2. The Concept
Of Unseen In
The Qur'an

3. 1) Belief in the Unseen is central to the message of the Qur’an.
“This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear
Allah; who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out
of what We have provided for them.” (Surah al-Baqarah: 2-3).
2) No one can know the unseen except Allah.
“No one in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen except Allah.'
They are not aware of when they will be raised. No, their knowledge
respecting the hereafter is slight and hasty. In fact they have doubts
about it. In fact they are blind to it.” (Surat an-Naml, 65-66).

All spirits after death do return to their creator, and are called
to account for their acts both righteous and evil.

each other.

13. Death, which is the separation of the spirit from the body, introduces
man to another stage of life in which felicity or disappointment depends
upon good or evil deeds in the stage of life before death.

"You have been created for subsistence, not annihilation. What
happens is that you will be transferred from one house to
another."

spiritual worlds, in which the soul awaits after death and
before resurrection on Qiyamah (Judgement Day).

then experience a second life in the barzakh. The questioning is
nothing other than the exposure of the reality of the state of
their nafs (soul).

“In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid
water" (14:16).
 Whereas the rewards of Heaven include plentiful, fresh fruits and milk, the
inhabitants of Hell will eat from the Tree of Zaqqum. The Quran describes it:

lead will it boil in the belly, like the boiling of burning despair" (44:43-46).

24. Conclusion

25. The main goal in the belief in unseen matters is to test the faith of
every Muslim to the Almighty. It cannot be achieved by the human
mind which limited and short life.
Every Muslim must believe in the existence of unseen matters that
can not be disputed although can not be seen clearly through the eye
sight. For those who not believe, the person's faith become fragile
because not believe there will be things supernatural knowledge of
God.
