seen that this mortal life cannot be a reasonableob ject, and the final goal for such a creation; i. e. to come and live here for a short periode, living with immense hardships and difficulties, and then end to nothing or to some dusts! Is that what is meant by our complex creation?

" Do you think that we have created you for nothing,( IN JEST )and that you would not return to us?"

THE HOLY QURN S 32: 511

Secondly; in this world the evildoers are usually inone line with the beneficients and some times higher; a none equity which dosn't read with the great justice of God. So there must be somewhere or some how to distinct bad from good and false from truth.

" Do the evildores think that they are equal in OURSIGHT, with the believer who do good works, so that their lives and deaths are alike? How bad they judge!

THE HOLY QURN S 54: 12

Thirdly; the Infinite Mercy of GodNECESSITATES that His Mercy and Bounties come not to an end by man's death.

" Say to who belongs all that heavens and the earthcontain? say to Allah; He has inscribed Mercy for Himself and willl gather you all on the day of resurrection. That day is sure to come. Those who have lost their own souls are those who will never have faith."

THE HOLY QURN S 6: 21

Qurn, addressing those who doubt about theresurrection asks: How do they doubt the Power of the Almighty to raise the dead? while they already have seen God's first creation, BEGINNING to make them out of the soil:

" Were we weary with the first creation, that theyshould be in confused doubt about a new creation?"

THE HOLY QURN S 05: 51

" And he( the unbeliever )makes comparison for Us, and forgets his own creation. He asks: Who will give life to the rotten bones? ' say: He who created them for the first time will give them life again, He has knowledge of every creature.

THE HOLY QURN S 63: 87 97

Besides that; is the creation of man impotant incomparison with that of heavens and the earth? He who was able to create such a vast, and strange world, is He not able to raise the dead?

" Do they not see that Allah who created the heavensand the earth, and was not wearied by their creation can raise the dead to life? Yes, He Has Power to do everything."

THE HOLY QURN S 64: 33

63RESURRECTION IS CORPOREAL

WE BELIEVE that not only the SOUL, but thesoul and body of man both will be raised to life in resurrection. This is because whatever is done here is done by both the soul and the body; so the reward too should be given to both of them.

Most of the Quranic verses which rafer toresurrection have put the stress on corporeal raise ofthe body as well as the soul.

In answer to the amazed questioner, who asked theprophet: who raises the dead? Quran answers: He

who gave them their first creation can easily raise themonce again.

" Does man think that we cannot assemble his bonesonce again? Yes! We are able to remould the very Tips of his fingers."

THE HOLY QURN S 57: 3 4

Such verses also denote that the resurrection iscorporeal too. There are also verses that report of getting out of our graves, proving the raise to be bodily

73THE STRANGE WORLD ,AFTER DEATH

WE BELIEVE that whatever is going on afterdeath, and in the PARADISE HELL, is far abovewhat we see here!

" No one knows what delights of the eyes,( THE REALBLISS THAT GIVES MOST SATISFACTION )are kept hidden for them as a reward for their good deeds."

THE HOLY QURN S 23: 71

Through a famous tradition God says:" I have prepared for my virtuous servants,

BOUNTIES that not eye has ever seen, no ear hasever heard, and no heart has ever comprehended." As a mather of fact, in this world we are similar toa FOETUS in the mother's womb! If the the foetuscould have a mind and wisdom he could certainlyKNOW nothing of whatever is outside the womb, suchas the sun, the bright moon, the beautiful flowers ANDthe roaring sea- waves. So is this world COMPAREDto the here- after. It is comparable with the womb inrelation to the next. please note carefully.

83RESURRECTION AND THE RECORD OF OUR DEEDS

WE BELIEVE that in DOOMSDAY, theRECORD BOOK of whatever we have done, will be given to us. The record of those who are sanctified will be given to their right hand, and that of the wrongdoers shall be given to their left. By reading the book of their deeds the virtuous will be happy and the evildoers anxious.

" He who is given his record in his right hand will say: Take mine and read it! I knew that I would come to

my account. ' And he will be in a blissful life, in a loftygarden with clusters of fruit within his reach.

We shall say to him: Eat and drink to your happiness. ' Here is your reward for what you did in days gone by. ' And as for him whose book is given to his left hand, will say: Ah! Would that my record had not been givento me! would that I knew nothing of my account. Would that death had made an end of me." My wealthhas availed me nothing, and I AM BEREFT OF ALLMY POWER."

THE HOLY QURN S 96: 91 52

As for the book; how it is written or read, no oneknows enough, but it exists, no one can deny. The particularities of that day is such that we cannot know it in detail, but generally we know what is going to happen.

93THE WITNESSES IN THE FINAL JUDGEMENT

WE BELIEVE that in the final judgement, besidesGod who is controlling all the judgements, there are other witnesses too; such as the hands and feet; the

skin and even the ground upon which we live. All ofthese will testify as to what we have done before!

" That Day, We should set a seal on their mouths,( SHUT THEM UP )and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet shall bear witness to all that they did."

THE HOLY QURN S 63: 56

" When they reach it, their ears and their skins willtestify to their misdeeds! why did you speak against us? ' they will say to their skins? And their skins will reply:" ALLAH, who gives speech to all, has made us to speak."

THE HOLY QURN S 14: 02

" When the Earth is shaken to her utmost convulsion, and man asks: What may this mean? ' On that DAY will she declare her reports, because your LORD have inspired her to do so."

THE HOLY QURN S 99: 4 5

04THE PASSAGE WAY ,(BRIDGE) AND THE SCALE TOWEIGH DEEDS

WE BELIEVE that in the Doomsday, thePASSAGEWAY( SERT )and the scale for weighing our deeds do exist. By the PASSAGE WAY, a bridge is meant, which is laid over the Hell, and every one must pass over that bridge to reach PARADISE! Yes! The bridge or passage way that may lead to Paradise, hangs over the FIRE.

" There is not one of you who shall not pass throughthe confines of the Hell! Such is the absolute decree of your LORD. We will deliver those who fear Us, but the wrongdoers shall be left to endure its torments on their knees."

THE HOLY QURN S 91: 17 27

Passing through that hard passage- way, depends onwhat MAN had done before. We read a famous tradition thus:" Some people will pass the bridge as quick as a lightning! Some pass it over as, fast as a speedy horse, others like the pedestrains. A group will go on, leaning on their hands and feet, and some are
