FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK (Part 9
                                Resurrection

And that there can be no doubt
about the Hour of Judgement
                                                    (Kahf 18: 21)

"Did ye then think that We created you in jest,
and that ye would not be brought back to Us for account?"
                                                    (Mu'minun 23: 115)

>From the earth did We create you,
and into it shall We return you,
and from it shall We bring you out once again.
                                                    (Taha 20: 55)

It is He who give you life
Will cause you to die,
And again give you Life:
                                                    (Hajj 22: 66)

That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned,
no injustice will there be that Day,
for God is swift in taking account.
                                                    (Mu'min 40: 17)

The life of this world
is alluring to those who reject faith,
and they scoff at those who believe.
But the Righteous will be above them
on the Day of Resurrection;
for God bestows His abundance
without measure
on whom He will.
                                                    (Baqarah 2: 212)

    This is the ultimate assurance to all who BELIEVE and lead a life as a
GOD-ABIDING person.  Fear not of the trials and tribulations in this short
earthly life - for God has promised us an abundant life.

TO BE CONTINUED (God Willing)

***KNOW that Islam is a universal religion as a way of life.  It governs every
aspect of human life, from individual's behaviour to living in community, from
social and economic principles to political system, from government justice to
international relation, and above all, from relation between human being to
human being up to relation between human being and his creator, the One and
Only One God.

***KNOW that the term traditionalist, conservative, extrimist, fundamentalist,
radicals or similar labels DO NOT originate from Islam.  In Islam it is either
to be a Believer or a Non-Believer, either to be a True Believer or a Hypocrite,
either to practise Islam as a whole or leave it all.
