The verse says...

The verse says: "And that you seek the forgiveness of Allah and turn unto Him in repentance so that He may provide you with a goodly provision to an appointed term, ..." Therefore, before enabling one to reap the fruits of his deeds in the After- Life, religion and religious ideologies tend to produce their fruits in this world.

Moreover, the fact that everyone is rewarded according to his deeds in this world, and people's individual differences are never overlooked, it is amazing how they can all act in accordance with those four principles mentioned above. Allah measures each in his virtue and every individual's merit for whatever He bestows upon him. The verse continues saying: "... and bestow His abounding grace on everyone endowed with grace.

..." However, if you turn against these principles, disobeying these ideological and practical commandments, I fear for you the punishment of a Great Day, when you must stand in that great court of Justice for the Divine Judgment. The verse says: "... But if you turn away(from serving Him), then I fear for you the Penalty of a Great Day. " Commentary : Verse 4 (4) إِلَى اللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ وَ هُوَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَديرٌ " To Allah is your return and He is All- Powerful over everything.

" Commentary : At any rate, one should beware that regardless of who he is and whatever rank or position he may occupy, that ultimately, the one will return to Him. The verse says: " To Allah is your return ..." The above sentence points to the fifth principle of the fundamental principles of the Qur'an, that is, the Resurrection. You should never think that your power is significant compared to the power of Allah, or you are able to disobey His orders, and escape His Court of Justice.

Never give yourselves the benefit of a doubt that He would be unable to assemble your degenerated bones after death, providing them with a new life, because He is Omnipotent and has the power over all things. The verse continues saying: "... and He is All- Powerful over everything. " Commentary : Verse 5 (5) أَلا إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا مِنْهُ أَلا حينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ ما يُسِرُّونَ وَ ما يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ " Behold!

They fold up their breasts to hide them from him(the Prophet)! Behold! Even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal: Verily He is aware of what is in the hearts.
