bad end—that is, whose faith is snatched at the time of death or who departs the world in a state of disbelief?

Listen! The grave shall compress such a wretched individual with such force that their ribs on one side will interlace with the ribs of the other side.

There is eternity; there is no more death. O people of the Fire! There is eternity; there is no more death.” At this point, for the dwellers of Paradise, there shall be joy upon joy, and for the dwellers of
