During the time of pilgrimage when people from all around, rushed to Mecca to perform the rites of HAJJ Mohammad's advent was the general topic of conversations and questions. When the polytheists were asked about Qurän, they answered; we are of opinion that these writing are some fairy-tales of ancient, that are composed and fabricated newly. When the same question was asked of a pious man; unlike the ungodly, he would answer; ``All good!''....good in this life for those who follow the Law, and far better for them in the Hereafter.
Our Lord is mere goodness, pure truth and All-mercy and from such a sacred Essence, nothing can come out but good and beauty. The Holy Book that our Lord has inspired to our prophet is a light to guide us; is a medicine to cure our mental disease, and it is a guidance to salvation and prosperity; so also a measure of distinction between truth and falsehood.
Then word moves about the abode of the good-doers and the godly, in the life to come:ِ
``They will live in the eternal gardens of bliss (PARADISE) with streams flowing underneath its trees, and for them therein is whatever they may wish.''
The reference here is not only to the physical bounties of the promised Paradise. In brief and through a hint, it is pointed out that, the inhabitants of Paradise can have whatever pleases them, besides the best of the physical means of life. Elsewhere in the Qurän (S43:71) we read:ِ
``To them will be passed dishes and goblets of gold. They will have in there all that their souls could desire, and all that the eyes could delight in.''
The pious ones or those who die having been cleansed, are clean from all sorts of polytheism, of pride and oppression, and of all kinds of evil and sin.
The Arabic, ``TATAVAFFÄHOM'' is a fine touch to the incident of death, which implies that the angels come to receive and to take over the soul of man. In other word; death is not the end of man's life. It rather is a glorious new beginning for the believers, and a very bad start and commencement for the faithless.
