Fourth matter:

After destroying this world, the One Who created it will re-form it more beautifully and convert it into a mansion of the Hereafter. The Qur'an, which contains thousands of rational evidences, and other Divine Scriptures agree on this, as do the All-Majestic One's Attributes related to His Majesty, Grace, and Beautiful Names. Moreover, He promised that He would bring about the Resurrection and the Great Mustering through all of His heavenly decrees sent to His Prophets, all of whom agree that He carries out His promises. Prophet Muhammad is the foremost to confirm this, along with the strength of his 1,000 miracles. All saints and righteous scholars confirm this as well. Lastly, the universe predicts it with all the scientific evidence it contains.

In short, it is as certain as the sun's rising the next morning after setting this evening that the "sun of truth" will appear in the form of the Hereafter's life after this world's life sets.

Inspired by the Divine Name the All-Wise and the Qur'an's grace, I have elaborated the proofs of this truth to convince the intellect and ready the heart to accept it. But the words of the Creator of the universe have the greatest right to speak in this matter. So, listen to the Eternal Discourse of the All-Wise Maker, in which He addresses everyone regardless of time and place. In response, we must believe and affirm what He says:

When Earth is shaken with a mighty shaking and brings forth its burdens, and humanity asks: "What ails it?" Upon that day it shall give its tidings, for its Lord has inspired it. Upon that day people shall go forth in groups to receive requital for their former deeds, and whoever has done an atom's weight of good shall see it, and whoever has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it. (99:1-8)

Give good tidings to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, that for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with fruits therefrom they shall say: "This is what we were provided with aforetime"; that they shall be given in perfect semblance; and that for them shall be spouses purified. They shall dwell therein forever. (2:25)

All glory be to You. We have no knowledge save what You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make mistakes. O God, bestow blessings on our master Muhammad and on his Family, as You bestowed blessings on our master Abraham and his family. You are the All-Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.
