordance with His eternal
knowledge.
● This is to say that He has ordained (designed) the
things as they were to take place in this world and
in the life to come.
● This however does not imply that whatever we do is
predestined to be done by us and we have no
freedom of action.
● No one is forced to do a certain thing because of
its predestination.
● Allah has given every human the ability to do good
or bad in life. People decide what to do, but Allah
has knowledge of our deeds even before we were
created.
● He knew what we could and would do but did not
make us do it.
● Constant praying to Allah is important because
‘’dua’’ or humble invocation is the only thing that
can change our destinies
● While Allah has given free choice to people, man
has also been shown the correct way by means of
revelation through His prophets.
● Man has the final choice to accept or decline this
Divine guidance. His choice rests on his will as the
Qur’an says: ‘’ Surely, We have shown him the way,
whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his
will)’’ (76:3).
 ARTICLES OF FAITH
The attached document contains verses that will help
students to develop their answers on the articles of
faith.
Abu Huraira reported: ‘One day the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) appeared before the public
that a man came to him and said: “Prophet of Allah [tell
me] what is Iman?” Upon this he (the Holy Prophet)
replied: “That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels,
His books, His meeting, His Messengers and that you
affirm your faith in the Resurrection hereafter.”’ (Kitab
al-iman 1:4)
Describe the articles of faith by using information from
the Quranic verses and ahadith quoted below:
Tauhid:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the
Worlds Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day
of Judgement, Thee do we worship, And Thine aid we
seek. Show us the straight way. The way of those on
whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose
(portion) is not wrath And do not go astray. (Qur’an 1)
The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on
him by them. (Qur’an 7:180)
Prophets/messengers:
Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is
revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto
Abraham, and Ismael, and Isaac and Jacob, and the
tribes and that which Moses and Jesus received and
that which the Prophets received from their Lord.
(Qur’an 2:136
Say: O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which has
been sent down to us and that which has been sent
down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma`il (Ishmael), Ishaq
(Isaac), Ya`qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat (the offspring of
the twelve sons of Ya`qub), and that which has been
given to Musa (Moses) and `Isa (Jesus), and that which
has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We
make no distinction between any of them, and to Him
we have submitted (in Islam). (Qur’an 136)
Revealed books:
That this is indeed a qur’an Most honourable, In Book
well-guarded, Which none shall touch but those who are
clean: A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. (Qur’an
56:77–80)
I leave behind me two things, the Qur’an and my
example the Sunnah and if you follow these you will
never go astray. (Prophet Muhammad’s last sermon)
Angels:
The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to
him from his Lord, and so do the believers. All believe in
Allah, His Angels and His Messengers. (Qur’an 2:285)
Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel – for he brings
down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah’s will, a
confirmation of what went before, and guidance and
glad tidings for those who believe, – Whoever is an
enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, to
Gabriel and Michael, – Lo! Allah is an enemy to those
who reject Faith. (Quran, 2 (Al-Baqara):97–98)
...then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before
her as a man in all respects. (Quran, 19 (Maryam):17)
Al Qadr:
Nor can a soul die except by Allah’s leave. (Qur’an 3:145)
Ali narrated that one day Muhammad was sitting with a
wooden stick in his hand with which he was scratching
the ground. He raised his head and said, ‘There is none
of you, but has his place assigned either in the Fire or
in Paradise.’ They (the Companions) enquired, ‘O Allah’s
Messenger! Why should we carry on doing good deeds,
shall we depend (on Qadr) and give up work?’
Muhammad said: ‘No, carry on doing good deeds, for
everyone will find it easy (to do) such deeds that will
lead him towards that for which he has been created.’
Then he recited the verse: ‘As for him who gives (in
charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, and
believes in al-Husna, We will make smooth for him the
path of Ease (goodness)’. (Qur’an (Surah al-Lail) 92:5-7)
The day of judgement:
Did you think that We had created you in play and that
you would not be brought back to us? (Qur’an 23:115)
Does man think that We cannot assembly his bones?
Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the
very tips of his fingers. (Qur’an 75:3–4)
Then when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no more
relationships between them that Day, nor will one ask
after another. (Qur’an 23: 101)
Fruits (Delights)… In Gardens of Felicity… Thrones… a
clear-flowing fountain, Crystal-white, of a taste delicious
to those who drink (thereof). (Qur’an 37:42–46)
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; none
shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones Who
gave the lie to truth and turn their backs. But those
most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it.
(Qur’an 92:14–17)
