THE WORD OF GOD

Every event is caused by the angels of God, invisible to ordinary human eyes. There is a similar invisible aspect of the present, outward world and it is the world of the Hereafter. [This is] God’s promise. Never does God fail to fulfil His promise—but most people do not know this; they go by the outward appearance of life in this world, and are neglectful of the Hereafter. Do they not ponder about their own selves? God has created the heavens and the earth and all that is between for a purpose and for an appointed time? Yet many deny they will ever meet with their Lord. Have they not travelled through the land and seen what end their predecessors met? They were mightier: they cultivated the earth more and built more upon it than these have ever built. Their own messengers also came to them with clear signs: God did not wrong them; they wronged themselves. Then the end of those who committed evil was evil, for they belied the signs of God, and they derided them. (30: 6-10) Constant remembrance (through prayer, etc.) and deep contemplation lead a man towards finding God. It is by profound thought that a man finds God. In the present world, God has scattered His signs all across the human environment, in the surrounding universe and also in the teachings of the Prophet. Those who give serious consideration to these signs of God will find God. When a rightful argument is presented and is ignored it is equivalent to ignoring God Himself. For such people there is only eternal deprivation. God originates the creation, and shall repeat it, then to Him you shall be returned. On the Day the Hour arrives, the guilty will be struck dumb with despair, and have no intercessors among those partners they ascribed to God. They will deny these partners. When the Last Hour dawns—on that Day they will be sorted out: those who believed and did good deeds will rejoice in a Garden, and as for those who denied the truth and belied Our signs and the meeting in the Hereafter—they shall be brought to the torment. So glorify God in the evening and in the morning—and praise be to Him in the heavens and on the earth— and glorify Him in the late afternoon, and at midday. (30: 11-18) The existence of a perfect and complete world is definite proof of the First Creation. If the first creation was possible, why should the second not be possible? If one accepts the present world, but does not accept the Hereafter, it amounts to denying a natural corollary of a fact which one has accepted .
