Now, I return to our original topic.
The parable of the disbeliever (concerning the meeting with God)
Quran 24: 39, which means:
[God – be glorified – gave a parable about the acts of associaters, and He said:]
{
39. As for those who disbelieve, their deeds a are as a mirage b in a plane-land:
the thirsty one supposes it water, but when he comes to it, he will find it nothing [of what he supposed] c, and [will] find [in ambush of him] God, Who [will] give him his due punishment; and God is Swift at punishing.}
...............................................................
39
a Which they do, and think they are acts of obedience to God.
39
b The ‘mirage’ is a land with sand or pebbles on which the sun rays fall, and if man sees it from a far place, he will deem it water.
39
c So similarly, the associater deems the work, that he produces, beneficial for him, and that he will be rewarded for it, but he will not find anything of his works in the Next Life, because he did all that [not for God but] for those other than God; while some of such works, he associated others with God.
