8:22). The fate, which will be theirs in the world
of tomorrow, is summed up in the Book of God
thus:
He that gives no heed to My warning shall
have a woeful living (in the Hereafter), and
will come to Us blind on the Day of
Resurrection. ‘Lord,’ he will say, ‘Why have
you brought me blind before You, while I was
blessed with sight during my life-time?’ We
will answer, ‘In like manner, Our signs came
to you but you forgot them. Likewise, this day
you will yourself be forgotten.’
Thus do We reward the transgressor who
disbelieves the signs of his Lord. And surely
the punishment of the life to come is more
terrible and more lasting (20: 124-127).
