Those who do not accept this set of beliefs can derive no benefit from the Qur’an. He will gather them together, examine their conduct and grant each one just reward for his actions (iv) that those who are accounted good in God’s judgement will be sent to Heaven, and those judged by Him as evil-doers will be consigned to Hell (v) that the real measure of success and failure is not one’s prosperity in the present life, but one’s success or failure according to God’s judgement in the Next. The term al-Akhirah embraces a whole set of ideas: (i) that man is not an irresponsible being, but is answerable to God for all his conduct in this world (ii) that the present order of the world is not timeless, but will come to an end at an appointed hour known only to God (iii) that when this world comes to an end God will bring into being another world in which He will resurrect, at one and the same moment, all the human beings ever born on earth.

Belief in the After-life is the sixth and last requirement. The Qur’an excludes all such people and is prepared to open the source of its grace only to those who believe that mankind does require Divine Guidance, who acknowledge that this guidance does not come to people individually but reaches them through Prophets and Divine Books and who are not given to racial or national chauvinism but are devotees of Truth alone, and are therefore prepared to submit to Divine Guidance wherever it be found.Ĩ. And these examples We present to the people that perhaps they will give thought. This door is also closed to those who believe in Divine books as such, but confine this belief to those books accepted by their forefathers, and spurn Divine Guidance revealed to anyone born beyond their own racial and national boundaries. Inspirational Quote: If We had sent down this Qur’an upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah. It is also closed to those who, even if they believe in the need for such guidance, do not consider it necessary to seek it through the channel of revelation and prophethood, but would rather weave their own set of ideas and concepts and regard them as equivalent to Divine Guidance. The door of the Qur’an is closed to all those who do not consider it necessary for man to receive guidance from God. The fifth requirement is that one should believe in the Books revealed by God to His Prophets in the various ages and regions of the world, in the Book revealed to Muhammad (peace be on him) as well as in those revealed to the other Prophets who preceded him. (2:4) who believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you, and have firm faith in the Hereafter.
