Those who ascribe equals to Allah will encounter the horror in their minds in the hereafter

Everyone who does not believe in Allah (God) who fails to properly
appreciate Him and to perform his duty to serve Him will be
recompensed in Hell in the eternal life of the Hereafter. Yet it is as
if some people were intoxicated in the face ofthis manifest truth. It
is possible to give unbelieving evolutionists as example of such
people.
Unbelieving evolutionists spend theirwhole lives denying (surely Allah
is beyond that) Allah's existence. They have made defending this
heretical ideology the main purpose of their lives. There is no doubt
that their reward for this in Allah's presence will be very terrible.
But every lie they tell and every unscientific scenario they produce
to turn people from belief in Allah will confront them in Hell as the
dark world of the evolutionary myths in their own minds. Unbelieving
evolutionists will encounter the same horrendous moral conceptions in
Hell that they have in their minds now. Unless Allah wills otherwise,
deniers will suffer an eternal life full of torment. (Allah knowsthe
truth.)
"We created many of thejinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts
they do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They
have ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No, they
are even further astray! They are the unaware." (Surat al-A'raf, 179)
One of the distinguishing features of evolutionist propaganda is that
it is made up of stories basedon evolutionists' own imaginations. A
scientist telling the story generally sets up evolutionary scenarios
with his own personal conceptions and by misinterpreting scientific
findings through having adoptedevolution as a dogma. That scientist
will then seek to impose that scenario on people, suggesting it is a
thesis based on sound scientific evidence. In fact, what evolutionists
do is to portray wild pigs' teeth as human teeth or else produce hoax
skulls by putting bones belonging to different life forms together.
Devoid of any evidence with which to prove their theories, Darwinists
have no problem with adding a great many imaginary elements to their
tales. The fact is, however, that this is an unscientific propaganda
technique based on preconception alone.
Imagining that they can deceive people in this way, unbelieving
Darwinists have ignored one very important matter for the last 150
years:These scenarios they have produced in order to deny the
existence of Allah (surelyour Lord is beyond that) and impose the
fraud of evolution on humanity, and which merely reflecttheir own
unhealthy states of mind, will rise up before them, one by one, in
Hell. (Allah knowsthe truth)Allah has created every detail of life in
Hell as a response to the deniers. There aremany verses in the Qur'an
that describe the torment-filled life of Hell in both physical and
alsopsychological and social terms. Looking at the details about Hell
that Almighty Allah reveals in these verses, it is clear that Allah
has prepared Hell as a reward for unbelievers who deny Him and take
chance as their deities (surely our Lord is beyond that), in amanner
that parallels their heretical beliefs. The fictitious process of
evolution that they have been trying to impose on humanity for
centuries will itself be imposed on evolution, skipping not a single
detail. Everything, from their food to their clothes, from the
terrifying human forms in Hell to their life styles full of mental and
physical suffering, will be as dark and painful asin their own
scenarios. In this way, unbelieving evolutionists will encounter a
climate and philosophy of life that matches their own ideas.Parallel
to their own claims, they will live alongside terrifying creatures
like the intermediate forms they invented in their own imaginations,
will be subjected to an endless class conflict, will be denigrated
because of ideas about master racesand will suffer in the kind of dark
and smoky environment they claim existed in the primeval world.
(Surely Allah knows the truth.)
We can describe the environment that exists in the minds of persons,
who deny Allah's sublime creation (Allah isbeyond that) and who invent
all kinds of tales about how the universe, the world and human beings
came into existence, and that they will themselves experience in Hell,
as follows:
1- What Do Unbelieving EvolutionistsMaintain?
They Claim Human Beings, That Allah Created with Such Superior
Features, Are Descended from Apes
Evolutionists claim that human beings, entities possessed of
consciousness and free will and able to think, reason, and make
decisions and judgments, are descended from apes, which in terms of
consciousness, are no different from horses or mice.
What Will Happen in Hell?
Those Who Deny Allah's Creation (Surely Allah is beyond that) Will Be
Made Despicable Apes in This World and the Hereafter
"We said to them,'BE APES, DESPISED, CAST OUT.'" (Surat al-Baqara, 65)
"Say: 'Shall I tell you of areward with Allah far worse than that:
that of those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He is angry –
turning some of themINTO MONKEYS AND INTO PIGS –AND WHO WORSHIPPED
FALSE DEITIES? Such people are in a worse situation and further from
the right way.'" (Surat al-Ma'ida, 60)
"When they were insolent about what they had been forbidden to do, We
saidto them, 'BE APES!'" (Surat al-A'raf, 166)
2- What Do Unbelieving EvolutionistsMaintain?
They Claim That Human Beings Evolved from So-Called Reptiles
Evolutionists claim that all the living species on Earth came about
through evolution over a very long period of time. According to this
fictitious scenario, some fish felt the need to move to dry land for
various reasons, and a number of changes then began taking place in
them. As fish gradually moved onto dry land they slowly turned into
amphibians and initiated the supposed process of evolution.
What Will Happen in Hell?In the Hereafter, Almighty Allah Will
Assemble the Unbelievers in Hell by Dragging Them on Their Faces,
'Like the Reptiles in the Scenario of Evolution'
"Whoever Allah guides istruly guided. But as for those He leads
astray, you will not find any protectors for them apart from Him.WE
WILL GATHER THEMon the Day of Resurrection,FLAT ON THEIR FACES, BLIND,
DUMBAND DEAF. Their shelter will be Hell. Whenever the Blaze dies
down, We will increase it for them." (Sura al-Isra', 97)
"the DayTHEY ARE SHOVED ROUGHLYinto theFire of Hell: 'This is the Fire
which you denied!'"(Surat at-Tur, 13-14)
3- What Do Unbelieving EvolutionistsMaintain?
They Claim That They AreDescended "from So-Called Intermediate Forms
That Were Unable to Speak, See or Hear"
According to what evolutionists claim, thereshould have been many life
forms that reflected the transition between two species and that bore
the features of both. For example, before fish moved onto dry land and
turned intoreptiles a great many half-lunged and half-gilled, or
half-legged and half finned life forms must have existed. Or until
apes finally turned into human beings many half-human and half-apelife
forms must have existed over many millions of years. Evolutionists
call these fictitious entities they believe once existed "intermediate
forms." According to their scenario, during the time of this
intermediarytransition, a major stage in the so-called evolutionary
process, there must have been many life forms with deficient or
missing organs between two different species, for which reason there
musthave been creatures thatcould not see or hear. The fact is,
however, that no evidence for onesingle intermediate formhas been
found in any ofthe millions of fossil specimens that have been
extracted from the different strata of the Earth.
What Will Happen in Hell?
Allah Will Assemble the Unbelievers as Entities "Unable to See, Hear
or Speak," Just Like They Wanted
"But if anyone turns away from My reminder,his life will be a dark and
narrow one and on the Day of RisingWE WILL GATHER HIM BLIND."(Surah
Ta-Ha, 124)
"...SO WE PUT OUT THEIR EYES: 'Taste My punishment and warnings!'"
(Surat al-Qamar, 37)
"…WE WILL GATHER THEMon the Day of Resurrection, flat on their
faces,BLIND, DUMB AND DEAF. Their shelter will be Hell. Whenever the
Blaze dies down, We will increase it for them." (Sura al-Isra', 97)

Jesus' Superior Character

JESUS' SUPERIOR CHARACTER
The hadith literature reveals many important truths about Jesus. Some
hadiths inform us that hewas of medium height, had white skin with a
hue of red, straight hair, and was very handsome. He had
shoulder-length hair and wore a woolen cloak and sandals made of bark.
He often removed himself from this world, had a strong desire for the
Hereafter, and spent much time worshipping God. 1Otherhadiths describe
this astonishingly handsome and holy man as follows:
While I was asleep, I saw myself (in a dream) making tawaf (circling)
around the Ka`bah. I saw a brown-skinned man with straight hair being
supported by two men, and with water dripping from his head. I
asked:"Who is this?" They said:"The son of Mary." (Sahih Bukhari)
When you see him, you will recognize him. He is of medium height, and
his coloring is reddish-white. He will be wearing two garments, and
his hair will look wetalthough no water will have wet it. (Ahmad ibn
Hanbal, Musnad)
Like every chosen and sent Prophet, Jesus had the highest form of
character. One of his most distinguishing features was his high
standard of morals and noble personality, which had an immediate
effect on people. In addition, he had a strong personality due to his
complete trust, reliance, and faith in God; was decisive and
courageous;and could not be manipulated by society. The following
verses reveal his superiority:
This is the argument We gave to Abraham againsthis people. We raise in
rank anyone We will. Your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. We gave him
Isaac and Jacob, each of whom We guided. And before him We had guided
Noah. And among his descendants were David,Solomon, Job, Joseph,
Moses, and Aaron. That ishow We recompense thegood-doers. And
Zechariah, John, Jesus, and Elias. All of them were among the
righteous. And Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot. Allof them We favored
overall beings. And some of their forebears, descendants, and
brothers; We chose themand guided them to a straight path. That is
God's guidance. He guides by it those of His servants He wills ...
(Qur'an, 6:83-88)
Jesus was also a just, modest, compassionate, sincere, honest,
selfless person and a chosen Prophet. In one verse, God says the
following about him:
These Messengers: We favored some of them over others. God spoke
directly to some of them and raised up some of them in rank. We gave
Clear Signs to Jesus, son of Mary, and reinforced him with the Purest
Spirit. (Qur'an, 2:253)
When we look at Jesus' life, we can see his high morality. First of
all, he was a discerning leader who taught the true religion to his
people. He was the most obedient toGod's commandments and
recommendations, and was a guide who rid people of myths. The Qur'an
reveals that Jesus was diligently fulfilling all of the requirements
ofworship and morality:
He [Jesus] said: "I am the servant of God. He has given me the Book
and made me a Prophet. He has made me blessed wherever I am, directed
me to perform prayer and give alms as long as I live, and to show
devotion to my mother."(Qur'an, 19:30-32)
Throughout his life, Jesusspoke wisely and effectively and knew right
from wrong. He replied with insight and reason to all of his enemies'
questions posed to catch him and defeated all of their attempts. He
remained true to God, irrespective of his people's attitude toward
him, drew strength from his strong faith and devotion, and explained
God's existence in the most effective way.
Like all other Prophets, Jesus used plain, clear, and intelligible
languagewhen preaching. His allegories moved people's conscience, and
encouraged them to reflect deeply and to behave according to God's
good pleasure. Jesus' love for God, as well as his exuberant faith and
diligence in following God's orders, isevident from his teachings. His
method of preaching shows clearly that God chose him above all other
people.

Jesus' Life

JESUS' LIFE
According to the historical sources, Mary was born at a time when the
chaos mentioned earlier in the book was happening, when
Romanoppression was real, and the Jews were impatiently awaiting the
Messiah's arrival. She wasa descendent of `Imran, whose family had
been made superior by God (Qur'an, 3:33). God chose her from among
them, purified her, and placed her above all other women, for as the
Qur'anreveals:
And when the angels said: "Mary, God has chosen you and purified you.
He has chosen you over all other women. Mary, obey your Lord
andprostrate and bow with those who bow." (Qur'an,3:42-43)
The family of `Imran was known to believe in God, to seek His good
pleasurein whatever they do, andto always respect the limits that He
has established. When Imran's wife learned of her pregnancy, she
immediately turned to God in prayer and dedicated her unborn child to
God. It is a sign of her true submission to God that she named her
child Maryam (Mary in English), meaning"someone who is always
worshipping God." This subject is revealed in the Qur'an:
Remember when the wife of 'Imran said: "My Lord, I have pledged to You
what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service]. Please accept
myprayer. You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." When she gave
birth, she said: "My Lord! I have given birth to a girl"-and God knew
very well what she had given birth to, male and female are not the
same-"and I have named her Mary and placed her and her children in
Your safekeeping from the accursed Satan." (Qur'an, 3:35-36)
God reveals that Mary's mother dedicated her to God, "consecrated for
His service." The Arabic wordused here, i.e., muharraran, means "one
who is wholly preoccupied with the Hereafter, who has no business with
the world, who worships God at all times, who is in the service of the
House of God, who is sincere in hisor her worship and, who has no
worldly intentionsin his or her worship." Imran's wife asked God to
allow Mary to serve only Him, and for her to become totally devoted to
His good pleasure rather than other people's.
When Mary was born, Imran's wife asked God to protect Mary and her
descendents from the evilof Satan. God answered her sincere prayer and
gave Mary a superior morality. The Qur'an reveals how carefully Mary
was raised under God's protection:
Her Lord accepted her with approval and made her grow in health and
beauty. And Zechariah became her guardian. (Qur'an, 3:37)
God states that Zechariahwas a righteous servant who was favored over
allbeings, and one guided to a straight path as a Prophet. God praises
him in the Qur'an and points out his impeccable character (Qur'an,
6:85-87). Zechariah, who took on the responsibility of caring for Mary
and thus witnessed many of her miracles, realized that she was God's
chosen one.
For instance, whenever Zechariah entered the presence of Mary, who
always worshipped by herself, he found food with her. The Qur'an says:
Every time Zechariah visited her in the prayingchamber, he found food
with her. He said: "Mary, how did you come by this?" She said: "It is
fromGod. God provides for whoever He wills withoutany reckoning."
(Qur'an, 3:37)
Mary became well knownin her community as a member of her family who
was dedicated wholeheartedly to God. The Qur'an speaks of her chastity
in particular, as follows:
And Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity-We
breathedOur Spirit into her, and she confirmed the Words of her Lord
and His Book and was one of the obedient. (Qur'an, 66:12)
Mary's Encounter with Gabriel
Mary's life was full of miracles, one of which was her encounter with
Gabriel. At a particular stage in her life, Mary lefther community and
family and secluded herself somewhere in theeast. There, the Qur'an
mentions that Gabriel appeared to her in the form of a man:
Mention Mary in the Book, how she withdrewfrom her people to an
eastern place and veiled herself from them. Then We sent Our Spirit to
her, and it took on for her theform of a handsome, well-built man. She
[Mary] said: "I seek refuge from you with theAll-Merciful if you guard
against evil." (Qur'an, 19:16-18)
At first, she did not know that the unknown personwas Gabriel. Thus,
she immediately sought refuge with God when he approached and said
that she was a God-fearing believer. Herwords make it clear that she
was a God-fearing and chaste servant. Gabriel introduced himself by
stating that hewas sent by God to give her the following good news:
He said [to Mary]: "I am only your Lord's messenger so that He cangive
you a pure boy." (Qur'an, 19:19)
When the angels said:"Mary, your Lord gives you good news of a Word
from Him. His nameis the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, of high esteem
in this world and the Hereafter, one of those brought near." (Qur'an,
3:45)
Mary received this important news and asked Gabriel how she could have
a child while she was still a virgin:
She said: "How can I havea boy when no man has touched me and I am not
an unchaste woman?" Hesaid: "It will be so, for your Lord says: 'That
is easy for Me. It is so that We can make him a Sign for mankind and a
mercyfrom Us.' It is a matter already decreed." So she conceived him
and withdrew with him to a distant place. (Qur'an, 19:20-22)
She said: "My Lord, how can I have a son when noman has yet touched
me?" He said: "It will be so." God creates whatever He wills. When He
decides on something,He just says to it "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an,
3:47)
Gabriel replied that God has the power to do anything and that He
needs only to say "Be!" and it is. This is how Maryconceived Jesus-by
the will of God and without ever being touched by a man. Her pregnancy
was created independent of the worldly order in a miraculous way. As
our Lord reveals, after receiving this good news, Mary withdrew to
somewhere quiet. God supported her during that time in every way and
provided all that a pregnant woman could wish for psychologically as
well as materially. He made her withdraw fromher people, who would not
have been able to comprehend her situation, and thereby prevented the
physical orspiritual damage that they could have caused her.

16 God is One

another's burden. We never punish until We have sent a Messenger.
(Qur'an, 17:15)
Old Testament
The soul who sins is the one who will die. The sonwill not share the

earned, and He pardons much. (Qur'an, 42:30)

guilt, and yet, our God, you have punished us less than our sins have

were on the verge of raising theirhands against you and He held their
hands backfrom you. Heed God. The believers should put their trust in
God. (Qur'an, 5:11)

him in the fearof God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him
success. (2 Chronicles 26:5)

understanding. (Proverbs3:5)
O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you. (Psalm 84:12)

aone] who swerves from it. If He had wished, He could have guided
everyone of you. (Qur'an, 16:9)
Old Testament
[I]n all your ways acknowledge him, and He will make your paths
straight. (Proverbs 3:6)
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
[Man asks]: "So when is the Day of Resurrection?" But whenthe eyesight
is dazzled, and the moon is eclipsed, and the sun and moon are fused
together, on that Day man will ask: "Where can I run?" No indeed!
There will be no safe place. (Qur'an, 75:6-11)
When the stars are extinguished, when Heaven is split open, when the
mountains arepulverised, and when the Messengers' time is appointed.
(Qur'an, 77:8-11)
The Hour is coming, but Ihave concealed it so thatevery self can be
repaid for its efforts. (Qur'an, 20:15)
They will ask you about the Hour: When is it due?Say: "Knowledge of it
rests with my Lord alone.He alone will reveal it at its proper time.
It hangs heavy in the heavens and Earth. It will not come upon you
except suddenly." They will ask you as if you had full knowledge of
it. Say:"Knowledge of it rests with God alone. But most people do not
know that." (Qur'an, 7:187)
On the Day the sky is like molten brass and the mountains like tufts
of colored wool. No good friend will ask about his friend. (Qur'an,
70:8-10)
When Heaven is split apart and goes red like dregs of oil. (Qur'an, 55:37)
New Testament
But in those days, following that distress, the sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the
sky... (Mark 13:24-25)

drunkenness, and the anxieties of life, and that Day will close on you
unexpectedly, like a trap.For it will come upon all those who live on
the face of the whole Earth. (Luke 21:34-35)
... The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be
destroyed by fire, and Earth and everything in itwill be laid bare.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people
ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look
forward to the Day of God and speed its coming. That Day will bring
about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will
melt in the heat. (2 Peter 3:10-12)
Old Testament
... For the Day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun
and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine. (Joel
3:14-15)
… The Day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the
Almighty. Because of this,all hands will go limp, every man's heart
will melt. Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each
other, their faces aflame. See, the Day of the Lord is coming-a cruel
Day, with wrath and fierce anger-to make the land desolate and destroy
the sinners within it. The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the
moon will not give its light. (Isaiah 13:6-10)
Alas for that Day! For the day of the Lord is near; it will come like
destruction from the Almighty. (Joel 1:15)
The great Day of the Lordis near-near and coming quickly. Listen! The
cry onthe Day of the Lord will be bitter, the shouting ofthe warrior
there. That Day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin, a day ofdarkness and gloom, a day of clouds
and blackness. (Zephaniah 1:14-15)
