THE NEXT WORLD
The present world may seem to lack noting; but the order of this world has been established with the trial of man in mind. According to Gods scheme, only a world, which leads up to reward and punishment, can be considered ideal and permanent. This is not the case in the present world. So, then the period of trial is over, God will destroy this
world and create another more complete one. There the evil will be separated from the righteous, and all will be confronted with the just consequences of their deeds.
The present world is full of strange paradoxes. Here, birds chant hymns of divine praise, while man recites eulogies to himself. Stares and planets continue their voyages without clashing with one another, while man willfully sets himself on a collision course with others. In this world there is no tree, which undermines another, but men spend their lives plotting one anothers destruction. Lofty, upright trees show their meekness by casting their shadows on the
ground, but if man ascends to any heights he immediately becomes arrogant.
This attitude of mans if totally contrary to Gods will for His entire creation. Doomsday will erase these paradoxes, the might of all save God will be eradicated, and every will saw His will be negated.
When this period of trial has run its course, God will destroy the present world and create another one. There, the righteous and the wicked will be separated from one another.
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1. When the earth is severely quaked.
2. And the earth ejects its loads.
3. The human will wonder: "What is
happening?"
4. On that day, it will tell its news.
5. That your Lord has commanded
it.
6. On that day, the people will issue
from every direction, to be shown
their works.
7. Whoever does an atom's weight of
good will see it.
8. And whoever does an atom's weight
of evil will see it.
Sura 99: The Quake (Al-Zalzalah)
There is a beautiful saying of the Holy Prophet. He said: "This world is the cultivation field of the next world. As you sow in this world, so you will reap in the next."

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
