The Hereafter is the abode of recompense, better and more lasting: that is what the verses gathered here affirm. They make belief in the Last Day a condition of faith, treat its denial as disbelief and show how that denial shapes the conduct of those who deny it. They also speak of man torn between the Hereafter and this world.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day would not ask permission of you to be excused from striving [i.e., fighting] with their wealth and their lives. And Allāh is Knowing of those who fear Him.
Only those would ask permission of you who do not believe in Allāh and the Last Day and whose hearts have doubted, and they, in their doubt, are hesitating.
