be dipped once in Paradise. Then he will be asked: “Son of Adam, did you ever face any misery? Did you ever experience any hardship?” So he will say: “No, by God, O Lord! I never faced any misery, and I never experienced any hardship.” }1 If you enter Paradise, you will live a very happy life without sickness, pain, sadness, or death; God will be pleased with you; and you will live there forever. God has said in the Qur’an: But those who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them to gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow, lasting in them forever.... (Qur’an, 4:57) (Please visit www.islam-guide.com/hereafter for more information on Paradise or the life after death.) (2) Salvation from Hellfire God has said in the Qur’an: Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if one offered it as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers. (Qur’an, 3:91) So, this life is our only chance to win Paradise and to escape fromHellfire, because if someone dies in disbelief, he will not have another chance to come back to this world to believe. As God has said in the Qur’an about what is going to happen for the unbelievers on the Day of Judgment: If you could but see when they are set before the Fire (Hell) and say: “Would that wemight return (to the world)! Then we would not reject the verses of our Lord, but we would be of the believers!” (Qur’an, 6:27) But no one will have this second opportunity.
