The believer is God’s industry, and the non-believer is satan’s industry.

Then his next life begins, where he is eternally handed over to the crop he has grown. The one who has grown the crop of thorns will find himself trapped amongst thorns. however, on the other hand, the one who has grown the crop of flowers and fragrances will enter the gardens of Paradise forever.
