Author: Safaa Abdel-Aziz  | Posted: 14-03-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 13 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah' questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
---------------
In verse 43:66-71 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind this question: are the disbelievers waiting for the Hour that is to say they are in fact awaiting nothing; but the Hour should come upon them all of a sudden while they perceive not? On the Day of Judgment, friends in sin in this world, will be foes and will go to Hell while friends in faith in this world will keep their sincere friendship and will dwell in the Paradise forever.

Verses 43:66-71 give the question of this article and talk about it
The meanings of the verses 43:66-71
Verse 43:66 says:
Are the disbelievers awaiting anything, that is to say they are in fact awaiting nothing; but the Hour should come upon them suddenly, unexpectedly, while they are unaware?, of the time of its coming beforehand, when they are not aware of the descent of punishment upon them?.
Verse 43:67 says:
Friends in sin who shared in acts of disobedience in this world, on that day, the Day of Judgment will be foes one to another, except for the God-fearing, those who kept their duty to Allah, those who have love for one another through their commitment to obedience of God — such will be friends on that day and it will be said to them:
Verse 43:68 says:
Allah will then say: O MY servants! there is no fear for you this day, when others are in fear, nor will you grieve when others are in grief
Verse 43:69 says:
Those who believed Muhammad and the Quran and were self surrendered, submitted themselves to Allah in their worship and confession of Allah's divine Oneness
Verse 43:70 says:
Enter Paradise, you and your spouses, your wives, to be made joyful, to be made glad, to be made happy and to be honored with gifts and delights in Paradise.
Verse 43:71 says:
They will be served from all around with large dishes of gold, trays of gold filled with different types of food and also they will be served from all around with round goblets without handles, filled with different drinks
And therein i.e. in Paradise is all that souls desire and eyes find sweet to look at.
And they are immortal therein, you will abide in Paradise forever, never to die or leave.

By: Nawaz | 11/10/2008
Islam has nothing to do with those who commit acts of terrorism. Therefore, it is wise to differentiate Muslims (who are exercising this) and Islam. Just as acts of terrorism committed by Christians cannot be attributed to Christianity (like in bosnia & india), acts of terrorism committed by Muslims must not be attributed to Islam or its teachings.
