and grief they suffer. Whereas belief and Islam say to the believer: the Most Compassionate Creator will take this child of yours who is in the throes of death from this lowly world to Paradise. He will make him both an intercessor for you, and an eternal child. Don’t worry, separation is temporary! Say: “The command is God’s.(40:12) To God do we belong and to Him shall we return*,”(2:156) and bear it patiently.

The Eternal One, He is the Eternal One!
