Period of the Righteous

PERIOD OF THE RIGHTEOUS The Righteous shall inherit Paradise, free from all kinds of fear and sorrow. In Paradise, they will have unlimited pleasure, where they will unfold the wonders of God for all eternity. I n Chapter 21 of the Quran, a prediction is thus expressed: “We have already written in the Psalms the following reminder, ‘My righteous servants shall inherit the earth’” (21:105). This prediction is thus expressed in the Bible: “But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.” (Psalms, 37:28-29) In this verse of the Quran, ‘the righteous’ means the selected believers from the entire human history. This event will take place in the next world. After Doomsday, all the humans born on the earth will be gathered together on the Day of Gathering. Almighty God, accompanied by the angels, will then make His appearance. The verdict on the eternal future of man will be given according to the record of his deeds before death.
