ness, while the unbelievers' world is full of non-existence, separation, nothingness, and transience. This is taught by the saying, which is on every- one's lips, "For those for whom God exists, everything exists; and for those for whom He does not exist, nothing exists; for them there is nothing."

In Short: Just as at the time of death belief saves man from eternal extinction, so it saves everyone's private world from the darknesses of annihilation and nothingness. Unbelief, however, and especially if it is absolute unbelief, sends man and his private world to non-existence with death, and casts him into infernal darknesses. It transforms the pleasures of life into bitter poisons. Let the ears ring of those who prefer the life of this world to that of the hereafter! Let them come and find a solution for this, or else let them enter belief and be saved from these dreadful losses!

Glory be unto You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed, You are All-Knowing, All-Wise. [^39]
